Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am the owner of Radical Renewal Counseling LLC. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve spent years feeling misunderstood, dismissed, or like you have to hide parts of yourself just to get through the day. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, neurodivergence (including ADHD and autism), and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. I proudly provide neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, recognizing that many struggles come from living in environments that haven’t always been accepting, supportive, or accommodating.

Whether you’re navigating complex trauma, recovering from substance use, managing overwhelming emotions, questioning your identity, healing from unhealthy relationships, or simply feeling stuck, we will work together to help you build a life that feels more authentic and manageable.

I believe therapy should never feel like you’re being judged or expected to fit into someone else’s mold. Instead, we’ll build on your strengths while developing practical skills to regulate emotions, improve relationships, reduce distress, and create lasting change.

My approach integrates evidence-based therapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed therapy, psychodynamic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and parts work/IFS-informed interventions, tailoring treatment to your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.I am certified in DBT & trained in EMDR through EMDRIA.

My approach to therapy

I have extensive experience helping clients with:

• Complex trauma & PTSD • Childhood trauma • Addiction & recovery • Anxiety & panic • Depression & mood disorders • ADHD & executive functioning challenges • Autism & neurodivergent adults and adolescents • LGBTQIA+ identity, relationships, and life stressors • Emotional regulation • Self-esteem & identity development • Life transitions • Burnout & chronic stress

My practice is a welcoming, affirming space for neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQIA+ clients, and anyone looking for compassionate, collaborative therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy—sometimes the hardest part is simply reaching out.

If you’re looking for a therapist who is genuine, validating, and committed to helping you heal while honoring your identity and lived experience, I’d be happy to connect. I currently provide secure virtual therapy throughout New Jersey and am in-network with most major commercial insurance plans. Self-pay sessions are $100.

Many clients tell me they feel more grounded & understood, they've gained tools to manage difficult emotions, experience fewer intense reactions day-to-day and have greater clarity about their goals & direction. Your pace & comfort matter- every step forward is a gain worth celebrating.
