A Note on Supervision

As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) pursuing my LCSW, I conduct therapy under clinical supervision as required by the New York State Education Department. This means an experienced, licensed clinical social worker reviews my cases to ensure the highest quality of care.

What this means for you: You benefit from two experienced professionals supporting your healing—me as your direct therapist, and my supervisor's decades of expertise informing our work together.

Supervision is a standard and valuable part of clinical training, and many clients appreciate the additional layer of clinical oversight.

Therapy

Liberation-Based Mental Health Care for Deep, Lasting Transformation

You've done the work. You've read the books, tried the breathing exercises, maybe even been in therapy before. But something still feels... stuck.

You're successful on paper—but battling anxiety, exhaustion, or a persistent sense that you're just going through the motions. Or perhaps you're navigating the weight of systemic oppression, racial trauma, or intergenerational pain that traditional therapy wasn't designed to address.

You're ready for something deeper.

I specialize in liberation-based therapy that addresses trauma at its roots—in your nervous system, your body, and the systems that shaped your experiences. This isn't about managing symptoms or learning to cope better. This is about actual transformation.

Who This Work Is For

My practice welcomes anyone seeking deep, transformative healing—with particular expertise serving:

People navigating systemic oppression – Whether you're experiencing racism, sexism, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, or other forms of marginalization, I understand that your mental health challenges exist within systems of power and oppression. You need a therapist who won't gaslight you into thinking it's all in your head.

High achievers struggling beneath the surface – You're successful on paper but battling anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from yourself despite external achievement. You're tired of being told to just "manage stress better."

Women doing the work of unlearning – Whether you're challenging patriarchal conditioning, healing from gender-based trauma, breaking intergenerational patterns, or reclaiming your voice and power, liberation-based therapy offers a framework for that deep work.

Anyone seeking healing beyond talk therapy – You've tried traditional therapy, maybe multiple times. You understand your patterns intellectually but still feel stuck. You're ready for an approach that addresses trauma in your nervous system and body, not just your mind.

People committed to their own liberation – You're willing to look at difficult truths, challenge what you've been taught, and do the real work of transformation. You want more than symptom management—you want actual freedom.

If you're tired of surface-level solutions and ready to heal at the deepest level, this practice is for you.

My Approach: How We Work Together

Liberation-Based Framework

Traditional therapy often treats your symptoms as individual problems to be fixed. Liberation-based therapy recognizes that your mental health exists within systems—systems of oppression, family dynamics, cultural conditioning, and survival strategies that once protected you but may no longer serve you.

Together, we explore:

  • How systemic oppression and racialized trauma impact your nervous system

  • What patterns and symptoms are trying to tell you

  • What needs to be witnessed, released, and reclaimed

  • How to reconnect with your authentic power and voice

Liberation isn't just about feeling better—it's about reclaiming agency, breaking free from limiting patterns, and living in alignment with who you truly are.

How We Heal: Therapeutic Modalities

I integrate evidence-based clinical approaches with holistic practices because true healing requires more than talk therapy alone.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is one of the most effective treatments for trauma and PTSD. Using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sound), we help your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge.

What this means for you: Memories that once triggered intense anxiety, shame, or fear become neutral. You can finally move forward without being haunted by the past.

I use EMDR both for specific traumatic events and to process ongoing emotional pain, relationship wounds, and patterns rooted in early experiences.

Neurofeedback Brain Training

Your brain is incredibly adaptable. Neurofeedback harnesses that adaptability to help regulate your nervous system at the most foundational level.

Using a simple headset you wear at home, neurofeedback monitors your brainwave activity and provides real-time feedback, training your brain to operate in healthier patterns. It's like physical therapy for your nervous system.

What this addresses:

  • Anxiety and racing thoughts

  • Depression and low energy

  • Sleep disturbances and insomnia

  • ADHD and focus challenges

  • Emotional dysregulation

  • Trauma responses (hypervigilance, dissociation, freeze)

Most clients notice improvements within 4-8 weeks. The changes are often profound: better sleep, calmer nervous system, improved focus, greater emotional resilience.

Neurofeedback can be added to your therapy work or pursued on its own. Learn more about neurofeedback here.

Somatic Therapy

Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. Somatic therapy helps you work directly with body sensations, movement, and the nervous system to release stored trauma and restore regulation.

What this looks like: We pay attention to what your body is communicating—tension, tingling, temperature changes, emotional waves—and use that information to process and release what's been held.

This is especially powerful for clients who feel disconnected from their bodies or who have "tried everything" cognitively but still feel stuck physiologically.

Clinical Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy accesses the subconscious mind where many of our patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies live. In a deeply relaxed state, we can work with these patterns more directly than traditional talk therapy allows.

What this addresses:

  • Limiting beliefs and self-sabotage

  • Chronic anxiety and stress responses

  • Breaking unwanted patterns

  • Accessing inner resources and resilience

  • Healing developmental wounds

Hypnotherapy is gentle, client-directed, and profoundly effective for creating shifts that feel difficult to access through conscious work alone.

Mindfulness-Based Practices

Mindfulness isn't about "thinking positive" or bypassing difficult emotions. It's about cultivating the capacity to be present with what is—even when what is feels uncomfortable.

In therapy, mindfulness helps us:

  • Slow down enough to notice what you're actually feeling

  • Develop tolerance for difficult emotions (rather than avoiding them)

  • Recognize patterns as they're happening

  • Access the present moment instead of being trapped in past or future

I integrate mindfulness practices throughout our work, tailored to what feels accessible and useful for you.

What to Expect: The Therapy Process

Phase 1: Building Safety & Trust

We start by creating a foundation of safety—in our relationship, in your nervous system, and in the therapy space itself. You can't do deep work without feeling secure enough to be vulnerable.

We'll explore your history, your goals, your patterns, and what brought you to therapy. I'll get to know you as a whole person—your identity, culture, strengths, and survival strategies.

Phase 2: Deep Healing Work

Once there's trust and stability, we dive into the deeper work: processing trauma, releasing what no longer serves you, challenging limiting beliefs, and building new patterns.

This might include EMDR sessions, somatic processing, neurofeedback integration, or hypnotherapy—tailored to what your system needs.

This phase can be challenging. You're facing things you've avoided, feeling things you've suppressed, and changing patterns that have been with you for years. But you'll also experience profound relief, clarity, and reconnection with yourself.

Phase 3: Integration & Empowerment

As healing progresses, we focus on integration: taking what you've learned and embodying it in your daily life. You'll develop tools for self-regulation, deepen your self-awareness, and practice living from your authentic power.

Many clients transition to less frequent sessions during this phase (biweekly or monthly) as they build confidence in navigating life's challenges on their own.

Therapy is not forever. The goal is for you to internalize these tools and trust yourself fully—and eventually, to not need me anymore.

Working Together

My Commitment to You

I bring my full presence, clinical expertise, and deep respect for your journey. I won't pathologize you, gaslight you, or minimize your experiences. I will witness you fully, challenge you when it serves your growth, and hold space for all of you—the parts that are thriving and the parts that are struggling.

I understand what it's like to navigate systemic oppression. I've done my own deep healing work. I know that transformation is possible, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you reclaim your power.

Your Commitment to the Work

Therapy requires showing up—not just to sessions, but to yourself. This work asks you to:

  • Be honest (with me and with yourself)

  • Stay curious (even when it's uncomfortable)

  • Practice between sessions (integration happens in daily life)

  • Trust the process (healing isn't linear)

If you're ready for that level of commitment, we'll do powerful work together.
