Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Grief,
Insurance: Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Anthem,

Introduction

I guide clients in navigating the challenges of anxiety disorders—including generalized anxiety, specific anxieties, phobias, and OCD—with a specialized focus on the profound connection between autoimmune diseases, trauma, and prolonged stress. Research shows that chronic stress and unresolved trauma can deeply impact the body, often contributing to the onset and progression of autoimmune conditions. My work is dedicated to helping clients understand and heal this mind-body connection, fostering both emotional and physical well-being. In addition, I emphasize the pivotal role of relationships, understanding that the quality of your connections with others profoundly affects your overall health and happiness. By addressing relational dynamics alongside the physical and emotional elements of your life, we establish a holistic foundation for growth and healing. My approach is rooted in wellness, integrating every aspect of your life to alleviate symptoms and restore balance. Together, we will uncover sources of stress, resolve past wounds, and create a tailored plan to support your healing journey and empower you to thrive.
