I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Rutgers University (MSW). With 18 years of experience as a therapist, my belief is that we are born with the ability to self-generate the changes we might be seeking at any point in one's life-span.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my approach is centered on building a collaborative partnership with clients, actively listening to their needs and concerns to develop a tailored plan that empowers them to achieve their goals. My style is warm, supportive, and detailed assessment to reach a correct diagnosis in treating patients. .

I have over 10 years of experience in a wide variety of clinical settings since obtaining my Master's degree and becoming a licensed clinician. I use a client centered approach that draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, and a trauma-informed approach. I have worked with people struggling with addictions, a wide variety of anxiety related difficulties, ADHD, depression, and some bodily focused repetitive behaviors. I also have experience working with couples to address relationship needs.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Colorado, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont, and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC).

My background includes work in outpatient, inpatient, IIC, detox, and private practice settings, serving as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and team leader. I work with both voluntary and court-ordered clients and bring a compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental approach that balances support with accountability.

We all get overwhelmed and new challenges can emerge, coping skills cease working, and new skills need developing. Therapy can help light the way. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, or other concerns, therapy can provide you with the tools to cope and thrive. I want to be there to support you during this process.

Successful therapy starts with the formation of the counselor-client bond. Therapy is a relationship where a private, supportive, and non-judgmental alliance is fostered. Psychic injuries, biological dispositions, familial and life experiences shape our present. The past affects how we relate to others and why we carry wounds into the present. New and old life events can lead to self-destructive coping. Therapy can equip you with strategies to manage anxiety, improve relationships, and feel more in control of your life. Symptoms and diagnosis need not define us. We can learn to appreciate life’s joy and successes.

I believe in providing a safe, supportive space for individuals seeking growth, healing, and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection—I believe real change happens when you feel truly seen and understood. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, or major life transitions, we’ll work together to help you build the tools and confidence to move forward.
