Helping You Grow
About
When I was 15 years old, my mother's life was taken by an unexplained illness. It was a horrific time to lose a parent, and the only way I survived it was through a relationship with a warm, caring, supportive therapist.
Following high school, I attended college at James Madison University in Harrisonburg VA, where I majored in Psychology and minored in English Literature. To this day, I still prefer to spend a rainy afternoon snuggled up under a blanket next to a fire, reading Emily Bronté
I attained my Master's Degree in Social Work from NYU, where I focused on work with patients suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and learned how much more common this disorder is than most people realize. This led me to further resarch and practice in the area of behavioral therapy. Many people suffering from trauma self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, eating, over-exercising, or other behaviors. Getting to the root of these behaviors, and trying to gently uncover the pain held there, can be an exhilerating process for both client and therapist. As you gain additional insight into the motivations for your adapted behvaior or thought pattern, you will also likely find areas to target where real change can happen.
I experience therapy every day as an amazing opportunity for self-relection
