About

Are you emotionally drained from battling all the time your harsh, critical, unrelenting inner voice- so much that you feel you are your biggest enemy? Do you find yourself struggling to accept and love yourself for who you are because you feel "uncomfortable in your own skin?" Are there days when you feel stuck in life- that you aren't making any movement towards your goals? Or perhaps you are tired of feeling overwhelmed: whether because of constant anxiety, depression, low self-confidence or stress due to recent changes in your life. You just know you aren't living the living the life you want. You want things to change now.
Imagine living each day without being bombarded constantly by thoughts that make you doubt & judge yourself every moment. Imagine living your life with more purpose, certainty, confidence, & positivity. You might feel lost now, but finding your way to the life you want is possible. I can help you in your journey of self-discovery, healing, & transformation.
As a clinically trained counselor, I use research-based approaches and techniques with those I work with to help them achieve their dreams and goals. With compassion and empathy, I provide a nonjudgmental, accepting and collaborative environment for you to grow into who you want to be. Let's work together to help you become empowered and transformed.

I have my MA in community counseling from Montclair State University, NJ. I have practiced in multiple settings: community outpatient, adolescent partial hospitalization, substance abuse residential treatment, substance abuse med-assisted outpatient, psychiatric emergency room, mobile crisis teams and finally, private practice.
