Are you a college student feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of school, relationships, and figuring out your future? Do you struggle with ADHD, difficulty staying focused, or feeling like you're constantly falling behind? Perhaps you're an athlete managing performance anxiety, the pressure to succeed, or the emotional challenges of an injury. Or maybe past traumatic experiences continue to affect how you feel, think, and navigate everyday life.

Whatever you're facing, you don't have to work through it alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and Pennsylvania with over 13 years of experience, I enjoy working with college students, young adults, individuals with ADHD, and athletes, as well as children, adolescents, and adults experiencing trauma and other mental health challenges. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from American University and my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Centenary College. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel comfortable being yourself while developing the skills and confidence to move forward.

College and young adulthood can be exciting, but they can also bring tremendous pressure. Balancing academics, relationships, independence, family expectations, and uncertainty about the future can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Having worked in a university counseling center, I understand many of the challenges college students face. I help young adults navigate life transitions, manage stress, build self-confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping with everyday demands.

I also enjoy supporting individuals with ADHD, including those who struggle with attention, organization, procrastination, time management, emotional regulation, and feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities. ADHD can affect much more than concentration. It can influence relationships, academic performance, work, and self-esteem. Together, we can explore your individual strengths and challenges while developing practical strategies that work for you.

Athletes face unique emotional and psychological demands, both on and off the field. Whether you're struggling with performance anxiety, perfectionism, pressure from coaches or teammates, balancing academics and athletics, or adjusting to an injury or setback, therapy can provide a space to process these experiences. I enjoy helping athletes strengthen their coping skills, build resilience, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves and their sport.

Another important focus of my work is trauma therapy. Traumatic experiences can continue to influence your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of safety long after an event has passed. I have extensive experience supporting individuals affected by trauma, PTSD, traumatic loss, and domestic violence. I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment that can help individuals process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact of past experiences. My approach is always guided by your individual needs, comfort, and readiness.

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I take a holistic, collaborative approach and integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and EMDR to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful changes in their lives.

My professional background includes working in nonprofit organizations, private practice, and university counseling, where I have provided crisis intervention, supported individuals affected by domestic violence, and offered suicide prevention training. I also served honorably in the United States military, an experience that has contributed to my understanding of resilience, personal challenges, and the many different paths people take through life.

I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) and am OutCare certified in culturally competent care for the LGBTQ+ community. I am committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment for every client.

You deserve to feel supported, understood, and confident in your ability to navigate life's challenges. Whether you're a college student trying to find your footing, an individual managing ADHD, an athlete facing pressure, or someone working through painful experiences, I'm here to help you move forward.
