About

There's a unique kind of pain in working so hard to hold everything together while inside you quietly unravel. You push through, show up, take care of business and everyone else. Yet part of you feels unheard, invisible, lost. You wonder how you can keep going day after day, pretending that everything’s fine when inside you're overwhelmed, lonely, or simply tired. Whatever brings you here, it’s ok to ask for help. If you're ready for things to feel different, I’ll work with you to unravel the anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt that have kept you stuck, while helping you discover a sense of self-worth, connection and intention. Together we’ll create a roadmap to change that’s authentic and achievable. I am an LCSW with five years of post-graduate psychoanalytic training. My approach is to treat the underlying causes of your pain – rather than the pain itself – so that the benefits will be long-lasting. I’ll be an active partner and work to earn your trust by offering compassion while encouraging your growth toward a life more aligned with your true self. Specialties: Visit my website to schedule a free consultation at your convenience. I often have time available within 24 hours. Credentials & Experience: I have 5 years of post-graduate training through the New Jersey Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and the Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies.

"If we worked together, we would begin with understanding your goals and develop a plan based on them. I often work from a psychodynamic perspective so that we're addressing the source of the problem for more long-term results. As needed, I'll also bring in mindfulness, somatic and cognitive approaches."
