Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey. I earned my Master's of Social Work at the University of Washington and have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years. My approach is deeply rooted in empathy and collaboration, drawing from evidence-based therapies tailored to each individual's unique needs. Whether you're navigating life transitions, coping with anxiety or depression, or seeking personal growth, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. My goal is to empower you to tap into your strengths and resources, fostering resilience and facilitating positive change. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and discover the pathways to your well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, you can expect brief introductions then identify issues that you wish to address and a discussion of ways to get there. We will complete a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan together and talk about working toward goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I feel that my greatest strength as a provider is meeting everyone where they are at and working with their strengths to help get them where they want to be in life.
