I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University and over a decade of experience. I help adults of all ages manage anxiety and depression, with a focus on improving their day-to-day well-being. My strong background in hospice care has given me deep expertise in supporting individuals through the grief process, as well as those facing chronic and terminal illness and caregiver burnout.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Building rapport and fostering a sense of comfort is a primary focus in the first session. I will ask questions to get to know more about you and your unique challenges so that we may develop a tailored plan together to address your needs in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My ability to truly understand and resonate with the emotions of my clients is foundational. I want to ensure that my clients feel heard, understood, and validated, fostering a sense of trust and safety.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been incorporating CBT in my practice to help individuals identify and change negative or unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is grounded in the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that altering one can lead to changes in the others.
Grief Therapy
Greif therapy focuses on helping clients cope with the emotional, physical, and psychological impact of their loss. Grief is a complex process and people may experience a range of emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, and even relief, especially where patients and families face chronic or terminal illness. A key part of grief therapy is helping clients make sense of their loss. Meaning-making can help clients reframe their experience, find purpose, and eventually move forward.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT shifts the focus from exploring problems to identifying solutions. I use this treatment approach for individuals seeking quick, practical outcomes or who may not want to dwell on their challenges for extended periods. Together we will uncover your strengths and resources that can be used to achieve your goals.
Strength-Based
Strength-based treatment emphasizes what's "right" instead of focusing on what's "wrong." I use this approach to empower clients to recognize and use their strengths to overcome challenges and to foster a sense of control and self-efficacy, helping clients feel capable of handling their problems.
