Great to meet you! I am a practicing psychotherapist in New Jersey. I completed a Master's of Clinical Social Work from Rutgers University, and am a credentialed Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've had 14 years of experience in providing counseling for individuals and couples. My professional experience includes work in a variety of mental health & addiction settings; ranging from inpatient psychiatric, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), crisis stabilization, routine outpatient community mental health, and my own private practice with individuals, groups, & couples. I have post-graduate training in trauma-informed treatment, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples), & integrative health coaching. Since beginning my work in private practice, I primarily enjoy focusing my work with adults, ages 18 and older, who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, marriage/relationship problems, and life transitions.

Welcome, I believe mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I’ve been practicing for 20 years, with my main focus of practice being anxiety and life transitions.

You Don’t Have to Navigate Life’s Challenges Alone

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply unsure of what comes next? Life transitions, relationship and family challenges, trauma, and everyday stress can sometimes leave us feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected from ourselves. You don’t have to work through it alone.
