Great to meet you!

I am a clinically trained psychotherapist practicing in NJ, NY, MA, and PA. I work with individuals, couples, and families across all ages—from children and teens to college students and busy professionals. I also have experience supporting married couples facing marital challenges.

My approach to therapy

Additionally, I help clients manage unresolved grief and trauma so they can heal and move forward. I believe that unprocessed trauma often makes it difficult to thrive in other areas of life. Using evidence-based practices (IFS, CBT, DBT) I support clients with navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, illness, relationships and building boundaries.

What you can expect from me

During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. While my style is warm and compassionate, I will also challenge you to gain insight and recognize unhelpful thinking patterns. Together, we’ll develop personalized coping strategies that align with your symptoms and values.
