About My Clients

Are you constantly worrying? Do you wish you had more confidence? Does anxiety keep you from enjoying life? I have over 20 years experience working in the behavioral/mental health field. I have extensive training in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Anxiety can rob us of the ability to enjoy life, by avoiding situations where a panic attack may occur. Learn to better understand your thoughts, feelings and relationships. Anxiety is extremely unpleasant. Therapy can help.

My Background and Approach

I’ve been in private practice for nearly 2 decades. I have experience working in numerous mental health settings, which include working as a Clinical Supervisor at Robert Wood Johnson-Somerset (both inpatient and outpatient settings), Princeton House Behavioral Health, GenPsych P.C., and Somerset Medical Center. ​ I work best with clients who are experiencing anxiety, trauma and depression. I’ve been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). I’m currently an affiliate at The Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I am also a Level I trauma graduate at the Sensorimotor Institute. I am a Clinical Supervisor for graduate students that are working on receiving clinical hours toward licensure. I have also been certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) as of 2022. I am currently pursuing a certificate in Rapid Resolution Therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

The complexities of our lives provide us with unique challenges. At times, these challenges may become overwhelming and difficult to manage on our own. Seeking support is crucial in our own self-care, and by being here reading this, you have taken a first step toward a healthier life. Our experience and approach to psychotherapy provide a stable foundation in supporting our clients as they embark on their journey toward wellness. We feel it is an honor and privilege to be chosen by each individual as their guide and witness. ​ Our approach is geared toward examining and embracing individual needs. Through a collaborative process, we work with the client to alleviate their symptoms and to encourage their personal growth. We believe in the uniqueness of our clients' traits and experiences and see them as potential strengths to be cultivated throughout treatment. We also encourage open feedback throughout our work together
