If life feels overwhelming or getting through the day has become exhausting, you don't have to navigate it alone. I believe in a highly collaborative, person-centered approach, which means we work as a team. With over 15 years of experience in the clinical field, my goal is to provide a safe, humanistic space where we can explore your feelings, build new emotional regulation skills, and gently untangle past trauma at a pace that feels right for you. 

My specialties:

• Complex Trauma & PTSD

• Anxiety & Depression

• Perinatal & Postpartum Support

• Life Transitions & Relationship Issues

When I'm not in the office, I'm usually lost in a good book with a hot cup of coffee or planning our next family vacation to Disney World. I also happen to be a huge dog lover, in fact, my overly friendly rescue dog often joins me at the office to offer an extra layer of comfort and support to my clients. 

If your relationship with your body or food feels like a frustrating cycle of shame and willpower, you are not alone, and it is not your fault. Often, these struggles are deeply rooted in trauma and emotional history that your body is still carrying. My approach bridges the gap between mental health and physical wellness. Using an eclectic approach that includes therapies such as ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I help clients untangle the layers of trauma and judgment so we can move beyond just talking about change, and start providing you with the practical tools to actually achieve it. 

My specialties: 

• Obesity and Weight Wellness

• Complex Trauma & PTSD

• Emotional & Binge Eating

• Anxiety & Mood Disorders

Because I've navigated my own health and wellness journey, I bring a deep, personal understanding to my practice. My goal is to ensure you feel truly seen and supported without judgement. When I'm not in the office, I believe in balancing physical and mental downtime. You'll often find me staying active outdoors (and indoors) on my bike, or winding down at home by building LEGO. 

I am currently celebrating a major milestone: completing my Master of Social Work program this August! I will be taking a brief step back to prepare for my NYS licensing exam, but I am excited to announce that I will be officially rejoining the Apex Wellness CNY team later this year!

I can't wait to share my full bio with you all very soon. I anticipate opening my schedule for client appointments in Winter 2026. Check back here for updates or contact our office if you have any questions!
