Great to meet you!

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed and do not know where to turn next? I strive to make the therapy space as comfortable as possible-- a space free of judgment, where you feel heard.

I have provided counseling in a correctional facility, an outpatient psychiatric setting, and to elementary and middle school students in a school setting.

I received my Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University and I also have a Masters in Education from The College of New Jersey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Internal Family Systems.

I am also trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA approved trainer and consultant.

What you can expect from our first session

My hope is that you feel some relief from your symptoms (whatever they may be) with each session.

Open-minded
Warm
Inquisitive
