I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in holistic health and energy healing. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Penn State University and my Master of Social Work from Marywood University. I am also a certified healing touch practitioner and an integrative nutrition health coach and am currently working on my Doctor of Philosophy in Holistic Medicine & Healing Nutrition from the University of Natural Health. Being a holistic practitioner means that I takes a whole-body approach to help improve health and wellness through the body, mind, and soul. I have experience working with clients undergoing various mental health difficulties, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, ADHD, trauma and stress-related issues.

Hello! I am a passionate therapist who uses an eclectic mix of techniques tailored to fit each individual's needs. I am well-versed in working with children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with a range of life stressors and transitions.

I welcome you to begin your journey in the comfort of a room with someone who can empathize, advocate, and encourage self-empowerment.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. I received my Masters from Rutgers University and have been practicing for about 5 years. I have experience in helping individuals learn positive coping skills and strategies that can help to improve their mental and emotional well-being. I work with my clients on identifying self-care activities and positive coping skills, in addition to understanding their strengths and weaknesses. I also work with my clients on developing and implementing skills that will help them to set boundaries and limits and to problem solve and set goals. These learned skills will ultimately help my clients to navigate relationships and situations in their lives that are the source of their stressors. My overall goal is to help my clients overcome the stressors, problems, and trauma that overwhelm them, so they can thrive and live their best lives.

What do you see when you look into the mirror? If you see anything other than exactly who you are or who you want to be, accepting all your flaws for the uniqueness they are meant to be, and find that this is getting in the way of living your best life, you are in the right place. I am a dually licensed Professional Counselor and Drug & Alcohol Counselor with certifications in trauma training. My approach to counseling is to provide the space for you to explore who you are while providing guidance in your journey. This allows you to find the core issues that led to any unhappiness or struggles holding back authentic living. I look for maladaptive patterns (such as addiction, unhealthy relationships, overeating, self-sabotage, etc.) throughout your life that led to repeated outcomes in order to help you intervene them and find more helpful behaviors (coping patterns) that allow you to live in line with your values. This helps to live more authentically and get in touch with who you are, rather simply living in line with any assigned roles you were given in the past. At birth, we are a Tabula Rasa – Blank Slate - and my belief is that when beginning self-exploration or recovery journeys we become the same. Ask yourself: “Who am I?” Let me help you to begin filling in the specifics, rather than the roles!
