Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in New Jersey

I am a dually licensed LCSW and LCADC, as well as a Certified Clinical Supervisor supporting other counselors in their professional growth. I earned my MSW from Rutgers University in 2013 and have extensive experience working with both mental health and substance use concerns.

1. I have been in the field for 30 years.
2. I have most recently been working with children and families.
3. I am licensed as a social worker and substance abuse counselor.
4. I use Cogntive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
5. I am a good listener.

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.

Are you ready to feel better, be heard, and shine like the sun? It's time to get unstuck! If so, even if you are not sure how that's possible, I am here to let you be you and help you to grow. I have had the beautiful privilege for over 10 years of supporting individuals, families, couples, and teens live a more fulfilling, as well as peaceful, life. All topics are welcomed and a more beautiful life might be closer than you think. A free 15 minute phone call is welcomed.

I offer H.O.P.E. to everyone that I work with: Honesty, Openness, Patience, & Empathy.

From day one my goal is to help you feel supported and cared about. I am here to give you a voice and use your session the way you wish. There is no right or wrong.

I offer a pressure-free zone and help you to explore options in a neutral way.

Congratulations on taking the first step to address your mental health . With years of experience in the mental health field I can help you gain insight for lasting change.

My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.
