About My Clients

My clients are looking for a therapist who is warm, approachable and non-judgmental. When I work with kids and teens, I know how to get to the heart of the issue in a playful and engaging way. With adults, we can work together to help you feel better quickly. I know that therapy can be awkward and I work to make sure our time together is comfortable and meaningful. I work with postpartum women and new fathers, children and teens, and educators.

My Background and Approach

I am a NJ therapist with specialties in teen therapy, child therapy, parenting therapy, and men's mental health. I also love to work with teachers and educators on managing the stress and demands of being an educator in 2023. I've been described as warm and approachable with the ability to connect with teens and tweens. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to process and better understand your stressors. If you're looking for a therapist who is approachable and warm, but also effective in helping you develop coping skills, reach out to me for a free consult. I specialize in working with parents & families and issues facing children and adolescents. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Focused Therapy, Strength Based Perspectives, Systems Theory, and various Family System modalities. I utilize a tailored approach to each individual's needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a social worker by training, I am an advocate for social justice. I believe in LGBTQ rights as an advocate and ally. I have worked with adults and kids with developmental disabilities; I will always be an advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities to education, employment, and fulfilling personal life.
