About
Associate Clinical Social Worker supervised by Chelsea Silverman, LCSW
I am a licensed therapist specializing in trauma, women’s issues, and life transitions, offering online therapy to individuals seeking healing, clarity, and empowerment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in the belief that each person holds the capacity for growth and resilience, even in the face of deep pain or uncertainty.
I integrate evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based somatic practices to support clients in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, cultivating emotional regulation, and fostering self-compassion. My work is trauma-informed and deeply attuned to the unique experiences of humans who are navigating the complexities of identity, relationships, and shifting life stages.
Whether you’re processing the impact of past trauma, facing a major life change, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I offer a supportive space to explore, heal, and transform. My online practice allows you to access therapy from the safety and comfort of your own environment, providing flexibility while maintaining a strong therapeutic connection.
Clients often describe me as grounding, empathetic, and intuitive. I’m passionate about helping individuals reclaim their voice, set meaningful boundaries, and move forward with a deeper sense of authenticity and purpose.
Healing is not linear, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’m here to walk beside you.
