Family therapy and counseling in New Jersey

I’ve very open minded and calm. I try to meet my clients where they are and gain a better understanding of goals they would like to reach or areas of their life they may be struggling to cope with.

I am a mental health counselor who graduated with my MSEd from St. John's University with my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate various theories and view counseling as integrative and eclectic approach to best suit needs of patients. Several which I use include:CBT, REBT, CPT, Behavior Therapy & Mindfulness-based Interventions including: (DBT, MBCT, & MBSR). I also use Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gestalt, Existential, SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy) & others.

I am a licensed therapist who brings a warm, direct, and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel supported, understood, and empowered, while also being gently challenged in ways that promote growth and insight.

My work is grounded in EMDR, attachment theory, CBT-based skills, and solution-focused interventions. I tailor treatment to each individual and family, integrating these approaches to address both present-day concerns and deeper patterns that may be influencing emotions, relationships, and behavior.

I have extensive experience working with children and families and specialize in supporting parents as they build and strengthen secure attachment with their children.

In addition to parenting support, I work with adults experiencing mood disorders, stress, and overwhelm.

Whether clients are working toward healing, personal growth, or simply seeking a space to slow down and be present with their feelings, I strive to offer a supportive environment where all emotions are welcome.

I truly value the privilege of walking alongside clients as they grow, heal, and strengthen their connections.

I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of patient care experience, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma‐related concerns. I completed advanced graduate training in psychopharmacology and trauma‐informed care. I provide warm, collaborative medication management for adults and teens across Washington and New Jersey, through online sessions. My clinical philosophy is collaborative and compassionate.

I am a board certified licensed professional counselor. I've worked in several levels of care with many different populations ranging from substance abuse to anxiety and depression. Additionally, I've done a lot of work with the young adult and adolescent populations.

I genuinely enjoy my work as a psychologist, and feel honored and privileged to be able to help people on their journey toward health, happiness and well-being. I strive to being a good listener, compassionate, respectful and nonjudgmental. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 23 years experience in private practice during which I saw a great diversity of clientele, each owning a variety of mental health issues. I have specialties in substance use issues, mood and anxiety disorders, sport psychology, as well as grief and life transitions. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and I have a special place in my heart for folks who have served our country in the military and for senior citizens.

Seeking support takes courage, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this process. You may be navigating grief, major life transitions, identity exploration, or recovering from experiences of harm. Perhaps you are a young adult stepping into new responsibilities, a student balancing multiple pressures, or someone carrying the weight of anxiety or depression. You may simply want a space where you feel seen, affirmed, validated, and supported. A place to make sense of your experiences and move toward the life you envision.

That vision inspired me to create H.O.O.D. Counseling & Consulting — Heritage, Origin, and Our Dopeness. I founded H.O.O.D on the belief that healing is rooted in culture, lived experiences, and strength, reminding us that even in hardship, growth is possible.

Clients describe me as compassionate, grounding, and direct, fostering an environment of trust and change.
