I am a passionate and dedicated helping professional. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of New Jersey. I am experienced at assisting with many conditions, especially depression, anxiety and substance use disorders. I am also a qualified and experienced clinical supervisor for new counselors.

***I am currently only offering Teletherapy services, using a HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform*** At a fundamental level, everyone wants to feel fulfilled in life; to know that they matter, to be loved, and to feel safe. Unfortunately, many people move through life believing that they are powerless, cycling through toxic yet familiar relationships. As a Clinician, my goal is to help you to better understand yourself, so that you can make choices and move through life in a way that facilitates growth, rather than keeps you stuck.

I believe the creative process, inherent in everyone, can be used as a meaningful tool to help individuals develop personal insight and self- awareness. My clients are guided and supported to use art materials and the creative process to develop symbols and metaphors in their resulting art work which produces the vehicle for expression and communication. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are also used in treatment.

For both newcomers and those who’ve had counseling in the past, I am here to support you in this process. In our work together, you will find empathy and genuine non-judgment, respect for your worldview and culture, and the value of your collaboration. I instill advocacy and will help you to access other resources. I bring experience, continued education, and sincere dedication to our work. I wholeheartedly believe that every challenge in life presents opportunities to recognize existing strengths and discover new ones. I am committed to supporting your goals, your overcoming obstacles, and reclaiming expertise over your own life.

Better Days Therapy is a mental health service that provides counseling for adults, adolescents, children, and families. I work with individuals, groups and communities to improve mental health. I examine issues including substance abuse, aging, bullying, anger management, careers, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, LGBTQ issues, self-image, stress and suicide. I help clients define goals, plan action and gain insight into their thought process. I develop therapeutic processes and take a holistic (mind, body, and spirit) approach to mental health care. I will perform crisis intervention and crisis counseling when needed.

Children & Preteens can be particularly vulnerable to change & life's stressors. Many lack the skills necessary to cope in a positive way. Identifying feelings, triggers, & problematic behaviors in a warm, non-judgmental environment can help bring about change. I specialize in working with clients who may be struggling with: anxiety, depression, divorce, death, family transitions, social skills, bullying, academics and/or self-esteem. My goal is to provide support & work to resolve issues brought into focus by stress, transitions, or other triggering situations. When children feel safe, nurtured, and validated they are open to acquiring skills necessary for emotional growth.

Whether you're dealing with stressors from work, a recent breakup, peer/parental conflicts, anxiety from your busy schedule, or difficulties with a past traumatic experience; I am here to help you and give you the strategies and tools you need to succeed. Maybe you're feeling extremely anxious and have a tough time prioritizing your schedule which is causing tension in other areas of your life. Perhaps, you're a busy millennial or a teenager who is experiencing challenges in managing your emotions and in need of a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings.

Sometimes you do everything you're supposed to do and things go right. Sometimes you do everything you're not supposed to do and everything goes right. But what happens when almost nothing goes right? It's disheartening, disorienting, and undermines confidence. What can follow is anxiety (fear and threat come with disorientation), depression (apathy and hopelessness come with being ineffective). You may feel the world is conspiring against you. Often self-deprecation seeps in. You beat yourself up as you feel you've let yourself down, a self-betrayal informing you that you must be defective and inadequate.

Do you want to feel better about yourself and your life? Are you challenged with relationship issues, low self -esteem or your body image? Are you suffering from grief, anxiety or depression? I am easy to talk to. I establish a safe, trustworthy relationship in which you can be yourself and express your deepest fears and concerns. Together, we examine self-defeating thoughts & behavior, identify life-transforming choices, learn new ways to manage disruptive feelings, cultivate effective communication skills and work on discovering joy, intimacy and meaning in life. Most importantly, I will help you love who you are and the life you are living.

Having relationship problems? Feeling stuck or in a downward spiral? I work in a confidential setting where you find solutions and make changes to live a more satisfying and meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma/recovery, grief, difficult relationships, and major life transitions. I also treat borderline, narcissistic personality and mood disorders. A combination of advanced training in various modalities and experience allows me to custom treatment to your needs and concerns. I am on faculty at the International Psychotherapy Institute.

Are you a parent seeking support for yourself or your child? I specialize in psychological assessment, as well as therapy for children, teens, young adults, and parents. For younger children, I typically work with families around issues such as behavior management, ADHD, anxiety, and school issues.

For college students and young adults, I offer support around anxiety and depression, identity development, and education/ career planning.

I treat children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, bullying, school- or work-related difficulties, low self-esteem, family conflict, and a range of other life issues.
