I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in NJ. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The College of New Jersey. Whether you are here to reprocess trauma or to work through a difficult life transition, I am here to provide a space where you feel supported, valued, and empowered to achieve your goals. I utilize a variety of theoretical orientations including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR therapy to meet the individual needs of each client.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session we will complete an intake in order for me to learn about what brings you to therapy, your treatment history, your expectations, and the goals that you would like to set. I highly value the strength of the therapeutic relationship, so it is my goal to understand who you are as a person as well as the experiences which have shaped you to be who you are today. I am here to learn from you as well because you are the expert on you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In addition to being a therapist, I have been a martial arts instructor and practitioner for 13 years, which has aided me in being able to connect with individuals from a variety of different backgrounds both inside and outside of the therapy room. My clients and colleagues comment that I provide a calming and supportive environment where clients can openly share their concerns, while also identifying their strengths and goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My clinical focus is in treating trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, and other stress-related concerns. I have completed additional training related to meeting the unique needs of service members, veterans, and their family members, including stressors associated with the deployment cycle and reintegration. I also provide confidential and competent support to those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
