Great to meet you!

I carry a degree of Master of Arts in counseling. I am a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor who has worked with co-occuring [mental health and addictions}client's for 25 years in inpatient and outpatient settings. I am board certified as a professional counselor by the American Psychotherapy Association. I have worked in a private psychotherapy practice in Morristown, NJ since 2013.

My approach to therapy

I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy that will work towards understanding and modifying unhealthy core beliefs, thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused therapy that stresses the skills client's already have to find solutions to problems.

What you can expect from me

I see each client with unconditional regard and a non-judgmental attitude. My style is conversational, interactive and reality based. I provide therapy to adults in a safe and supportive environment so they can make healthier life choices.
