Everyone deserves to be seen and heard for who they truly are. Sometimes, due to life experiences and events, we lose track of who we are. We are left feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, sad, lost, angry, and not ourselves. Let's work together and explore all the possibilities your life has to offer you.

I have a holistic view in healing and deeply value the client-therapist relationship. Creativity is the true essence of psychotherapy. I value clients partnership in their healing and invite them to explore their inner insight and creativity along with my therapeutic guidance. I draw from clinical approaches such as CBT, culturally sensitive, eclectic, integrative, jungian, humanistic, transpersonal, strength based and gestalt. My experience has brought me to see valuable psychotherapy as when the client becomes aware that their presenting problem can be healed by adopting and integrating positive and healthy perceptions and actions.

I work with clients to help them make important changes or to overcome difficult life circumstances and obstacles. My desire is to support my clients, however, I also challenge them to foster growth. I have a energetic and transparent style that I hope feels relatable and warm. This is particularly important for clients who are: new to therapy, struggling with opening up, or are trying to overcome the negative stigma around seeking support. I have expertise in the areas of relational issues, stress, crisis intervention, depression, and anxiety. One of my specialties is working with active military service members and veterans.

I try to take an inquisitive approach to identify and help you overcome barriers with empowerment and encouragement. I try to make sessions strength based, person-centered, and motivational. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental, brave space where clients feel safe to process and find compassion for the unhealed parts of themselves. While my most common treatment modalities are attachment based, existential, internal family systems, and motivational interviewing; I will incorporate treatments best fit for each individual. I respect that your journey with change over time and our sessions will always accommodate that.

" Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it." As women, we tend to think we can handle all difficulties on our own. Sometimes it's important to take a step back and ask for help. My practice focuses on women and the struggles they face in their demanding lives. I strive to support you on your journey to health and renewed happiness. Let me help you work through some of life's difficult challenges, such as depression (both generalized and postpartum), adjustment to change, relationship issues, anxiety, struggles with weight, or life coaching.

Within each of us lies the answers but so often we don't listen, or can't hear, that voice. Therapy can help to quiet the mind and allow that voice to speak and be heard. When we follow its words we find exactly where we need to be. My goal in therapy is to help clients to find that voice and listen to it because it holds the answers we seek-It holds the map for the journey we are on.

Do you have a nagging voice inside that is wondering when you will make YOU a priority? Engaging in therapy can bring clarity, growth, understanding, and change. Starting the process though is nerve wracking & overwhelming. I work with clients to create a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you can express your "unedited" self, learn new skills, and build better relationships(with yourself too!). While this learning can occur independently with the use of self-help tools, working collaboratively with a therapist can make the journey toward change faster, less isolating, and even sometimes a bit fun.

You look like you’ve got it together—high-functioning, doing-the-most, probably answering emails with zero unread notifications. But inside? It’s loud. Doubt, anxiety, perfectionism, rinse and repeat. You’re exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone. Maybe you don’t even remember what it feels like to just be. You’re ready for that to change. You’re ready for something real, for your nervous system to breathe again, for your own damn approval. You’re not broken—you’re just done pretending you’re not struggling.

From a young age, my interest in psychology and therapy was shaped by my own experiences with mental health challenges during my teenage years. These experiences sparked a passion to support others facing similar struggles. I began my educational journey at Montclair State University, where I pursued my undergraduate degree. I then continued at Fairleigh Dickinson University, earning a Master's in Clinical Psychology and Counseling.

How do we make sense of our stuff? This is a critical question. Life can be challenging and sometimes we can’t understand what we are experiencing and why. Much of our ability to overcome adversity originates from our mindset- how we process our experiences. It is the lens through which we view our reality. Essentially, what contributes to our overall well-being is not necessarily the absence of setbacks but rather how we respond to these experiences. I work with my clients to help them shift their mindset and to find meaning in all of life’s experiences.

Anxiety and worry play a role in all of our lives. It can cause us feel stuck or make even the smallest decision seem impossible. You are not alone, many feel the same way everyday. Having children, parenting, illness, the loss of a loved one, divorce/relationship ending and changing jobs can all be sources of increased stress and worry. These stressors can impact our emotions causing our anxiety to become overwhelming. Learning to handle strong emotions and developing emotional intelligence is key to managing our life stressors.

With over 25 years working in the mental health field, I have found that a compassionate, empathetic approach is a necessity when providing therapy. Seeking therapy can be very challenging; one has usually endured a great amount of hardship or discomfort before even making the decision to seek help. A significant aspect to therapy is that to be truly effective, a person must feel comfortable with their therapist and build considerable trust to help facilitate their healing. My goal is to find the best approach that will work for you, maximizing the benefit you will receive in therapy.
