You can do hard things... that’s what lead you here! Welcome. I hope you feel proud of ‘showing up’ today. We all want and deserve to feel seen; yet it is often uncomfortable for us to invite in vulnerability and allow others to see us, genuinely and authentically as we are. Sometimes, it’s even hard for us to see and accept ourselves. I believe strong therapeutic alliances and environments foster safe and brave space to explore existential questions, sit with thoughts and feelings, challenge internalized messages, societal norms, expectations and systems that cause us to feel boxed in.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey practicing since 2007. Taking care of your mental health is essential to your overall health and well-being. It takes courage to ask for help when you need it, and seeking therapy is a sign of strength. My role as a therapist is to guide you in this journey and offer tools that will help you become your own therapist. I only see a limited number of individuals for therapy in order to give each person the attention and flexibility they deserve.

Engaging in therapy is one of the many ways we can care for ourselves. I’ve been a counselor for over 15 years working with clients who seek support around a variety of issues impacting emotional well-being and daily living. I offer telehealth counseling to adult clients who seek to address issues related to anxiety, depression, adjustment, substance use, relationships, and/or overall wellness.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at! Every person is resilient. I intend our collaboration to remind you of your strengths, provide you tools to weather the storms of life, and a safe space to gain insight into your truest self. I come to social work from a social justice background and recognize that trauma and oppression are often intertwined. Acknowledging systemic issues is a vital part of my practice, particularly for youth and families directly impacted by it. Teaching you to advocate successfully on your own behalf, whether it be in your relationships or larger systems, is also essential.

Stop the unhealthy relationship cycle, find new ways of getting your emotional needs met. I help individuals, who have struggled in their relationships, gain a better understanding of how the cycle of unhealthy relationships began. We explore how to create healthier, more fulfilling, emotional connections in a collaborative, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment.

Do others see you as a woman who has it all together? Inside, are you feeling like you're falling apart? Do feelings of emptiness consume you? For many women suffering with emotional wounds, anxiety, isolation and hopelessness can become a daily part of life. Sometimes managing painful times from the past intrude on their ability to enjoy the present. Sometimes compulsive eating patterns, substance abuse, spending or even relationships seem like the only way to numb the pain. You don't have to face it alone. We can work together to find new solutions for wellness, healing and recovery.

With sensitivity and compassion, I work with clients to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

How you feel is valid, your story matters, and you deserve to be heard. It can be hard to listen to that healthy voice inside of you that desires guidance and support. I want to take a moment to acknowledge your bravery for taking the first step in your journey. It can be challenging to navigate through various transitions during adulthood where social, emotional, biological and psychological changes are vibrant. Therapy can provide you not only support during these times but also education and tools to help you succeed.

I provide supportive empathy in a safe space for treatment that helps healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, and dependence that affects mood, self-worth, self-care, and relationships that perhaps negatively impact your daily life.
