I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in working with teens, college students, young adults, and clients throughout New Jersey. I help people navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and all the emotional ups and downs that come with growing, changing, and figuring life out.

Therapy with me isn't about lying on a couch while I silently nod and take notes. It's a conversation. I'll offer practical tools and strategies you can actually use, challenge those negative thoughts, celebrate your wins, and sit beside you through the hard moments. And yes—we may even chat about reality TV or whatever's currently living rent-free in your mind.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed approaches to meet your unique needs. Together, we'll explore whatever feels most important—whether that's current stressors, past experiences, or patterns that keep showing up in your life.

I believe lasting change happens when we understand how our thoughts, emotions, physical responses, and behaviors all work together. Therapy isn't just about talking—it's about building awareness, learning new skills, and developing tools that help you feel calmer, more confident, and better equipped to navigate everyday life.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University and my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from Rutgers University. Over the past 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with countless teens and adults. Those experiences have reinforced one thing above all else: every person's story matters, and everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood.

Whether this is your first time considering therapy or you're returning after some time away, my hope is that our work together feels empowering, supportive, and real. We'll collaborate on your goals and move at a pace that feels right for you.

When I'm not in the office, you'll probably find me:

• ☕ Drinking Rook Coffee

• 🚶‍♀️ Going for long walks & practicing yoga to clear my head.

• ❤️ Spending time with my family & young daughter at the beach.

I believe therapy works best when you can connect with the person sitting across from you. So whether we're talking about anxiety, life transitions, sports performance, or your latest Netflix obsession, I hope that you'll always feel like you're talking to someone who's genuinely in your corner.
