I am a Licensed Associate Counselor and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in NJ, a sober/moderation coach, a Certified Gambling Counselor, a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I’m here to support and encourage you through life’s challenges, using practical, proven methods to create a safe and supportive space for your growth. I take a direct but empathetic approach, meeting you where you are and helping you find solutions that truly fit your life.
With 14 years of experience in mental and behavioral health, I’ve had the privilege of helping many people find balance and stability in their lives. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused, and mindfulness techniques. I’m passionate about working together to help you reach your goals and feel more grounded.
I work with people from all walks of life, but I especially focus on teenagers, young adults, women, and those impacted by a loved one’s addiction. My approach is all about empowering you to take control of your own healing journey, helping you create lasting habits that stick, not just temporary fixes.
