Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New Jersey covered by Cigna

Life can look really put together on the outside while feeling very different on the inside.

Maybe you're the person everyone thinks has it all together. You're responsible, dependable, and always showing up for others. But behind the scenes, your accomplishments often come with overthinking, guilt, people pleasing, and the constant feeling that you're not doing enough.

I believe life isn't only about what you do with it but also about who you would like to become. I work with adolescents and adults who want to better understand themselves, quiet their inner critic, and build more self-compassion as they navigate life's transitions, challenges, and growing independence.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and have experience working across a variety of settings, including outpatient counseling, community work, and crisis intervention.

If you are ready to set and achieve your personal goals, I am here to walk alongside you. I will provide you with a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions and memories.

I will challenge the way you think, help you establish coping skills, teach you effective communication, and ultimately be the best version of yourself!
