I have over 25 years of experience as a psychodynamically trained psychologist to assist clients in examining how they come to understand themselves when they are faced with issues in their lives

You should know that I truly see you — not just your symptoms or diagnosis. Many clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck — often after feeling unheard or dismissed by other providers. My goal is to understand the full picture — your goals, challenges, and values — and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other psychiatric concerns.

I combine evidence-based psychiatry with a holistic, personal touch. Care with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and never rushed. I don’t push medications or rely on quick fixes — I work with you to find clarity, balance, and lasting relief through treatment that fits your life.

I have over 30 years experience in the field of mental health. I specialize in trauma, grief and Womens challenges. I am constantly learning new and evidenced based ways to help my clients.

Hello and welcome! I have been assisting clients with navigating some of the most difficult stages of life. I have provided services with clients between the ages of 4 and 96. I specialize in aging, grief/loss and life transitions.

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.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor based in New Jersey, with experience beginning in 2021.

Over the years, I've worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, coping with aging, life transitions, bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identity, and the weight that comes from carrying too much for too long. I work with adults and seniors, and I understand what it feels like to want change but not quite know where to start. My goal is to help you figure that out, one step at a time.

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.
