About Me

I am a board-certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and psychotherapist. I maintain a private practice in downtown Jersey City and work in the psychiatric emergency department at Jersey City Medical Center, providing acute crisis intervention. I also serve on a specialized response team that partners with Hudson County Regional SWAT to offer immediate mental health support during critical incidents.

Earlier in my career, I worked in addiction treatment and at a university counseling center. These experiences, together with my current work, shape a flexible and nuanced approach that meets individuals where they are.

My clinical focus is helping those who grapple with a range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related issues, personality disorders, and adjustment difficulties.

What I’ve found most helpful in my work is not any single technique, but the collaborative nature of the relationship we build. With curiosity, courage, and a willingness to navigate discomfort and uncertainty, therapy can lay the groundwork for meaningful change. It can help individuals live in ways that feel authentic, purposeful and fulfilling.

My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic principles, though I draw on various modalities to meet each client’s unique needs, recognizing that no single method fits all.

After more than a decade in another field, I chose to realign my life to better reflect my values and pursue work that feels truly meaningful. My approach is informed by my own personal growth, relationships, professional transitions, and clinical experience.

Outside of my profession, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
