About me
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey. I have a doctoral degree from the University of Pennsylvania and have been practicing for several years. I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health therapist who is committed to promoting mental wellness and emotional resilience. I work with my clients to develop a personalized treatment plan so they can reach their goals successfully.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, we will spend time covering the basics (verifying all information on file is correct), followed by a conversation surrounding the issue you are experiencing, so that problem-solving can start quickly to get you on your way to healing.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths include helping others through dedication, compassion, respect, and a desire to help my clients achieve the agreed upon goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
In my practice, I help adults experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, substance abuse, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. I emphasize a cognitive-behavioral approach and help my clients connect their thoughts, actions and behaviors so they can develop the coping skills to live a happy and healthy life.

I was very skeptical about therapy, very private person. My first session was very relaxing and I know it's just the beginning but she made me feel relaxed. Looking forward to our next session.
