- LCSW
I am a licensed psychotherapist in New Jersey with over 20 years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) and EMDR-trained therapist, I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, and life transitions.
My approach is rooted in creating a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space where clients can process their experiences and move toward healing. I draw from evidence-based practices, including EMDR, DBT, and CBT, to guide clients toward greater resilience, emotional regulation, and fulfillment.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I am committed to walking alongside you in building a more balanced, meaningful, and hopeful life.

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.
