Great to meet you!

I am a compassionate LCSW with over 17 years of experience providing individual, group, couples, and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work degree, both from Rutgers University.

I specialize in working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief and loss. I am a certified Grief Recovery Specialist and have focused much of my post masters learning on grief and loss.

I have an eclectic approach to therapy, valuing collaboration with clients to help them achieve their goals and be their best selves.

My approach to therapy

I have an eclectic approach to therapy, valuing collaboration with clients to help them achieve their goals and be their best selves. I believe everyone's life experience is unique and therefore you deserve a unique and tailored approach in therapy. I view the therapeutic process as a partnership that cannot exist without trust, patience, and empathy. I want you to truly feel heard, seen, and understood so that we can work together to meet the goals that you want to achieve. I aim to create a safe space to openly explore how you are feeling and what changes you want to see in your life, ultimately empowering you to take the steps to manifest that change into reality.

What you can expect from me

In our first session my goal is to get to know you and learn what your therapeutic goals are. I want to begin to hear your story and provide a safe space to discuss what brought you to therapy at this time. From there, I aim to partner with you to begin the therapeutic journey together to help you achieve the outcomes you are looking for.
