I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned both my BASW and MSW from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, where I received comprehensive training grounded in evidence-based practice, cultural humility, and ethical clinical care. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have developed a strong foundation in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of behavioral and mental health concerns.

My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, working with individuals experiencing anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and trauma-related symptoms. I have extensive experience supporting clients with complex emotional and behavioral needs, helping them develop practical coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and navigate difficult life experiences.

Although a significant portion of my clinical work has focused on providing individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, I also have substantial experience facilitating therapeutic work with families and couples. In these settings, I emphasize communication, emotional safety, and collaborative problem-solving to strengthen relational dynamics and promote healthier patterns of interaction.

Across all treatment modalities, I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive environment that honors each client's unique background, strengths, and therapeutic goals.

At Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of Southern New Jersey, we specialize in psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults, and we've spent decades doing this work at every level — from a child struggling to focus in school, to complex cases involving severe autism, suicidal behavior, substance use, and everything in between. We don't cherry-pick the easy cases. We show up for the hard ones.

What makes us different: We're not content to offer what every other practice offers. We are constantly evolving — because psychiatry is evolving — and we believe our patients deserve access to the most advanced, effective tools available anywhere.

Do you feel like your brain is constantly running on overdrive? Maybe you’re navigating the frustrating cycle of procrastination, intense anxiety about falling behind, and the sudden rage or emotional outbursts that follow. You might feel misunderstood, labeled "lazy" or "difficult," when in reality, you are holding it together with incredible effort. If you are tired of the anxiety-depression loop, you are in the right place. I help adolescents and adults move from feeling overwhelmed and reactive to empowered and focused.
