About
My approach is to help clients move through emotional discomfort, challenge unhealthy beliefs, and explore who they are while providing compassion and acceptance. Together, we can work in a solution-focused manner to help you recognize the patterns in your life or relationships that may be holding you back. I’m a trauma informed therapist that works with adolescents and adults with optimism and understanding about the challenges they face. I enjoy helping individuals with life transitions and working on self-esteem. I have a passion for working with women in midlife. I specialize in eating disorders, and bring experience working in higher levels of care & the understanding of the modalities they use. I use a combination of theoretical orientations, including CBT and ACT. I use compassion, humor, and unwavering optimism to empower clients to live their best life. I am here to cheer my clients on, empathize, and foster independence. In my personal life, I love to spend time with friends and family, walk my dog, and eat ice cream. It would be my joy to partner with you on your therapeutic journey. Specialties: I work with client who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or eating disorders. We can explore the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan to address them in way that you live your life fully. Credentials & Experience: I have experience helping teens, and adults in crisis. I'm licensed in NJ and have been trained to practice trauma-informed therapy.
