As a compassionate and experienced therapist, my mission is to support individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences, including loss, acute and chronic illness, trauma, life transitions, caregiver burnout, depression, and anxiety. With an extensive background in healthcare and hospice, I understand that these difficult circumstances can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of where to turn. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based therapies to help you find clarity, healing, and strength as you navigate these challenges.

I have 10+ years of experience working with preteens, teens, and adults in both clinical and non-clinical manners. I began my career as a therapist working at and developing a clinical program within a public school system. Additionally, I worked for a company which provided Intensive In-Community (IIC) Services for youth and families in Bergen County. These career opportunities have rewarded me with a wealth of knowledge in areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and peer conflict, school avoidance and life transitions for preteens, teens, and even young adults.
