As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I believe prioritizing your mental well-being is essential to becoming the best version of yourself. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University and have since gained extensive experience working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns. As a social worker in a psychiatric emergency room, I have the privilege of working with various age groups ranging from age 5 to adulthood. In addition to my emergency room experience, I provide individual and family psychotherapy.

My goal is to provide an empathic, supportive, and therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship while collaboratively addressing your specific needs and developing practical life skills to support positive change, growth, and long-term well-being.

In our first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where they feel heard and respected. We’ll start by getting to know what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to gain from it. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, current challenges, strengths, and any past therapy experiences.

We’ll also review confidentiality, boundaries, and what therapy with me may look like moving forward. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—therapy moves at your pace. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and creating a plan that feels realistic and aligned with your needs. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling supported, understood, and hopeful about the process.
