As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey, I specialize in supporting adults, and couples, who face challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, racial trauma, women’s issues, and family of origin concerns. My approach is strength based and client-centered, focusing on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences. I am passionate about this work because I believe humans are resilient and we have the power to create and implement the desired change. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to overcome obstacles and build a fulfilling, balanced life.
In our first few sessions, you can expect a compassionate and thorough assessment of your needs, collaborative goal setting, and the development of a personalized plan to guide our work together. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care.
What sets my practice apart is my deep commitment to cultural competence and my understanding of the unique stressors faced by individuals from diverse backgrounds. I strive to create an inclusive environment where every client feels seen, heard, and respected. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards growth.
