Licensed in NJ and PA, I provide in-person and virtual care at my offices in Ewing, Mercer County, and Newtown, Bucks County. With over 20 years of clinical experience in mental health and substance abuse, I offer a welcoming, LGBTQ+ inclusive space for my patients. I specialize in treating addiction, relationship challenges, young adult life transitions, and mood and/or anxiety disorders.

My path to psychotherapy is anything but conventional. I began my career as a scientist and then a high school science teacher, where a deep curiosity about the world took root. But it was the human connection, the conversations, the stories, that truly lit me up. That led me to Columbia University, where I earned my Master's in Social Work and gained invaluable clinical experience at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After graduation, I worked in hospice care, walking alongside families through some of life's most profound and challenging moments, an experience that gave me a deep respect for human resilience and the power of being truly heard. After welcoming my three children, I took everything I had learned and channelled it into opening my own private practice. Today, that is where my heart lives. I am endlessly inspired by the people I get to meet, the life stories they share, and the privilege of watching them grow. Whatever has brought you here, I would love to hear your story too.

Hello there! Are you navigating a major life transition and feeling like your mind, body, and spirit are all trying to catch up? Maybe you’re in the thick of perimenopause, a divorce, a new job—or all three at once. Or maybe you're experiencing burn out? You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel tired, anxious, and are craving a deeper healing than just a simple prescription.

My practice is designed for adult women and children in New Jersey. I love to work with people who are ready to feel heard, supported, and treated as a whole person; promoting care that sees the full person, not just the symptoms.

I am passionate about working with people who are open to getting to know themselves better, or getting to know themselves at all, or again! If you’ve been dismissed or overlooked before, I want you to know that this space is different. Here, your process matters. Your story matters. And together, we’ll move toward something more grounded, more peaceful, and more you. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again or meet yourself for the first time, reach out—I’d love to support you!

I am compassionate, warm, patient and easy to talk to. I work with empathy and listen actively to your concerns. Blood works are drawn on site at the office.
