I am a clinical social worker and received my Master's from Monmouth University. I have worked the past few years in private practice with individuals, families, and couples. I primarily help individuals learn better ways to communicate, engage in healthy views of themselves, and manage the stressors that may arise, incorporating self-care when needed. I believe the true therapy process happens when not in session when the tools learned are explored, then the change is able to occur. I believe individuals are all able to commit to themself and therapy is the first step.

There are times in our lives when it helps to have some additional support. Working with a therapist can make life's challenges easier to navigate. I have more than 20 years of experience using supporting people through a variety of life changes, building healthy relationships, working through past traumas, managing the stress of school or career, and coping with loss and grief. I typically work with individuals aged 16-60(ish) looking to: * manage everyday stress * explore life and career goals * heal from trauma or grief, including suicide loss * build confidence or get "unstuck" * find affirming therapy for LGBTQIA++ * better understand and support Trans/NB loved ones in their journey * cope when loved ones struggle with addiction or mental health challenges Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. Please book a free, 15-minute consult call so we are both sure our connection is a good fit. If my posted availability doesn't fit your schedule, visit SunriseLCSW.com and send me a message. I accept new clients on a case-by-case basis based on therapy goals and scheduling availability.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Jersey rather than a city like Newark?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Jersey from Jersey City to Paterson! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Jersey.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
