Oxford Therapists in New Jersey

I initally began my career in technical problem-solving in the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, but my deeper calling was always in helping people navigate their own challenges. While working as an engineer, I served my church community as a lay counselor and intercessor, which sparked a growing passion for more meaningful, people-centered work. That calling led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I serve as both a private practice clinician and a workplace mental health consultant and trainer. This work allows me to blend my analytical skills with a deep commitment to emotional wellbeing—and I truly feel I’ve found my purpose.

I became a therapist because I believe in the right to be fully human—messy, tender, wild, and whole. As a fat, queer person, I know what it’s like to live in a world that often tries to shrink, silence, or erase. Therapy, for me, is about reclaiming space: a space where you don’t have to apologize for who you are, how much you feel, or the story you carry. In our work together, I show up with warmth, humor, and deep care. I don’t see therapy as “fixing” people—I see it as co-creating a relationship where you can be curious, honest, and supported in exploring who you are becoming. My approach blends somatic awareness, relational depth, and gender-affirming care to help you reconnect with your body, identity, and inner wisdom.

The journey of healing begins with a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust and mutual respect. My worldview and core values determine my approach to therapy and engaging with you.

I have decades of rich and varied life experiences which inform my practice. I have worked in schools with children as an educator with a great understanding of human development, I am a grass-roots level community development social worker and a mental health clinician in community behavioral health.
