Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Highland Park, NJ


With over 25 years as a seasoned clinician, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. I've personalized my approach to provide therapy with sensitivity and care. I aim to meet each individual’s unique needs. As a family therapist in Middlesex County, NJ, I am committed to helping my clients achieve lasting emotional well-being.

Prior to opening my practice I worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. I've been in private practice for over 20 years. I work with patients of all ages, helping them develop healthier relationships and lead more fulfilling lives.

I hold a master's degree in clinical social work from the Wurzweliter School of Social work, NYC. I have also completed several post-graduate training programs, and have earned certifications in various modalities of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems therapy, Clinical Supervision.

I try my utmost to customize my approach to treatment based on the specific needs of my clients.
