I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from New Jersey City University and a Bachelor's from the University of Vermont. I am a New Jersey licensed counselor and psychotherapist with a broad range of experience across addiction treatment, university counseling, private practice, and psychiatric emergency care. Currently, I work at Jersey City Medical Center's psychiatric emergency department, providing crisis intervention. I also see clients in a private practice setting in Hoboken.

I provide psychotherapy for adults, couples, and adolescents grappling with universal human experiences like anxiety, depression, and grief, which have become overwhelming and disruptive to daily life. I also support those navigating the lasting effects of relationship abuse, offering a supportive environment to process and heal. I help clients explore the roots of their troubles, integrate meaningful changes, align with their values, and find relief from overwhelming worries. Rooted in psychoanalytic principles, I draw on various therapeutic methods when appropriate to meet each client’s unique needs, recognizing that no single approach suits everyone. Through consistent weekly sessions and a strong therapeutic alliance, I help clients navigate intense emotions, deepen self-understanding, and live with greater ease, clarity, and purpose.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After over a decade in the corporate world, I shifted careers to follow my passions, and this journey continues to inform my practice today.
