Find a therapist in New Jersey — covered by insurance

I am passionate about supporting people in finding healing and hope from all different walks of life. Many of my clients have started their healing journey feeling helpless in their parenting, swallowed by anxiety, bogged down by a fog of depression, out of control managing their ADHD, or keep hitting a dead end trying to repair their marriage or relationships.

Hello! I look forward to meeting you!

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 16 years. I absolutely value the human experience and am honored to be on this journey with you. I work with children and adults, particularly experienced with anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and Autism.

I am client-centered and tailor my work to each individual’s needs, drawing from cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based practices. I am attuned to how emotional manipulation and self-doubt take root after toxic relationships, and I work closely with clients to rebuild self-esteem and improve boundaries.

Do you ever find yourself thinking about food all of the time? Are you consumed by guilt, shame, and regret over every food choice you make throughout the day? Does the number on the scale affect your mood and how you feel about yourself? Do you eat in private or in hiding? Do you constantly think about your next meal? Do you have a hard time identifying your hunger of fullness cues? Do you struggle with trusting your body? Does your fear of weight gain dictate your food choices or are you always trying a new "diet"? If this sounds like you, you are not alone. I am here to help you find relief and re-discover body acceptance.

I bring extensive training and expertise for individuals and families. My practice offers tele-health based services that specialize in providing trauma informed care for a range of issues including anxiety, mood regulation, and crisis management. My practice has evolved to encompass clinical work and coaching for clients with a diverse range of needs.

As a counselor, I bring extensive training and expertise in evidence-based therapies for individuals and couples. My goal is to provide supportive and empowering care. With over 24 years in the field, I have built a professional reputation for being responsive, empathic, and encouraging for clients wherever they are on their journey.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing behavioral health treatment services across medical, inpatient, outpatient, and insurance-based settings.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and structured, grounded in evidence-based practices while remaining responsive to each client’s unique cultural, emotional, and life context.

Clients often describe my style as warm, supportive, and direct. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space while also helping clients set realistic goals and move toward meaningful change.

I work well with adults seeking support for emotional well-being, coping skills, and improved quality of life.

I believe that taking care of your mental health in a respectful and helpful environment will serve you well and impact your life very positively. We all need a confidential space to explore as well as gain skills and awareness in navigating the people and challenges in our lives. I love to help parents learn how to connect with and manage even children who are challenging. I also seek to give you the time and space that you need to discover and enjoy your best self. I believe in you.
