About Your Therapist
I am a doctorate-level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey, with extensive experience supporting adults through some of life's most difficult seasons. My practice is grounded in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep belief in every person's capacity for growth and resilience.
I specialize in working with adults aged 18 and older who are navigating life transitions, family stressors, chronic health or mental health conditions, and other complex life challenges. My approach is collaborative — I meet you where you are, and together we build a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.
As a telehealth provider, I offer flexible, accessible care from the comfort of your own space. I am credentialed through Headway, making it easy to use your insurance benefits, and I am listed on Psychology Today for easy discovery and booking.
Beyond my clinical practice, I bring doctoral-level expertise to organizations through consulting, training, and community education — because mental health well-being extends far beyond the therapy room.
