Currently licensed in NY, NJ, & PA! I am so fortunate to have a job I truly love. My work is not limited to one method or one issue facing individuals. I greater enjoy working with clients who are motivated to gain a higher level of understanding of themselves and find a place where their value and worth are recognized and celebrated. So often our gifts and talents and even the love & kindness we have to offer, goes unseen because we haven’t found a place for it to shine yet. Life can be challenging and very painful. Finding meaning in this pain often leads us to a place of peace & growth.

Do you ever wonder why life seems so hard? OK, part of it may be obvious-- even TV commercials were pointing out how we live in "troubled times." But before our world became surreal, maybe you already had personal concerns. Maybe even before the double pandemic, divisive politics, and more, you've been exhausted. Maybe you've felt like a fraud. Maybe you've experienced loneliness or even despair. But you're not alone. What if you gave yourself space for connection, self-care, and exploration? Therapy is a space where you could be visible with a voice... a space for collaborating, healing, and transformation.

It is a privilege to provide individual therapy to adults of all ages and from all walks of life. I will work with you to address anxiety and panic, depression, grief, major life transitions, relationship and work challenges, family struggles, identity issues, acute and chronic medical conditions, trauma (sexual, physical and emotional abuse and neglect), and emotional/life stagnation. My primary aim is to cultivate an authentic connection, allowing you to feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted, and ultimately allowing for greater self-understanding and positive growth and change.

Starting therapy can bring a mix of emotions and searching for a therapist can be a daunting task. It is important to me that you feel comfortable, and my therapeutic approach is beneficial to you before starting your healing journey. I am an empathetic and devoted licensed clinical psychologist with 11 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children (6 years old and up). My main goal is to always provide a safe, supportive, collaborative environment that encourages open dialogue and the freedom to be authentically yourself.

Sometimes life sucks. You may feel stuck and overwhelmed, but don't know what you can do. You may feel lonely and insecure but no one understands you. Or you may feel numb and empty, and cannot find meaning in your life. No matter what life challenges you are facing, you don't need to fight in solitude anymore. I'm here to walk with you on your path of personal growth and healing.

Therapy can be daunting. Perhaps you feel uncertain about where to take the first step. Perhaps you've been on this journey for awhile, and you are exhausted or lost. Wherever you might be in your life’s journey and no matter how heavy the burdens you may carry, I am dedicated to meeting you where you are. As your therapist, I will support you, with compassion, understanding, and insight, as you take the risky (and courageous) step of sharing your experiences with me.
