People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9.5 mi away • Madison, NJ


Whether you are in a place of uncertainty and desperation or hoping to reach your utmost potential, I congratulate you for making this step in taking control of your life and facing your challenges. Every individual, whether you are a parent, student, professional, athlete or performer, endures pain or confusion at some point in life. As a professional support to you, I feel privileged to assist you, without judgement, in reclaiming a life of peace and control that you so rightly deserve.


My specialty is "trauma", which is a broad term. Any experience that leaves you feeling unsafe, confused, insecure or unloved can be traumatic. I work with sexual abuse, violent and workplace trauma, natural disasters, infidelity and all the anxieties that may come with trying to cope with these issues.


I use an eclectic approach because no one modality fits every person and every situation. I use psychotherapy techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis and EMDR. I also continually attend conferences to stay current with the best and newest forms of treatments.
