Great to meet you!

Hi! I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been working in the field for over 6 years. My experience includes working with adults who have experienced Depression, Racial Trauma, Anxiety, Marital Issues, Self Esteem Issues, Trauma, and Life Stressors. Motivation towards change begins with a collaborative approach to help the client recognize their strengths and to instill hope that change is possible and being happy is what you deserve to be.

My approach to therapy

The journey towards change and healing is not an easy task to begin. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to talk about your feelings or challenges you are experiencing. Therapy is a collaborative process. I want you to be heard, to become a better person, and to provide you with the skills to complete your goals towards living a life with purpose. The goal of therapy is to empower and motivate the individual towards positive and observable change.

What you can expect from me

I am open minded, non judgmental, and creative with my approach to therapy. Therapy can be scary....it can feel like you are entering a space filled with unknowns. My goal is to empower you and teach you the skills to reduce symptoms and to motivate you to see that change is possible.
