I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with children, young adults, and families in educational settings, residential, outpatient and community programs. I specialize in treating children and adolescents, anxiety, depression, familial conflict, and challenges related to school or work performance.

I believe we all have the potential to evolve. My approach uses an integration of techniques: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, Somatic Tracking, meditation, and psychoanalysis/psychotherapy. We all have stored conditioned patterns of behavior that helped us survive but holding onto these patterns may be causing you issues in the present. Our work together will assess these patterns and help recondition new ways of response to allow for more choice, less overwhelm, and wiser relationships.

In my experience as a therapist, I find that many people are looking for someone who will provide a safe space to talk, listen, and support them. My goal is to provide children, preteens/tweens, adolescents/teenagers, adults, and elders, as well as, families and couples with the skills and tools to help them reach their own personal goals. With these skills, you will become a better communicator, develop confidence, and utilize positive responses to daily life problems.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

Change and recovery can be overwhelming sometimes. The heart of my work evolves around positive psychology helping moving you towards where you would like to go. I work with addiction, anxiety, behavioral issue, children/ teens/adults, chronic illness, codependency, depression, gender issues, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, school issues, stress, couple's issues, parenting, communication skills and empty nesters.

I work from a holistic, person centered, trauma informed approach to care to meet clients where they are right now.

Life is a journey. Some days the road is smooth, unobstructed and paved with optimism. Other days the path is rocky, full of twists and turns. Along the way, everyone experiences setbacks and struggles. No two people are alike because we process, experience and react to emotions and events differently. I believe in tailoring my therapy and providing each patient I see with an individualized approach and plan. Whether you are returning to therapy or just starting, know that you are taking a brave and honest first step.

I first want to congratulate you for deciding to take this huge step! Looking for a therapist is not as easy as you would expect it to be. Sometimes the connection is missing or the vibe does not feel right, which often leads to an unsuccessful experience with therapy. Whether you are experiencing grief, or anxiety, or have been feeling in a funk lately, therapy may be the perfect outlet for you to be able to voice these worries and concerns.

The most important thing is to believe we are enough. Enough as human beings in whatever roles we play in each and every stage of our lives. When we feel we are enough, often times, the pain of trauma and anxiety often subsides. It is then we are capable of feeling relief and are able to experience joy. We are gentler towards ourselves and our loved ones. Facing adversity, mental illness, trauma, and family dysfunction may lead you to feel alone and lost. My belief is that every individual has the ability with the right tools, a supportive guide, and a willingness to improve on their goals; to create a better life for themselves.

I have worked with individuals and families of all ages who have struggled to overcome depression, anxiety, anger issues, marital conflict, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Bachelor's Degree from Rowan University in Psychology and a Master's Degree from Rutgers University in Clinical Social Work. I take a modern approach to talk therapy and believe that most problems can be worked through by talking it out together.

I believe that a client that comes to session in good faith to genuinely seek treatment is most likely to achieve their therapeutic goals. Any client who takes that first step to therapy is showing great courage. Once in therapy, simply being themselves and being open to the process will lead to exploration, goal setting and positive change leading to a happier, healthier way of life.

At some point, everyone faces difficulty that can impact their quality of life. As a clinician, I value the uniqueness of each individual, couple, or family member and offer a safe and comfortable space for you to examine yourself, your life and relationships without judgment - guiding you to understand more clearly who you are, what you’re capable of, and what you want out of life. In therapy, each conversation offers an opportunity to understand yourself while creating a sense of well-being - ultimately leaving you with a greater sense of peace, contentment, and a capacity for joy in relationships with yourself and others.
