I wanted to become a psychotherapist since I was 9 years old, after reading an article written by a psychologist about fear. I got my BA in Psychology from Iona College and my master's from Yeshiva University. I began to provide psychotherapy after the aftermath of 9/11. I have provided psychotherapy at a hospital, schools, in-home, and at an outpatient clinic.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing and growth and am dedicated to creating a collaborative and empathetic environment. I have been a licensed NJ therapist for 3 years, working with individuals of various ages, cultures, and points of view. I especially enjoy working with those in transitional periods of life - preteen and adolescents, young adults/college students, and adults navigating a new role or challenge for the first time.

My journey of self-discovery has led me here and now. As most people do, we have hopes, dreams, and plans for our lives and aim for fulfillment. We do not always anticipate some of the obstacles that suddenly require a helping hand, a steppingstone, or a bridge. If you are currently experiencing any such challenge in your life, please reach out for help and support. I can provide counseling for individuals and the entire family. If you or your family is being impacted by addiction, relationship challenges, daily life stressors and disruptions and mental health concerns including depression and anxiety, your time might be now to receive some help.

I am skillful in helping families target the core issues that they are working through, whether driven by addiction or underlying mental health or dynamic factors. I employ strength based, cognitive behavioral techniques and a range of other modalities to achieve outlined goals. My role would be to listen, support, guide and to be transparent at all times.

Fear often holds us back from making a change or accepting help. Facing my fears has carved this amazing opportunity for me to help you. My years in the field has deepened my compassion for helping others of different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am inspired by those I helped on their journey and would love to do the same for you.

As a licensed professional counselor I provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, or challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative and built on warmth and trust. Together we will work to identify issues, past and present, with the goal of stability, healing and empowerment. Offering a holistic perspective, I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma and addiction (i.e. substance/alcohol abuse/dependency).

Other areas of practice include working with the LBGTQ+ community and parents and children. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma to infertility, relationships, or simply struggling to manage daily stress or recent change, I can help utilizing a strength-based and client-centered approach with treatment tailored to one’s unique needs

While this process may be challenging at times my hope is that in session you will find a non-judgmental space where your experience will be heard and you will leave feeling seen, supported, and more at ease. I look forward to working with you. Let the journey begin.
