I work with people across the full lifespan — children as young as 9, teenagers navigating identity and pressure, adults in transition, and seniors facing loss or life change. I'm a New Jersey-licensed LPC providing telehealth only, which means you can access quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable — your living room, your car between meetings, wherever works for you.
My practice is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and for clients who value their faith, I can integrate spiritual reflection into our work in a way that feels natural and grounded — never pressured. I accept most major NJ insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Horizon NJ, AmeriHealth NJ, Carelon, and Optum, so cost is rarely the barrier it might be elsewhere.

You don't have to have everything figured out to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your values. I believe healing happens through a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), polyvagal-informed interventions (PVT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client's unique needs.
I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University in New York City. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across community mental health, intensive outpatient treatment programs, Head Start consultation, and private practice. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns while helping clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.
As a former collegiate athlete, I have a special passion for working with athletes navigating performance pressure, injury recovery, confidence challenges, burnout, and the mental demands of competition. I understand the unique challenges of balancing athletics with everyday life and enjoy helping clients strengthen both their mental health and mental performance.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I'm committed to providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and purpose.

I believe therapy works best when you can be yourself, and that starts with me being myself. My style is warm, conversational, and down-to-earth. I don't believe therapy has to feel formal or intimidating. Instead, I see it as a genuine conversation with purpose, where we work together to better understand what's happening in your life and identify meaningful ways forward.
I also believe that change rarely happens in a straight line. Progress often includes unexpected turns, setbacks, and moments of insight. Rather than focusing on perfection, we'll work to understand patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that fit your life.
My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable asking difficult questions, exploring challenges honestly, and even finding moments of humor along the way. Therapy doesn't have to feel like you're being analyzed. It should feel like you're working with someone who is genuinely invested in helping you make sense of your experiences and move toward the life you want.
