She/Her/Hers

I am passionate about working with clients living with the effects of trauma, recognizing that finding the right therapeutic connections is a critical first step in healing. My personal and professional experiences have uniquely prepared me to support clients in creating meaningful, transformative life changes. I believe in the power of researched based interventions combined with genuine compassion and deep empathy to help individuals navigate their most challenging experiences.

My academic journey began with a bachelor's degree in psychology from Kean University, which laid a strong foundation for my understanding of human behavior and mental health. I further developed my clinical expertise by completing a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology where I gained advanced skills in trauma-informed care.

My therapeutic approach is centered on collaboration and empowerment. I assist clients in developing new skills and gaining profound insights, helping them recognize their inherent strengths and resilience. By creating a safe space, I support clients in understanding their experiences, processing complex emotions, and developing effective coping strategies.
