Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, balance, and self-understanding. I earned my degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and have three years of experience in the field.

I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients across various settings, and I primarily support adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship stressors, and substance use.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are. I tailor my approach to meet you where you are in your journey and support you in moving toward where you want to be. Together, we’ll work to better understand your thoughts, emotions, strengths, and challenges in a way that feels meaningful and empowering.

Building a strong, respectful connection is important to me, and I value open, honest communication in our work together. My goal is to create an environment where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable exploring yourself at your own pace.

My goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself while building practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and balance. Together, we may focus on improving coping skills, managing life stressors, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to be open and honest. At the same time, I value being genuine and collaborative in our work, offering both support and gentle challenges to help you grow. My hope is that you leave each session feeling heard, empowered, and better equipped to handle what comes your way.
