Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in New Jersey

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing the most effective treatment approaches to help my clients achieve their life goals and be the best that they can be. Over the past twenty years, I have been helping children, teens and adults face and overcome problems that may prevent them from reaching their fullest potential. These difficulties may include ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma or adjustment problems related to life events such as a death or divorce. I will help you determine what may be underlying the problem and develop an effective treatment plan to address the issues and achieve your goals.

Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

You may look successful on the outside, yet still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. Trauma can shape how you see yourself, trust others, and respond to stress—and healing is possible. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating the effects of childhood trauma, relationship wounds, abuse, violence, anxiety, emotional shutdown, and major life transitions. My background in emergency services, victim advocacy, and legal system collaboration allows me to support clients facing complex trauma, safety concerns, and high-stress situations with compassion, expertise, and a focus on empowerment.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will validate your feelings and gently (or not so gently) challenge your patterns, we might be a great fit. I bring warmth, honesty, humor, and accountability into the therapy room. I show up as a real human who will laugh with you, sit in the hard stuff, and call things out when they need to be called out.
