I specialize in working with folks with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent types in NJ and PA, but I also heavily work with anxiety, depression, and issues surrounding activation and assertiveness. So, I'm very action-oriented in my approach and that's because I believe when we see and experience change, it can help build momentum. People are resilient, creative, and adaptive, but sometimes we get stuck. (And when we neurodivergent folks get stuck, we get really stuck!) Let's work to build awareness, strategies, and change!
Additionally, I am an ACS and am taking supervisees for licensing in NJ.

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions, intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand-that even in the direst circumstances positive change is possible.
My philosophy is to provide you with patience; positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions.

My ideal clients are thoughtful adults and couples who have spent years looking capable while quietly feeling unsettled, ashamed, or out of alignment. They come to therapy when identity, sexuality, faith, grief, marriage, or family history starts pressing for honesty. Many have spent years managing what hurts alone, trying not to disappoint others or disrupt the life they built. I help them slow down, listen beneath the surface, understand the patterns keeping them stuck, and move forward with more clarity, courage, integrity, and self-trust.

Therapy is a journey of self-exploration and growth, an opportunity to nurture health and well-being. Every individual has intrinsic value and strengths which, when cultivated in a positive environment, can enhance their ability to learn and grow. I hope to support and encourage my clients as they improve upon their inner and outer worlds.

I'm a relational therapist specializing in grief and loss, depression and anxiety, couples work, and life transitions. I care about creating a space for openness and honesty as you navigate the heavier parts of life. I offer practical skills for healthy communication and emotion regulation, while making sure the work goes deeper than just symptom management. Alongside that, I enjoy helping people explore a more expansive sense of identity, live closer to their values, and bring a sense of vitality into daily life.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
When does a teenager need to see a therapist?
Exploration and existential struggle is a normal part of adolescence, but if your teenager’s emotions or behaviors change so as to disrupt their ability to function academically or socially, you may want to consult a therapist. For example, if a teen’s grades in school drop suddenly or if they begin isolating from their friends and only spending time online, a parent may want to consider therapy.
What can an adolescent therapist help with?
Adolescence is a tumultuous time, and a therapist can help with the challenges that arise, whether they relate to emotions, academics, disruptive behaviors, self-esteem, friendships, family dynamics, sexual or gender identity, or alcohol and drug use. A therapist can help teenagers unpack their emotions, understand their experiences, and develop coping skills.
What therapy types are suitable for teenagers?
Teenagers may especially benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (which identifies unhealthy thought patterns to change emotions and behaviors), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which teaches emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility, and interpersonal therapy, which targets interpersonal difficulties. Additionally, adolescent problems may involve family members; family therapy to improve family dynamics and communication is helpful in those cases.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
