I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Board Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) in the state of New Jersey. I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from the Rutgers School of Social Work, and graduated in 2020. During my undergraduate and graduate programs, I worked with individuals facing mental health and co-occurring disorders at the partial-hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and older adults who struggle with life transitions, adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relationship issues.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be a difficult process. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We can't change difficult situations of the past. We can work together to understand and resolve challenges in life. By applying integrative, holistic therapy approaches and techniques, we will identify behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more meaningful life. If you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation, I will help you to achieve your goals.

Despite having reached the pinnacle of my profession after nearly two decades of practice, it was my own struggle with learning disabilities, dual diagnosis and other medical conditions and issues, that changed my perspective and my life. I came to appreciate an approach which focuses on the here and now; solution focused and goal oriented. I found little solace in traditional therapeutic approaches which focused largely on the past, and went on for months with no real relief nor positive impact on my life or functioning. As such, I strive to help my clients achieve their goals and actualize their dreams using a coaching approach.

At Princeton Family Institute we provide psychotherapy to families, couples and individuals from a culturally sensitive collaborative family systems perspective. I work with a range of problems:depression, anxiety, school refusal, child behavior problems, arrested emotional independence, substance abuse recovery, anorexia, and family and couples' conflict. In child-focused issues, I believe children should not alone bear the burden of change. I enlist family members as a resource in problem-solving. Parents and I work as a team to help their children. I welcome individuals, couples, and families whose problems have not been successfully addressed through other therapeutic approaches.

Accepting new clients! I am here to help. I utilize a holistic approach in working with clients, which encompasses components of cognitive behavior theory, trauma-informed interventions, positive behavioral supports and solution-focused methods. I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a safe environment for clients to feel validated, understood, and more capable of moving forward through life’s challenges. Clinical areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, loss/grief, parenting, life transitions, relationship issues, school avoidance, LGBTQ community, and learning disabilities.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, specializing with children, adolescents, and young adults. Specifically, I focus on helping children, adolescents, and young adults presenting with anxiety, school related stress, depression, ADHD, peer & relationship difficulty, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, behavior problems, and school challenges (i.e. school refusal/avoidance, poor executive skills, organizational difficulties, homework inconsistency, etc.). I address these challenges using cognitive-behavioral approaches that have clear scientific support for their effectiveness.

Stress has brought you here, and together we will pave the path toward reducing that stress. I am passionate about working with children, teens, and adults. Whether it is anxiety that paralyzes you, depression that isolates you, or relationship stress that weighs you down, there is hope in the therapeutic process to change and renew your life. In the safe, compassionate environment I provide you will begin to work through those thoughts, feelings, and patterns holding you back from the happiness you so deserve.
