Great to meet you!

Therapy can be a scary and intimidating journey, however with the right therapist for you it can be an amazing, life changing one as well. As a LPC with over a decade of experience I provide services young adults, and adults ages 18 and up. I have experience with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and anger management. I am certified in DBT. I am an ally to all and provide judgement free therapy. Currently accepting clients in NJ and PA.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe that the therapeutic journey is important in discovering who you are at the core. I offer judgment free counseling that works at your pace and utilizes your interests. Geek Therapy is a modality that I often use which incorporates interests such as comics, movies/tv, video games and more into treatment along with DBT, and mindfulness. Sessions with me have as much structure as you need in order to thrive in the therapeutic relationship.

What you can expect from our first session

At the end of sessions you might take away some topics to think about, homework, and hopefully a better understanding of you. I do not provide homework every session, however, sometimes homework helps us continue to grow outside of the session.
