I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Diagnostic Privilege, a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and an Advanced Certificate in Child & Family Advocacy. Since 2021, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families from a solution-focused, narrative, and systemic lens.

I believe our mental health is deeply shaped by the relationships and support systems around us. In therapy, we’ll work together to build on your strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful progress toward your goals.

You are the expert in your own life, and I see therapy as a collaborative space centered on your needs. Whether you’re facing stress, relationship challenges, family concerns, or life transitions, I’m here to support you with warmth, curiosity, and practical tools for change.

I am a Columbia University trained psychotherapist licensed and practicing in New Jersey and New York. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients in every age group from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds facing a wide variety of challenges. I've had the privilege of serving as a child advocate and crisis hotline operator for an emergency shelter serving survivors of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault. I have experience working in a hospital setting with children and families struggling to cope with chronic illness. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in the private practice setting for the past 6 years. I have a special sensitivity for adolescents and adults who have struggled with a dysfunctional family, codependency, abuse, neglect, self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance abuse/self-medicating, disordered eating, their spiritual/religious beliefs, their sexuality, loss, and grief.

I am an experienced trauma therapist and clinical counselor, trained in EMDR for treating trauma and other concerns. I have worked with clients presenting a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual trauma, relationship turmoil, family issues, and much more.

Do you ever feel stuck in the same patterns, unsure why? Are you facing big life changes- starting out, starting over, or somewhere in between? I work with clients from young adults navigating independence to older adults facing loss, identity shifts, or new purpose. I aim to be a mirror, a soundboard, and a source of steady encouragement. I believe in showing up with transparency and compassion, and I value building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, involvement, and accountability. I am not afraid of tough conversations, so you don't have to fear sharing your truth.

I am currently employed full time as a clinical manager at a community mental health counseling center. I have spent several years practicing in mental health outpatient clinics as well as substance use outpatient clinics as a psychotherapist, group therapist, and supervisor. My passion for the connection and growth created in psychotherapy has motivated my private practice.
