Welcome, and come as you are. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level. Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood, whether in relationships, self-worth, anxiety, trauma, communication, or life satisfaction, are shaped by patterns that developed long before we were aware of them. Often these patterns started as adaptations, ways of coping or relating that once helped us navigate our family or environment and made sense at the time. My role is to help you identify those patterns, understand why they exist, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in the field, and I work with both adults and couples. Throughout my career, I've worked with family preservation services working with parents and children in their home, intensive outpatient (IOP) groups with a diverse population and private practice. I earned my bachelor's degree in behavioral science (with a minor in sociology) from York College of Pennsylvania, and my Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, trauma, self care and prioritizing yourself.
