I am Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Western New Mexico University. I have worked in various treatment settings, including detox, inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and private practice. I have extensive experience treating adult clients from diverse backgrounds who are impacted by addiction and co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and general life stressors or transitions. I incorporate interventions from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Relapse Prevention Therapy. I utilize a person-centered approach, prioritizing a therapeutic relationship built on trust, non-judgment, compassion, and understanding. I focus on working collaboratively with clients to promote hope and empowerment and achieve personal growth.

Therapist

I am a highly seasoned clinician with years of experience in both mental health care and substance use services. My professional journey began in the substance use field, sand a deep understanding of the co-occurring mental health challenges many individuals face.

My clinical experience includes providing outpatient individual therapy and supporting individuals experiencing acute psychosis in inpatient psychiatric settings. After gaining many years of clinical experience, I expanded into leadership roles, providing clinical supervision and program oversight while managing co-occurring programs across New Jersey. I am also passionate about building the next generation of clinicians and serve part-time as an adjunct professor. I earned my degrees from Rutgers University School of Social Work and Honors College, where I was a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society and graduated summa cum laude.

I bring a diverse background and extensive knowledge to my clinical practice, having worked across a wide range of mental health and substance use settings. Over the years, I have gained experience with many different diagnoses, from anxiety and depression to trauma and co-occurring disorders. My expertise spans multiple evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFT, trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychoanalytic techniques. This breadth allows me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, ensuring a personalized, effective, and compassionate approach to care.
