About me: In the therapy room, I aim to create a safe & confidential space for self-exploration, emotional healing, personal transformation, & self-discovery. My counseling style is collaborative, empathetic, non-judgemental, warm & extremely supportive. I use an eclectic approach, blending evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am a results-driven, trauma-informed, solution-focused clinician that stays abreast the most current research. My primary goal is to help you find peace & to help you thrive & solve the problems that brought you to therapy in the first place!

I am a LCSW in the state of NJ and a LSW in the states of CT & NY. I completed my education at Columbia University and have post-graduate training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strongly believe that the power of a helping relationship built on trust & unconditional acceptance can help one make positive changes.

I treat clients of all ages & specialize in treating anxiety disorders and panic disorders. Because I have battled anxiety in the past, I can truly understand what clients who have anxiety experience on a very personal level. I have healed from anxiety & my personal/professional expertise in this area make me uniquely qualified to help you heal too!
