I’ve always believed that to help someone heal, you have to understand their whole story—not just what’s troubling them, but the relationships that have shaped them, the experiences they’ve carried, and what their body may be holding.

I work collaboratively with each client to understand what brings them to therapy, identify meaningful goals, and create a path forward that feels both compassionate and practical.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice in New Jersey, where I’ve been working with children, adults, couples and families since 2018. I am also a certified clinical supervisor offering supervision to individuals working toward professional licensure in New Jersey. I provide collaborative, supportive supervision focused on clinical skill development, ethical practice, case conceptualization, and professional growth.

My practice currently focuses on treating young adults and adults with OCD, anxiety, panic, trauma, grief, ADHD and navigating life transitions, with a significant part of my work specializing in OCD and anxiety.

I’m a lifelong learner and have completed extensive postgraduate training in evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, ACT, EFT, DBT, and Attachment-Focused EMDR.

Before private practice, I worked in community mental health and hospice grief counseling. Those experiences continue to shape the way I show up for my clients -with compassion, curiosity and a deep respect for the courage it takes to navigate difficult seasons of life.

My hope is that you leave therapy not only feeling understood but with a greater sense of hope, connection and confidence in your ability to move forward.

My interest in the mind-body connection came from lived experience. For over a decade I was a registered yoga teacher and completed Trauma-Sensitive Yoga training through the Center for Trauma and Embodiment. Early in my career I also worked extensively with children as a Registered Play Therapist. These experiences taught me that healing often happens outside of words and they quietly inform every session I do today. I'm currently finishing a Trauma-Informed Weight Lifting (TIWL) certification, which extends that same work: helping people build a more empowered, less fraught relationship with their bodies and movement. Whatever brings someone to therapy - OCD, trauma, grief, a chapter of life that no longer fits - I meet them where they are. I don't think therapy is just about feeling better. I think it's about becoming more fully yourself.

Your first session is an opportunity to slow down. We'll talk about what's been weighing on you and what you're hoping will feel different. You don't need a clear narrative or prepared answers - just show up. I'll ask questions, listen closely, and together we'll start to understand what you're carrying. You can expect warmth, directness, and a pace that respects yours. Most people leave feeling a sense of relief, not because the hard work is done, but because they've taken a real step and can see there's a way forward.
