I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.
I believe in providing a safe, supportive space for individuals seeking growth, healing, and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection—I believe real change happens when you feel truly seen and understood.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Westfield, NJ, with a practice that blends individual therapy, couples work, and executive coaching. My approach draws on both clinical training and coaching credentials, which means I can hold space for deep emotional work while also helping clients move toward concrete goals — whether that's healing from anxiety, navigating a relationship, or figuring out what's next in their career or life. I specialize in working with high-achieving women who look put-together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside — the ones juggling career, family, and self-worth, often for the first time asking "what do I actually need?" My style is warm but direct: I won't just nod along, I'll name what I'm noticing and challenge you to look at it. If you're ready to stop just managing and start actually feeling better, I'd love to work together.
I have worked in areas of substance abuse, mental health and with children and families. I am compassionate and assess each client's needs and personal goals.
