Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed psychologist with 15+ years of experience working with neurodiverse people. I've worked in schools, community-based mental health programs, private practices, and more. I'm licensed in NJ and have PSYPACT authorization, which allows me to provide telepsychology in most states.

My approach to therapy

I use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients accept who they really are, figure out what they really value in life, and commit to action that aligns their deep inner knowing with their daily lives. You aren't alone. You aren't broken. My private practice, Neuroacceptance, helps neurodiverse folks see what's RIGHT (true, real, unmasked) in themselves, which isn't necessarily what "fits in."

What you can expect from me

My sessions are calming and warm. I want to help you drop the mask so you can what's under it. From there, we'll discover what you truly value in this life, accept who you are, and commit yourself to stepping into the future you choose.
