I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Felician University. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I work with clients navigating relationship issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, aging, phase-of-life transitions, career aspirations and changes, and parental challenges. In my therapy sessions, I create a safe and nurturing environment where every individual is welcome and valued. I understand that seeking support is a personal and sometimes vulnerable experience, so I prioritize warmth, respect, and openness. My approach is rooted in compassion, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they explore their thoughts and emotions. No matter their background or experiences, they can trust that therapy will be a space of acceptance, understanding, and growth.

I have a strong personal connection to nature, which I believe can be a powerful tool for healing. I enjoy spending time outdoors, camping, hiking, surfing, and even farming—which allows me to maintain a sense of balance and peace.
