I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the State of New Jersey. I have 20 years of experience working with young adults, adults, and families seeking support for addiction, depression, anxiety, life transitions such as divorce or career change, women's issues, relationship issues, and self-esteem. I received my BA in Psychology from Mount Saint Mary College and my MSW from Fordham University.
I utilize various evidence-based approaches in my work, including cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, and psychodynamic. My hope is to work together to identify feelings, increase awareness, and implement coping tools that will create the meaningful changes you are seeking.
I believe the cornerstone of the healing process is a strong therapeutic relationship. This is achieved through creating a safe and supportive environment where change can thrive. As your therapist, I will listen to your needs and work in collaboration with you to develop strategies that best meet your goals.
