Hey there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Northern New Jersey. I obtained my Masters degree from New York University and have over 15 years of experience in the field. While I work with a wide array of clients, my passion is helping people recover from anxiety and depression and begin to build a life worth living. I have worked extensively with LGBTQIA+ individuals to help them understand and recover from their traumas experienced growing up in an unaccepting society.
My goal is to help my clients feel more confident and motivated in their life while connecting more to the world around them. I work to create a safe, affirming, and relaxed environment in sessions. I understand that you are the expert of your own life, and I want to hear your story. I can help you learn new ways of coping and changing negative thinking patterns that keep you stuck. As you feel better, we will work to build connections and increase your understanding of yourself.
Clients tell me that they feel heard and validated after a session. Most times, people leave feeling hopeful for the changes they want to make, and supported. But within a few sessions, the goal is always to provide some relief to the primary reason you began therapy.
