Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in NJ with 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families in substance use recovery. I am currently working toward becoming a Certified Clinical Supervisor, with the goal of mentoring the next generation of substance use counselors.

My approach to therapy

My usual approach combines CBT, DBT, and MI. CBT teaches practical ways to manage thoughts and behaviors, DBT strengthens emotional and relationship skills, and MI helps boost motivation. I may also include other approaches and interventions to best support your recovery journey. These tools guide clients toward healthier coping and lasting recovery.

What you can expect from me

I specialize in supporting individuals on their recovery journey by tailoring therapy to meet their needs. My goal is to provide structure, support, and a safe space to navigate your journey towards lasting change. Taking steps toward recovery can feel daunting, and it’s normal to feel uncertain along the way. I provide support and guidance to help you build coping skills, manage challenges, and regain balance. I welcome you to connect with me and take the next step on your recovery journey; I’m here to walk alongside you and help you build lasting change.
