I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and let's start working together toward the future you envision. I have over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Lehman College with Summa cum laude honors. I obtained my Master's degree from New York University and my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University.
As a licensed professional counselor I provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, or challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative and built on warmth and trust. Together we will work to identify issues, past and present, with the goal of stability, healing and empowerment. Offering a holistic perspective, I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma and addiction (i.e. substance/alcohol abuse/dependency).
Other areas of practice include working with the LBGTQ+ community and parents and children. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma to infertility, relationships, or simply struggling to manage daily stress or recent change, I can help utilizing a strength-based and client-centered approach with treatment tailored to one’s unique needs
While this process may be challenging at times my hope is that in session you will find a non-judgmental space where your experience will be heard and you will leave feeling seen, supported, and more at ease. I look forward to working with you. Let the journey begin.
My Cherry Hill office, near Philadelphia, is accessible, well ventilated and private for in-person sessions. Online therapy from the privacy of your home is also available. Reach a supportive therapist who is one click away and can be accessed in any weather and in any mood. Do you have feelings of guilt, shame, traumatic memories or intrusive thoughts, family conflict, or have a family member you are worried about? With a variety of proven treatments, I partner with you to enable, empower and restore you to a healthy state of mind and good quality of life. You can expect that our interactions will be dynamic, and useful.
I support all lifestyle and relationship choices that are safe, sane and consensual. All family configurations are welcome. I am culturally competent and will support you in seeking to find peace and resolve internal or family conflict between religious beliefs, family attitudes and your identity or lifestyle choices.
You do not have to live with unbearable emotional pain, worry, intrusive memories and/or depression. Relief is just a phone call, text or email away.
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My priority is to help you achieve wellbeing in your relational, emotional, and mental health. I look forward to connecting with you on your goals for therapy, and how we can achieve them together!

Hi, I'm Haley! I'm an LCSW, Brooklyn born, New Jersey based, who has experience working in community-based mental health, a school setting, in-home counseling and seeing private clients. I am a certified DBT therapist, and have taken some courses for a doula certification.
I previously practiced law for 17 years prior to going back to school to become a therapist after witnessing the 9/11 attacks from my office window. Most recently, I worked in a group psychotherapy practice prior to starting my own private practice where I provided therapy to adolescents (and their families) and adults who struggled with, among other things, depression and anxiety, using a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches in order to tailor treatment to fit each client’s needs.
