Searching for a new therapist can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re exploring therapy for the first time, have tried it in the past, or feel like a change, beginning this journey with someone new can be intimidating. My goal is to make this transition as smooth and comfortable as possible, and yes, even enjoyable. While therapy can be challenging, it also offers moments of profound growth and self-discovery, and that can be really exciting. I have been dedicated to the mental health field since 2007, working extensively in PHP and IOP programs before moving into a high school-based setting and private practice.
My therapeutic approach, or recipe if you will, primarily integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Humanistic principles, with a touch of existentialism and some DBT skills thrown in for flavor. I focus on fostering self-awareness and personal growth, empowering clients to tap into their inner strengths to overcome life’s challenges.
I am licensed and provide telehealth in NJ and FL, so if you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking to elevate your life to the next level, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s take this step together towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. Book with me now by clicking on my website.

I changed careers at age 30 because helping people find or rediscover the joys in life was a much more fulfilling direction for me, and I have spent over 15 years, primarily working with teenagers, with the goal of building happiness and resiliency.

I most often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Early on in our work, I'll give you an introduction to what CBT is and start working on increasing self-awareness in how our own negative thoughts can strongly impact us. I find self-awareness to be pretty critical, because it's hard to change things you don't even realize is problematic.
