Great to meet you!

I hold a New Jersey license in Marriage and Family Therapy. My masters degree in Holistic Health allows me to draw on energy medicine and spiritual topics, facilitating my unique, whole-person therapeutic philosophy. Additionally, I received training and supervision in Eating Disorders with Kelly Stolberg, LCSW.

My approach to therapy

I’m inquisitive, direct, and like to use humor when appropriate. I have a tremendous amount of compassion and I care deeply about my clients.

What you can expect from me

For individuals, I like to meet weekly to build / establish rapport, but then depending on the situation transition to bi-weekly, then monthly. Depending on the needs of the client, I like to use various tools / techniques pertaining to their concerns. Having the background of being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I do like to complete an in-depth genogram with all of my clients at some point during the therapeutic relationship. With couples, I like to meet altogether for the intake, then meet with each individual separately at least one time before resuming couples sessions. This allows each individual the opportunity to share anything relevant to their history or concern with their current situation without their partner present.
