Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a NJ Certified Trauma Therapist. I specialize in working with teens, young adults and women experiencing depression, anxiety and stress related to an evolving identity, family and relationship issues, motherhood and body acceptance.

My approach to therapy

My approach is person-centered, strengths based and integrative for the mind, body and spirit. My goal is to help you build awareness and gain insight to better manage emotions, thoughts, and negative self-talk so that you can improve your quality of your life.

I am passionate about supporting my clients in maintaining healthy boundaries, nurturing self compassion and confidence and overcoming past trauma. I want to help you live a more balanced life. It can be difficult reaching out for help and I am honored to be a part of your healing journey.
