With nearly 20 years' experience in the mental health field, I have a wealth of experience treating adults and children through a wide host of challenges. Whether your distress has been long lasting or caused by a recent event, we will work together to identify, understand, and overcome what is holding you back from your desired life experience. The most important factor in a successful therapy outcome is the client/therapist relationship. I believe you will find me to be a welcoming, knowledgeable, light hearted, and down to earth.

AIM Wellness provides therapy, medication management, injection administration, and case management. Our clinical team works with individuals with a wide array of mental health diagnosis. The team specializes in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, psychosis, personality disorders, among other disorders, and co-occurring medical illnesses as well. Our clinical team works together, along with the client to create individualized treatment plans.

For me, there is no ideal client. To some extent, everyone is on a spectrum of depression and anxiety, and I seek to work with clients who need assistance becoming oriented toward improvement. I have personal and professional experience and understand how difficult it is to find someone patient enough to grow alongside a client through the therapeutic process. I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

Asking for help is not easy. It takes an immense amount of courage to step into a stranger's office and share your story with them. As a therapist, earning my client's trust and working with them to find solutions that can improve their life is a great honor. I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a range of issues including sexual addiction, couples and family conflict, developmental disabilities, codependency, anxiety, and depression.

My ideal client presents depressive symptoms related to trauma & grief. They express that they want to process unresolved childhood issues. They express that the issues have prevented close relationships with their adult children. They want forgiveness and help in creating better ties. The goal may be to explore & resolve issues related to traumatic events and improve overall mood. Interventions may include sharing details of the event and how it has affected their relationships, using positive self-talk, developing positive coping skills, and identifying effective strategies to communicate thoughts and feelings.

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.

When things are not working out that is when people look for a website like this one. I provide treatment for a variety of mental health issues specializing in anxiety, depression, abuse, abuser intervention and low self-esteem. I believe that everyone has an innate ability to heal. I customize my approach on an individual basis emphasizing an individuals strengths. My view on therapy is that it is a partnership building on the strengths and values or the client to foster growth and wellness.

You can be happy and healthy! I believe there is power and potential in all of us for healing and growth. Therapy can be hard work and it can also be a shelter in the storm. Together we will work through old patterns, shame, trauma, fear, insecurities, etc.. Through deepening self-awareness, compassion and acceptance, you will be able to take better care of yourself and others, set heathy boundaries, and have deeper relationships. We will work to accept and let go of what holds you back so you can live more authentically and make the most of this life. Your story has indeed shaped you but you get to decide how the rest of it goes.

Are your relationships in need of an upgrade? Is it challenging for you not to think about yesterday or worry about tomorrow? Are you ready to untangle your problems and find greater enjoyment in life? I've helped thousands of individuals, couples and families create stronger, more resilient relationships. My trauma informed approach is guided by mindfulness and grounded in the belief that we each have all of the internal resources needed to improve our lives and relationships.
