Hello--thanks for stopping by! I am a licensed independent practitioner in New Jersey with over 25 years of professional work experience in multiple behavioral health clinical settings–with over 20 of those years as a psychotherapist. Born and raised in New Jersey, I received my undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, New Brunswick and completed my graduate work at Monmouth University. When I'm not working, I dedicate a great deal of my time within my community. A common theme throughout both my professional and private life is in providing assistance and support to individuals, children and families by meeting them wherever they are, with the hope that I will leave them in a better place from when we initially found each other.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then dive right into what's brought you to me. I will ask a number of questions about you to get a sense of what your everyday life is like so that I can tailor a plan to help work with you to address your concerns.
It is really important to me to create a relationship of trust with my clients within an open, inclusive and safe environment, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step toward seeking a more fulfilling and happier life is a STRENGTH--as it is an important and healthy step toward wellness! I am here for you and will be glad to support you with this process--if you are willing to reach out and ready to do some work, schedule an appointment with me today!
I have been helping clients with a variety of concerns, including but not limited to stress and anxiety, mood disorder-related symptoms, substance abuse and recovery, relationship issues, coping with life changes, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum difficulties, as well as interpersonal and family conflicts.
Integrative
A good clinician uses multiple treatment methodologies as an integrated approach based upon what each client needs.
