I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of emotional, relational, and life-transition challenges. I help clients navigate mental health symptoms, family and social dynamics, past traumas, and stressful life changes. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative, and I work to help clients strengthen their mental and emotional well-being, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University. I take the time to understand each person’s unique situation and integrate therapeutic modalities that truly support their goals. I draw from a person-in-environment perspective and focus on creating a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.

Seeking support is a powerful first step, and you deserve care that honors your story and meets you where you are. I’m here to help you untangle what feels overwhelming and move toward healing at your own pace. When you're ready, schedule a session and give yourself the opportunity to grow, reconnect, and step forward with confidence.
