Is shame preventing you from fully experiencing life? Do you keep falling into unhealthy relationship patterns? Is life feeling more unmanageable with each passing day?

If any of these questions resonate with you, I'm here to offer a safe space where you can be your authentic self.

I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a vast amount of experience working in the field of trauma. Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level. A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client.

As a therapist, I am most excited to see clients motivated to explore their unknown strengths, widen their horizons, increase their abilities to make informed decisions and lead a life of meaning as they define it. Everyone I have worked with brings to therapy a foundation upon which to grow. Regardless of the problem, an enhanced sense of self is possible. Instilling hope of something better in life is one of my greatest motivations, and assisting others in achieving their goals drew me to this profession.

My ideal client is anyone who genuinely wants help and genuinely wants to make a change. Their issues are immaterial.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well-being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I assist individuals with goals toward self improvement, through difficult life circumstances such as loss, and instilling hope when hope seems lost. Together we will work on ways to increase self esteem, self worth, and a positive outlook on life. I can include art therapy in sessions, to help open doors for those who may struggle with communicating emotions verbally, and can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

THERAPY: I hear so much negativity in our field about work with people. But - I am amazed by some of the people that step foot into my office. I am in awe of their ability to smile through pain. I feel blessed that I get to share in their strong, resilience and desire to grow and change. I learn so much from them. I’m also frustrated with societies message that emotions like anger, resentfulness and jealousy are abnormal for us to feel. Sometimes they interfere with other parts of our life. These people that I encounter on a day-to-day basis are amazing, beautiful people. To all of them I say-

My ideal client is someone who wants to actively pursue new paths to find their true, healthy self. Ideally, ready to do the work. I am here to challenge cognitive distortions. I will be a partner in brainstorming issues and goals. Hard work from the client and support from an intuitive counselor will clear the path to the answers within.

My ideal client is someone who acknowledges a problem exists, even if they don’t quite know what it is. The source of that issue can be discovered and processed through therapy, leaving the client with effective tools and skills to cope with and manage their emotions.

What sets me apart from other therapists is that I am down to earth. I know therapy is nothing without a strong relationship with your therapist. I have had treatment myself for depression, trauma, and an eating disorder so I understand how it feels to be a client and I know how important it is to give you a safe space to work through your struggles. I am here to listen and assist you in reaching your goals.

I am so glad you are here! You are taking the first courageous step in managing and healing what you are currently experiencing! My 13 years of counseling has been with individuals and families facing extreme challenges and supporting ways in which our physical, emotional, and mental health are interconnected. An individualized and holistic approach to care is highly effective in supporting emotional health and growth, and I will work alongside you to find what works best. Afterall, you are the expert of you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients of all ages and backgrounds dealing with a variety of issues. Prior to starting in my current practice I worked in Community Mental Health and in a hospital setting doing crisis work. Being a wife and mother, I also feel that I have a true understanding of the stresses of everyday life for families.

Times of struggle and pain can also be times of positive growth. When we learn that we have choices in how we respond to the situations in our lives, we can become empowered to choose to respond to stressors in a way that enables us to move forward in an intentional and positive direction. It is my goal to help you discover the choices and strengths you have to cope with the challenges you face and to also discover the gifts that are so often hidden in adversities in order that you might actively choose the future you want.
