Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Masters of Social Work from Fordham University and my Doctorate of Social Work from Rutgers University with a focus on first responder trauma. I have worked in the field for over ten years and have experience working with individuals across the lifespan. My specialty is trauma-focused therapy, which helps to resolve prior and current experiences. I also enjoy working with adults feeling depressed and anxious.

My approach to therapy

I let the client lead our sessions together so they always feel in control and empowered. I also believe in working together so clients can learn skills so that when the session is over for the week, what we work on can be applied in real-life scenario or moments when feelings and reactions can be most difficult to cope with. be applied in real-life scenarios or moments when feelings and reactions can be most difficult

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave our sessions with an understanding of different symptoms they may be experiencing, coping skills to help them address any struggles or difficulties they may face, and overall increased quality of life when it was previously impacted by mental health-related challenges
