If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, your emotions, or the life you want to live, you’re not alone. Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or repeating patterns you’re ready to break. You want to feel more grounded, experience meaningful change, and feel empowered in your everyday life. You’re not just looking to survive, you’re ready to grow, to heal, and to thrive with greater self-awareness and emotional freedom. I’m here to support you in that journey. I work at Mountains therapy, the Best Therapist in Montclair Award Winner - Best of Montclair 2024.
I help adults process trauma, manage symptoms and reconnect with themselves through a person-centered, trauma-informed approach. Using therapies like IFS, CBT, and DBT, I guide clients in identifying emotional patterns, building coping strategies, and creating positive, lasting change. Together, we work to transform pain into empowerment.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to start healing, honestly, most of us don’t. If life feels a little heavier than it should or you’re ready to understand yourself on a deeper level, I’m here to help you sort through it with curiosity, kindness, and a few deep breaths along the way. When you’re ready, I’d be happy to work with you.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
