Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. I received my Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St Louis and have been practicing for 6 years. I enjoy helping people in general and after years of working in public health began working in social work. I have worked with clients struggling with a variety of mental health challenges become the best versions of themselves.

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

With your initial session, plan to talk about yourself, what brings you to therapy, your expectations in therapy and with me as your therapist. We will also have an opportunity to discuss assessments and ways that I can better assess and assist you.

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

Many people say that I'm calm, a great listener in general and not just in my work. I'm compassionate and thoughtful. I understand trauma, depression and anxiety. Some of these issues are lifelong, but can be worked on and managed through the therapeutic relationship.
