Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my masters in social work from Kean University. I work with teenagers and adults who are motivated to make positive changes in their everyday life. I work with a wide range of mental health challenges such as life transitions, substance use and addiction, anxiety, or depression. This could be someone who feels like they don't fit into a specific place in this world, feels lost, struggling to find their identity in their teenage years, or has fear/anxiety presenting.
