I’m a licensed therapist in New Jersey with 5+ years of professional experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. My background includes school-based therapy, in-home and residential work, and supporting student-athletes, adolescents with behavioral challenges, and individuals navigating substance use disorders. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, identity exploration, and LGBTQ+ issues.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate — I believe *you* are the expert of your own story, and I’m here to help you tap into your strengths and move forward with confidence. Starting therapy takes courage, and I’m proud of you for taking that first step.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
