Let's Connect (732) 504-3320

I have a passion for working with kids and families. I am fascinated with the ways kids communicate and love finding the best ways to connect. I enjoy partnering with kids and families to figure out the best ways to overcome behavioral and emotional difficulties so everyone can grow and flourish. When I work with adults, I partner with them to understand, process, and overcome difficulties and traumas they have experienced so they can productively move forward. My work is influenced by cognitive behavioral and family systems theories, and I utilize EMDR when appropriate.

I am also authorized by PsyPact to practice telehealth in other PsyPact states.
