Hi there! I’m an LCSW in VA with my MSW from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and my BFA from The College of New Jersey.

My practice primarily focuses on young adults and early-middle adults who are seeking to navigate through anxiety, depression, stress, various relationship/interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. While I have experience in adolescent and family systems, my current work is centered on supporting adults as they make meaningful changes in their lives. I have a collaborative and real-world approach to therapy. I think a lot about therapeutic fit; I truly believe the right therapist for the right person actually makes a huge difference.

My style is warm, flexible, and rooted in evidence-based interventions. I work best with people who are open-minded to the process and willing to explore what change may look and feel like. It is okay if you don’t know where to start yet.

Outside of work, I’m creative, adventurous, animal-loving, and enjoy being in the present.
