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.

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.
