Great to meet you!

With 35 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I offer my clients a steady anchor and a wealth of clinical wisdom. I earned my degrees from New York University and St. Joseph’s University, focusing my career on evidence-based care for diverse populations. I truly love what I do, and I bring a great deal of enthusiasm and authenticity to every session, providing a safe and reliable environment for individuals to achieve their most meaningful goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach is a blend of clinical expertise and real-world problem-solving. I am best positioned to serve those managing Panic Disorder, Anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder. I am particularly passionate about helping clients newly diagnosed with mood disorders create a treatment strategy they can feel confident in. Clients often appreciate my sense of humor and my ability to make the therapeutic process feel human and accessible, especially for those who are hesitant about starting therapy.

What you can expect from me

Expect a space where you can be your "real self." Our first session is a positive therapeutic experience designed to help me understand your unique needs while providing you with immediate hope and direction. I provide a non-judgmental atmosphere where you can express yourself freely. Whether you come prepared with notes or just show up as you are, you will leave our first session knowing you have a dedicated, experienced advocate in your corner.
