Life can take us through twists and turns. On the outside things may seem fine, but on the inside, you are feeling incredibly overwhelmed. You may feel confused, misunderstood, and unsure of who you are becoming. You may have difficulty controlling negative thoughts or quieting your mind. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, or interpersonal challenges, counseling can be an incredible outlet. I provide individual counseling for adolescents and adults to enhance insight on personal struggle, develop effective coping skills, and empower my clients to face each day with confidence.


During my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my work in various settings has allowed me to help adolescents in middle and high school as well as adults in private practice. I have experience working with individuals struggling with varying degrees of symptoms. In practice, I use various treatment modalities tailored to each individual client.


Making the decision to commit to counseling can be difficult, therefore I applaud you for making the first step towards change. If you are looking for a therapist who has a genuine passion for guiding others, I am looking forward to working with you! Make sure to check out my website and contact me with any questions.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Lawrence Township, NJ


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.
