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.

Psychologist

Virtual • Princeton, NJ


I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than a decade of experience helping teens, adults, and older adults overcome challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, chronic stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, mood disorders, chronic illness, women's mental health issues, and Veterans' mental health. My background includes extensive work in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, private practice, and outpatient behavioral health settings, where I've had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQIA+ community and older adults. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based treatments to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions while developing effective strategies for lasting change. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create realistic goals that help you feel more confident, resilient, and connected to the life you want to live. My treatment style is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs.
