I support women in their 20s–40s as they move through anxiety, trauma, cultural and family stress, identity concerns, burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I have a particular passion for working with cycle breakers- women committed to rewriting long-standing patterns and creating healthier emotional legacies for themselves and their families. My therapeutic work is trauma-informed and deeply relational. I incorporate EMDR and trauma-focused approaches to help clients process past experiences, regulate their nervous system, and move toward more grounded, aligned versions of themselves. I believe therapy should feel human, culturally aware, and empowering - a place where you feel safe enough to expand, heal, and grow. Beyond my clinical work, I am a committed advocate and educator. I’ve been featured in ELLE Magazine, Rescripted, and NJ Spotlight News, and was recognized as a “40 Under 40 Wellness Trailblazer” by Newspaper Media Group.
