About me
I provide a person-centered, trauma-informed, culturally humble dialogue integrated with holistic approaches to help you process past experiences, break long-held patterns, build self-trust, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom.
I am a licensed, certified social worker (LCSW) in Massachusetts, a licensed master social worker (LMSW) in Connecticut and New York, a military veteran, and a classically trained actor with an MFA and a Master of Social Work (MSW) with a certificate in trauma practice. I work virtually with adult individuals navigating trauma, identity, and transition—especially those impacted by complex PTSD, childhood neglect, and military service. My clinical focus includes supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).
I bring a unique, integrative approach that blends neuroscience, embodiment, and narrative practices, rooted in both professional training and personal lived experience. As someone who has worked in trauma healing and expressive arts for over two decades, I deeply believe in the power of connection, creativity, and compassionate presence.
Beyond my clinical practice, I work deeply with somatic (body-oriented) practices. For example, I am the founding director of DE-CRUIT®, an evidence-based trauma recovery program that uses classical theater—especially Shakespeare—as a healing tool. My work has appeared in more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, and I have regularly presented at conferences such as the International Trauma Conference, the Trauma Research Foundation (TRF), and the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium. My work is featured in TRF's Traumatic Studies Certification Course.
