I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, and have been working in the field since 2019. I have experience helping children, teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, attention difficulties, family changes, identity questions, grief, or relationship issues — you are not alone, and healing is possible.
Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and behavioral health care. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience—helping clients feel understood while working together toward meaningful change.
My professional journey has included years of practice across inpatient, community, and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their goals and develop strategies for wellness and resilience.
I believe effective care blends clinical knowledge with empathy, respect, and open communication. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
With over a decade of dedicated experience in the field of substance use disorders (SUD), I have spent the majority of my career specializing in co-occurring mental health and addiction treatment. I am a dual-licensed professional in the state of New Jersey, holding credentials as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT). This unique background allows me to provide comprehensive, integrated care that addresses the complex intersection of substance use and relational or systemic mental health challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Forked River
Searching for therapists in Forked River starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for specific life stages. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from working together.
In a smaller community like Forked River, the number of nearby therapists may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still allowing you to work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical fit.
Therapy in Forked River can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
