About My Clients

I provide telehealth therapy to clients in NJ, PA, and ME, working with individuals seeking deeper self-understanding and healthier relationships. My ideal clients may be navigating anxiety, trauma, attachment wounds, relationship or family challenges, or major life transitions. Together, we work toward lasting change, emotional healing, greater confidence, and more grounded, connected relationships.

My Background and Approach

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I take a systemic and integrative approach to therapy, recognizing how family history, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being. I tailor treatment to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed care, and Family Systems Therapy to support anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, self-understanding, and meaningful change. I welcome your feedback and can incorporate specific therapeutic approaches based on your needs and goals.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people are capable of change and growth throughout their lives. Our families, relationships, and experiences shape how we cope and connect, but those patterns don’t have to define us forever. Therapy can help us understand where our patterns come from, develop new ways of responding, and create meaningful change. I’m a big believer in psychoeducation and science. I love helping clients understand how their brains, bodies, emotions, and relationships influence their experiences. If you like to learn, fair warning: I may send you more articles than you have time to read! I strive to create a warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. You know your life best, and I bring the clinical knowledge to help us make sense of it together. Most importantly, I believe you don’t have to stay stuck. There is always room to grow, heal, and build a life and relationships that feel meaningful to you.
