Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to take the next step? Maybe you know what needs to get done, but anxiety, procrastination, or self-doubt keeps getting in the way. Whether you're a child, teenager, parent, or adult navigating life's challenges, I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my approach is warm, collaborative, and hands-on. I believe therapy should go beyond simply talking about problems. Sometimes that means working together during a session to tackle something you've been avoiding, whether it's drafting a difficult email, breaking down an overwhelming task, or finding a manageable starting point. I focus on small, achievable steps because even the smallest victories can build confidence and create meaningful change.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, behavioral challenges, parenting difficulties, and life transitions. My approach is eclectic, strength-based, and solution-focused, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's needs. I strive to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where you can be yourself without fear of criticism or shame.

I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and OutCare certified in culturally competent care for the LGBTQ+ community. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in Social Work from Rutgers University and continue to expand my clinical knowledge through professional development, including specialized training in gambling addiction counseling.

Outside of the office, I enjoy gardening, cooking, baking, crafting, reading, and spending time outdoors. I love activities that allow me to be creative, learn something new, and appreciate life's little moments.

I understand that making changes can feel intimidating, especially when you're already overwhelmed. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We'll start wherever you are, take things one step at a time, and celebrate the progress you make along the way.
