Welcome!
I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical trauma professional with a deep passion for facilitating trauma healing through integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to fit your unique needs and goals.
I've provided individual and group therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including substance use treatment, community mental health, and private practice. My specialties include trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, codependency, anxiety, depression, intimacy and personality disorders.
The essence of my approach is based on the belief that early childhood experiences and relationships are often the primary influences of our unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies, which repeatedly pose as barriers to the freedom and personal growth we are seeking.

I am a dedicated outpatient therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kean University.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Livingston
Searching for therapists in Livingston starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Livingston is a smaller community, so the number of nearby offices may be more limited than in larger parts of New Jersey. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. You may also want to filter by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and the types of concerns each therapist supports.
Therapy in Livingston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, check your insurance coverage for your specific plan and location, and view upfront cost estimates based on your benefits. You can browse therapists in Livingston, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
