Grief, anger, identity struggles, anxiety, and life transitions can feel overwhelming, like you are carrying a weight that no one else can see. Maybe you have lost someone close to you and the pain feels unbearable, or you are navigating the complexities of being part of the LGBTQ+ community and searching for understanding. Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety or trauma and worry that you will never break free. Parenting challenges, relationship conflicts, and major life changes can add to the stress, leaving you feeling lost or alone. Whatever you are facing, you do not have to go through it by yourself.

My number one specialty is in forensic psychological evaluations. I regularly work with attorneys in criminal matters related to competence to stand trial, competence to waive miranda rights, NGRI/diminished capacity, post conviction relief, juvenile waivers, risk assessments (violence, psychosexual, civil commitment), and sentencing/mitigation reports. In addition to my work on the criminal side, I also work in civil cases involving firearm ID & permits, mental health expungements, pre-employment evaluations, guardianship, and disability/personal injury cases. I've been an expert witness in courtrooms all over NJ since 2015.

You’re successful on the outside — capable, accomplished, and holding it together — yet inside you’re exhausted by self-doubt. No matter how much you achieve, it never quite feels like enough. You may struggle with imposter syndrome, anxiety, or a constant fear of being “found out,” even though you’ve done everything right. If traditional weekly therapy hasn’t created the change you were hoping for, you’re not alone — and there is another way forward.

You are the one everyone turns to-the helper/fixer, the dependable one. On the outside you seem to have it all together, on the inside you are exhausted, anxious, and feel you are living life to please others rather than yourself.

I help people to reconnect with who they are beneath the pressure to perform. If you are ready, I am here to help you find your voice, your worth and your calm center. You deserve to feel grounded, empowered & connected to others and to yourself.

I am trained and dedicated to help people navigate life’s challenges. Sometimes this is easy to identify – a difficult relationship, major loss or change, feeling anxious or depressed. Other times it may be harder to identify with words, but something in us or someone close to us has the strong sense that we need to investigate.
Talking about everything isn’t immediate, and it takes time to truly feel comfortable. My job is to create a safe and spacious environment to help that process develop.

You used to drive without thinking about it. Now your hands grip the wheel on highways. You avoid left turns, bridges, tunnels, or the exact road where the accident happened.
Maybe you were in a crash — or almost were — and since then your body reacts before your mind can reason. You feel embarrassed that something “so normal” feels impossible.
Or perhaps you’re a capable professional who travels for work, but flying brings panic, dread, or weeks of anticipatory anxiety.
You don’t want endless therapy.
You want your freedom back.

"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it"- This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day off because it is so true. Things happen to us throughout our lifetime that make us feel stuck, worthless, guilty, shamed, and like we are never enough. These ideas about ourselves dictate the way we learn, how we do in school and work, and how we love and connect to others. When someone has experienced trauma, these thoughts and feelings can be even more extreme which can cause significant distress. Growth and Empowerment is accepting new clients!

Seeking help is hard, especially for boys and men. It may go against everything you’ve learned about what makes a strong person. I’m not sure what you’ve been told, but I can assure you that once you take this step, you will quickly see that it is the strongest thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones. Many men I work with today are burnt out, depressed, anxious, irritable, angry, or all of the above. Left unchecked, this wreaks havoc on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. These feelings are signals, not weaknesses, and if addressed with courage and self-compassion, can become grounds for tremendous growth.
