Are you struggling with loneliness, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Have recent life changes left you feeling groundless, stuck, or lost in life? If you want to feel more confident, successful, and connected, I encourage you to reach out. I am a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who focuses on increasing insight, self-understanding, and meaning. I work well with individuals struggling with low self-esteem, unfulfilling relationships, life change, grief & loss, and meaning-making.

The one thing we all can count on is change. Transition throughout life is inevitable. As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse patients from various cultures and backgrounds. I am clinically trained in multiple methodologies and therapeutic interventions. As part of my clinical journey, my mission is to assist individuals, families, and couples in discovering healthy ways to heal and to work through life changes. I advocate for emotional healing in order to achieve optimal functioning and fulfillment in life. I will provide a therapeutically safe environment for all patients.

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in New Jersey. My ideal client is someone who has awareness and motivation to improve their overall being in a safe and accepting space. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who may be experiencing stressors, life adjustments, or traumas. I aim to foster a safe, comfortable environment to form collaborative relationships with my clients built on honesty, trust, and mutual respect. Together, we will process issues, identify treatment goals, and facilitate new skills unique to your lifestyle and experiences.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and earned my master's degree from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. I encourage my clients to share their feelings while working towards their goals in a comforting and judgement free environment. At times, we may feel alone, lost or confused during difficult moments in our lives. With compassion and empathy, I will join you in your journey.

If you find yourself with challenges that you desire to navigate successfully through, then you are in the right place! I believe, "without a struggle there can be no progress" as stated by the late Fredrick Douglass. My ideal client is someone who is looking to gain better inward insight and improve the skills he/she already has while discovering new ones.

Thank you for viewing my page and I hope I can help you on the path towards healing and personal growth. I strive to create a safe, genuine, and empathic space for clients to explore their inner experiences. I have expertise in working with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma/post-traumatic stress including complex trauma, relationship issues, reproductive health and infertility, life cycle changes including college transitions, new motherhood, and grief and loss. I have postgraduate certification in integrative trauma studies and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Engaging in therapy can be pivotal towards becoming more self-aware and improving your quality of life and relationships; congratulations on taking this step. Regardless of whether a specific trauma or event leads you to therapy, our work together will focus on who you are in your various environments and relationships, how your personal circumstances led you here, and how you can achieve the future you envision.

I'm a firm believer in navigating our present through self-awareness, reflection, intention, healing, love, and mindfulness. I love helping individuals overcome life's challenges, learn new skills, and holding space for them to feel vulnerable, transparent, heard, and supported. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and families in settings such as schools, in-home, outpatient, inpatient, and private practice. My experience includes helping individuals with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship issues, low self-esteem, gender identity and orientation.

Healing is not linear, but it is possible. I am here to help create a calm, supportive, and caring environment for you as you begin your mental health journey. I use a combination of techniques and skills from different types of theories and I am a big believer in meeting individuals where they are at, engaging in a collaborative therapeutic environment. Using different types of skills & techniques allow us to meet you where you're at to determine what the best treatment plan is for you including, but not limited to, healthy coping skills, stress management, & increasing self-esteem & self-worth.

I am in-network with Aetna, Horizon BCBS, United, Oxford, UMR and Lyra. Grief is deeply personal. In times of loss, you deserve to be seen, heard, and validated no matter what shape or form it comes in. Maybe you recently lost a loved one. The stress of interpersonal relationships or career shifts might be weighing heavy on you. Or perhaps postpartum and adjusting to parenthood is harder than you expected it to be. It may not feel like it right now, but you aren’t alone — therapy is a safe space to share your story.
