I work with adolescents and adults, employing a cognitively based, brief therapy approach in a supportive and compassionate environment. I believe that we all possess inner strengths and untapped potential. While we cannot change the circumstances of the past, we can develop new perspectives and learn to accept them without regret. Together, we can learn to find comfort in what was once uncomfortable. We will then collaborate to build new techniques that enable you to grow resilient, find strength, and lead a life worth celebrating.
Hello! I'm a licensed professional counselor who's dedicated the past 10+ years to supporting individuals on their journey towards personal growth and emotional well-being. I received my Masters in Counseling from Kean University in NJ. My practice has focused on working with children, teens, adults and seniors. My areas of specialization are Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and many other general mental health concerns.
As a clinician with 25 years of experience, I support, collaborate with and provide therapy to therapists and other health professionals. I enjoy working with young professionals, moms, and creative types. When I'm not working, I enjoy yoga, meditation and music.
I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with people who feel lost—whether that shows up as uncertainty, disconnection, chaos, or a sense of not quite fitting in your own life. Together, we create space to slow down, make sense of and manage challenges in your life whether that’s in men’s issues (such as communication, emotional expression, identity, relationship & societal expectations), women’s issues (such as people-pleasing, boundaries, self-worth, life transitions, expectations from others), relationships, parenting, career changes, and patterns of self-defeating choices. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on building self-acceptance, clarity, and trust in yourself as you find your way forward.
I have experience working with adults and teens navigating mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, as well as substance use and recovery. I use evidence-based approaches to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe in humor and humanity in the therapy space as our therapeutic relationship is essential to making things work!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been in the field since 2018. While pursuing my Masters degree at Georgian Court, I worked in community mental health doing in home visits. Since then, I’ve worked with those in active addiction and early sobriety, higher levels of care such as IOPs and PHPs, up until now being in private practice.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakewood
Finding the right therapist in Lakewood, NJ starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Lakewood is home to a large and diverse community in Ocean County, and the demand for mental health care continues to increase. Whether you prefer to meet with a provider in person near the Route 9 corridor or connect from home through a virtual session, having flexible options can make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before committing.
Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lakewood who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
