I have over a decade's worth of experience assisting diverse populations of children, adolescents, teens in crisis, adults, couples, families and individuals with advanced illnesses in managing and overcoming a wide array of issues including: emotional, physical and sexual abuse; trauma; adjustment difficulties; emotional, behavioral and relational disturbances; substance abuse; and gender/sexuality issues. Through my experience and training I have gained a strong understanding of diverse identities, including gender and sexual identities, as well as sexual and relational issues. Therefore, I am able to provide gender therapy for transgender and gender-expansive individuals from a non-pathological perspective.

I am licensed in the states of NJ, NY, and FL and am currently accepting new clients. I am open to all populations although I primarily work with individuals who identify in the LGBTQIA+ community. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, polyamorous relationships, sexual issues, and trauma. My approach is flexible and down to earth using research proven techniques. I am also a Gender Specialist who provides assistance to transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming adults, adolescents, and their families as well as writing the letters necessary to obtain gender affirming medical care.

My goal is to empower you to identify and overcome personal obstacles that are preventing you from getting the most out of life. I strive to create a warm, empathetic, understanding and, most importantly, collaborative environment. Working together, we will tackle life’s challenges—whether they may be problems of anxiety, self-esteem, or unhealthy patterns of behavior. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, OCD, phobias, eating disorders, and life transitions. I also work with transgender individuals. My background is in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and my hope is to help you live a more meaningful life.

I am a cognitive therapist, trained at the Beck Institute of Cognitive Therapy, with over 25 years of experience in individual and group therapy and clinical supervision. I am effective in engaging individuals, adolescents and couples in learning skills to: strengthen overall coping abilities, improve relationships, achieve valued life goals, and become their own therapists. Clients that I work with praise not only my skills and competence but also my warmth and wisdom.

I am a firm believer that change and recovery are possible for everyone. Therapy and change can be both difficult and challenging experiences. My approach centers around trust and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I am an open-minded and nonjudgmental support who can walk with a person through this journey. I hope to help individuals learn more about themselves and how to live more authentically. I love supporting people in harnessing their own individuality while helping them navigate the world and it's stress. We don't necessarily live in a world that embraces uniqueness, let me assist you in tapping into that magic.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping women navigate the complexities of life.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and severe mental illnesses.

I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work at Rutgers University in 2017. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LCADC) in NJ. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families that are dealing with a wide range of needs that include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, PTSD, anger management, and family/relationship issues. Life is full of obstacles and challenges that may require one to seek additional support during the change, whether good or bad.

Making the decision to start therapy can be one of the most difficult steps in the therapeutic process so first I'd like to commend you. Reaching out for professional support is a direct indication of your strength, your courage and your resilience. Part of my philosophy, as a therapist, has to do with helping folks attain their own personal goals. Whether you are dealing with individual, family or relationship oriented challenges we can work together to attain a vision created by you.

Have you found yourself silenced by the overwhelming stress of life? Do you experience the frustration of not being truly heard by those closest to you? Have you been grappling with the rollercoaster of emotions without clearly understanding why? If you've reached a point where you yearn to regain control over your emotions and seek inner peace and self-love, you're not alone. I'm here to support and guide you on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Have you been feeling stuck with your negative emotions? Do you still feel sadness and emotional pain after years of treatment? Does it seem that no one understands your problems and that you feel “alone”? There is no simple formula to solve unwanted and unresolved emotions. I work with chronic anxiety and trauma, including generational trauma. In my practice, I emphasize the mind and body connection and incorporate Eastern philosophy to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

I have over 12 years experience treating adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I believe therapy should be a collaborative partnership in which we work together to restore healthy functioning. We will identify triggers and destructive behavior patterns that contribute to emotional stress. We can then work together to develop constructive coping skills tailored to your specific clinical needs. My counseling style is one of compassion and support. I strive to create a comfortable environment in which clients feel free to express who they are and how they feel without fear of judgement or rejection.
