I have had the privilege of helping people explore, gain insight, heal, and reflect through their struggles for the past 20 years. I have worked collaboratively and effectively with those individuals addressing their difficulties such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, self-esteem, life transitions and trauma. While working together in a safe space, we will strive to reduce/eliminate negative thoughts and feelings. To achieve this outcome, I utilize a client-centered approach along with a CBT framework.

Strengths are emphasized in therapy as an important asset to treatment success. I also have extensive experience and training related to trauma. Although individuals going through challenging times tend to seek out therapy, caregivers are often overlooked as those who could benefit from supporting themselves. I have been trained in the nurtured heart approach and have provided caregivers with techniques to assist with the individual’s treatment progress.I have worked in a multitude of settings including a hospital-based residential treatment facility for adolescents, a county care management organization, and in a community outpatient therapy setting serving adults and their family members.
Along with a master’s degree in counseling, I have a post master’s certificate in clinical mental health. I am licensed as a psychotherapist in New Jersey. I have also earned my credential as a clinical supervisor (ACS) to provide peer/collegial support.
