About me
Get to know me and my areas of clinical focus.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from New Jersey City University and a Bachelor’s from the University of Vermont. I am a New Jersey licensed counselor and psychotherapist with diverse experience in addiction treatment, university counseling, private practice, and psychiatric emergency care. Currently, I work at Jersey City Medical Center’s psychiatric emergency department, providing crisis intervention, and offer psychotherapy at Wellness Counseling in Hoboken.
I provide psychotherapy for adults, couples, and adolescents grappling with universal human experiences like anxiety, depression, and grief, which can feel overwhelming and disruptive to daily life. I support clients navigating the aftermath of relationship abuse by fostering an empathetic, reflective environment where they can process their experiences and build confidence to pursue a life aligned with their aspirations. I aim to help clients explore the roots of their challenges, integrate meaningful changes, align with their values, and find relief from overwhelming worries.
Rooted in psychoanalytic and existential principles, I draw on various therapeutic methods to meet each client’s unique needs, recognizing that no single approach fits all. Through consistent weekly sessions and a strong therapeutic alliance, I guide clients to navigate intense emotions, deepen self-understanding, and live with greater ease, clarity, and purpose.
After over a decade in the corporate world, I shifted careers to follow my passions. My work is deeply informed by my own personal growth, relationships, professional transitions, and clinical experience, which allows me to connect with clients’ struggles and aspirations with empathy and insight.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
