“Ask for help. Not because you are weak, but because you want to remain strong.” Knowing when to reach out and ask for help is a HUGE step in your journey to healing – and look, here you are! As a therapist, I understand that therapy is not a “one size fits all” service and I strive to walk alongside my clients as they seek emotional well-being. It is my job to collaborate with you, the expert, while guiding and empowering you to identify and reach attainable goals in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment.
After obtaining my Masters degree from Rutgers University, I have had the opportunity to work with children, teens and adults doing in-home and school-based counseling, as well as counseling at non-profit agencies. I utilize a holistic, person-centered and strengths-based approach because every client comes with their own unique experiences and stories.
Life can be tough, but so are you! I have experience working with children, teens and adults and my goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard and valued as we work together to build on your strengths! By taking this first step, you are beginning your own personal journey! I aspire to support and empower you, one step at a time!

”Be the change you want to see” is not a one-size-fits-all therapy mantra, but a verified life skill I have honed in my clients.
I enjoy working together with all age groups for individual, couple, or family therapy. Through my training in the EFT therapy model, my client’s positive life shifts were successfully prompted with careful guidance. Leading with compassion, I’ve assisted in unraveling life- binding issues like depression, anxiety, personality disorder, trauma, domestic violence, and many other mental health challenges.
By utilizing a variety of modalities, I custom tailor my treatment to the needs of each client. The various therapy models I engage include Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic treatments.
With my nonjudgmental and empathetic approach, we can work together to find your inner strengths and reach goals.
The current pandemic crisis has put a magnifying glass on many behavioral and relationship issues. Allow this time to be a catalyst for the changes you want to see in your life.

I am a Licensed Social worker and received my master’s degree at Daemen College. I work with children and adolescents.
A child’s or adolescent’s struggles with negative behaviors, difficult feelings, or unhealthy relationships, can impact the rest of his or her life. However, addressing these challenges during the child’s and adolescent’s developmental years can set the stage for a happier and healthier future.
Every parent desires the very best for his or her child. But when children and adolescents are faced with complex or difficult emotional issues, their lack of life experience and coping skills can make those issues extremely difficult to overcome. That’s where I come in to help.
I believe that by creating a compassionate, safe, and non- judgmental space and using a variety of therapy approaches, such as CBT, Play Therapy, and Strengths Based Therapy, we can establish a trusting and positive relationship it takes to bring about real and lasting change.
“Instead of raising children who turn out okay despite their childhood, let’s raise children who turn out extraordinary because of their childhood.”
