I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional. I aim to build a strong, therapeutic relationship with you to help us work together towards your goals. As I walk along with you throughout your growth journey, I will utilize your strengths to help you achieve your goals and utilize the most effective therapeutic treatment(s) that is tailored to your individual life.
As a therapist, I have worked with individuals ages 2-21 through mobile response crisis situations, intensive in-home therapy, residential group home settings and partial care level group therapy. While working with children, adolescents and adults, I integrate family sessions as clinically indicated to promote sustainability within the household. I have also worked with all ages 65+, as an outpatient clinician in a community setting. Regardless of my clients’ ages, I aim to prioritize self-determination, promote well-being, and provide a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients to achieve their goals at their own pace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
