I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in the field, and I work with both adults and couples. Throughout my career, I've worked with family preservation services working with parents and children in their home, intensive outpatient (IOP) groups with a diverse population and private practice. I earned my bachelor's degree in behavioral science (with a minor in sociology) from York College of Pennsylvania, and my Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, trauma, self care and prioritizing yourself.


Please note my schedule doesn't always reflect my availability. We can discuss a schedule that works for us during our consultation.
