If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, relationship struggles, career challenges, or a major life transition, you do not have to navigate it alone. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being yourself, exploring what you are going through, and figuring out what comes next.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a B.A. in Psychology from Ramapo College and an M.A. in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from William Paterson University. With experience in both community mental health and private practice, I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, career and workplace challenges, school-related stress, self-esteem, identity, and significant life transitions.

I have a particular interest in supporting individuals experiencing grief and loss. Grief can take many forms and is not limited to the death of someone we love. You may be grieving a relationship, changes in your health or abilities, a career, a sense of identity, or the future you thought you would have. Whatever your loss looks like, you deserve the space and time to process it without feeling pressured to simply "move on."

I am also passionate about working with members of the LGBTQ+ community and providing LGBTQ+ and transgender-affirming therapy. Whether you are exploring your identity, coming out, navigating relationships or family dynamics, experiencing discrimination or minority stress, or simply looking for a therapist with whom you do not have to explain or defend who you are, my goal is to provide a space where you feel respected, understood, and accepted. I am OutCare certified in culturally competent care for the LGBTQ+ community.

Living with a chronic illness can also affect far more than your physical health. It can impact your relationships, independence, identity, career, plans for the future, and how you see yourself. Therapy can provide a place to process those changes, grieve what has been lost, adjust to uncertainty, and build a meaningful life alongside the challenges you are facing.

My approach is person-centered and tailored to you. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, recognize patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and move toward the life you want.

You deserve a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we will make sense of what you are experiencing, work through what feels difficult, and help you find a path forward that feels right for you.
