About My Clients
With nearly 20 years as an oncology social worker, I support individuals navigating cancer, chronic illness, caregiver burnout, and major life transitions. My practice provides compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for women and adults managing anxiety, depression, and loss. Blending evidence-based tools with holistic mind-body care, I help you process emotional pain, regulate your nervous system, and find balance across NJ, NY, and CT.
My Background and Approach
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Board-Certified Oncology Social Worker (OSW-C) with nearly two decades of experience, I integrate evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic practices. My background spans hospital-based oncology social work, private practice, and clinical instruction at universities. I am also a trained end-of-life doula. My approach blends clinical depth with somatic awareness, utilizing modalities tailored to your needs: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Reframe unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. • Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP): Cultivate purpose during illness and transitions. • EMDR & IFS: Heal emotional trauma and integrate core parts of the self. • Mind-Body Integration: Somatic regulation, mindfulness, yoga, and Reiki to restore balance. I collaborate to make therapy work best for you and to create sustainable healing across mind, body, and spirit.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe therapy is most effective when grounded in modalities that are genuinely proven to work. Experiencing the transformative power of therapy firsthand and seeing my clients experience real, lasting breakthroughs has deeply shaped my conviction in these approaches. Healing is not just about talking; it is about creating meaningful, measurable change in the brain and body. My belief in neuroscience-informed therapies like EMDR, IFS, and CBT stems from seeing how effectively they untangle trauma, reframe thought patterns, and restore inner clarity. At the same time, true recovery requires engaging the body. I offer somatic regulation, mindfulness, yoga, and Reiki practices because soothing the nervous system is essential for complete, whole-person healing. Beyond my clinical beliefs, I am committed to inclusivity, equity, and non-judgmental support for all backgrounds and identity journeys as an LGBTQIA+ ally and advocate.
