About My Clients

They struggle with self doubt, people pleasing, fear of confrontation,& boundary setting. They often vacillate between overfunctioning/achieving & numbness/engaging in habits that help in the moment but cause long term distress. They don't feel heard, walk on egg shells with others, and may have emotionally immature parents/siblings. This can lead to loneliness, burnout, racing thoughts, anxiety, insomnia, physical pain, or feeling defeated. Let’ get your self care going and find your voice!

My Background and Approach

I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Masters in Counseling. I have a great deal of experience in a wide variety of settings that I draw from in our work together (i.e. private practice, community mental health clinics, hospital settings, school consultation, managing an IOP/PHP program, and previously serving as the President of the Somerset Hunterdon Psychological Association). I am warm, integrative, non judgmental, empathic, and holistic in my therapy style. I draw from a number of evidence based, state of the art treatment approaches to create a treatment plan with my clients to honor their unique needs and story: I will help you gain insight into your past and how it influences today; however, we do not need to "stay stuck" there. We will work together to learn and practice new tools and coping skills to help you feel unstuck, more empowered, and free. We will work to heal from pain and live in the present. Everyone has a story and you are not alone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My mission is to offer a non-judgmental, open-minded, safe, validating, and welcoming space for you to share, explore, grow, and connect with your authentic self. I am passionate about helping clients feel enough and a sense of wholeness.
