I am a very laid-back therapist. I value the therapeutic relationship we build. I view our experience as a travel we go on together to help remove obstacles leading to your chosen goals. This is also your safe place to talk about things you may not feel comfortable talking to with people in your day-to-day life. My approach is to provide a nonjudgmental safe space.
I strive to create a space that is comfortable, accepting and lighthearted at times. I enjoy creating a therapeutic relationship that involves a direct approach while also being welcoming and open-minded.
I was an educator for almost 14 years when I began my training in clinical mental health. I initially worked with teens and families in intensive in-home therapy. I transitioned to outpatient where I worked with women and men who had histories of abuse. My training and experience have been predominantly in trauma and grief. I have worked with individuals who suffer from mood disorders as well as personality disorders, particularly those with complex traumas and abuse in their histories.

Welcome! It takes great courage to connect with a new therapist. I welcome you to this experience. As a psychologist and a registered nurse (ret) I have helped with many forms of difficulty. In practice for over 3 decades, I have learned what works and what doesn't. I match your style and strengths with the change you desire. I have been fortunate to study with educational leaders. My experiences in medical, psychiatric and emergency settings taught me a wide range of interventions that can be helpful.

If we’re not the right fit, we will always help guide you to someone who is.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Linwood starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists, counselors, and psychologists all provide talk therapy, but their training and credentials vary. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship concerns, or life transitions, a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LPC, or LMFT) is often a strong fit. If you may need medication management for a condition like ADHD or depression, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
Linwood and the surrounding Atlantic County area — including Egg Harbor Township, Northfield, Somers Point, and Absecon — have a range of licensed mental health providers. When comparing options, consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, their therapeutic approach (such as CBT or DBT), whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and help you decide if they're a good match before you book.
