I'm a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LCADC), and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist with over 14 years of experience working in mental health and addiction treatment across northern New Jersey. I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected whether navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. I provide a grounded, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their experiences and begin to understand what may be getting in the way of living more fully.

Taking that first step towards therapy can be challenging, which is why I prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment where you can comfortably share your inner thoughts and feelings. My practice specializes in working with adults who identify as people pleasers and are ready to establish healthy boundaries. I'm dedicated to helping you explore your past experiences, identify limiting beliefs, and develop strategies to navigate life with greater peace and ease.

I've been a Social Worker since 2nd grade-always first in line to give a hug, support friends, and share snacks. In college, I took "Intro to Social Work", and I've never looked back. My career officially started in Addictions, and with my post-graduate studies in Structural Family Therapy, I've honed in my therapeutic skills. I've worked in a variety of settings, most recently as a Veterinary Social Worker. Logic, humor, and animals (preferably dogs!) are the cornerstone tools of my work.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, and the many transitions life throws our way. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Psychology, a journey that fuels my commitment to providing evidence-based care while staying at the forefront of clinical research.

My professional background includes supporting adults and young adults through challenges ranging from PTSD and substance use to family dynamics and relationship stressors. I also specialize in supporting clients through gender-specific issues and significant life stages, including postpartum support and major career or personal shifts.

I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a warm, nonjudgmental partnership. At Holistic Counseling Solution, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and comfortable being yourself. Together, we will focus on your unique strengths to foster the meaningful, lasting change you are looking for.

I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and over 30 years of experience in Mental Health Treatment. I work with adults who are struggling with a variety of issues including stress, self esteem, family conflicts and life changes such as divorce or loss or change in jobs. I specialize in working with elderly around issues of health, retirement and loss.

I believe healing begins in a space where you feel truly heard. I offer a warm, supportive environment where you can explore your inner thoughts and emotions completely free of judgment. Maybe your mind won’t slow down. Maybe you’ve lost motivation, feel disconnected from people you love, or wonder if life will ever feel easier again. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

My experience includes working in inpatient behavioral health, where I’ve helped individuals navigate some of life’s most difficult emotional crises. Whether you’re facing a recent challenge or have been struggling for years, my goal is to help you feel supported while equipping you with practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.
