About me

My road to becoming a therapist has not been linear. I have always been an observer, a good listener, a helper and a patient caregiver - well before I went to Rutgers School of Social Work! But I never imagined that I would become a therapist.

With an undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Drew University, I have a unique world view. I love to learn about my clients, their families of origin, their traditions, religions and cultures.

I have worked in hospitals, non-profits, agency settings, assisted living facilities and in my own private practice. Each of these experiences has helped me to grown and learn. I feel uniquely qualified to support older adults, individuals with various kind of disabilities and neurodivergence, as well as caregivers and families.

Now that I have found my way to owning a private therapy practice, I absolutely love it! And I feel honored to spend time with my clients, getting to know them and their own unique journey. People often tell me that they feel comfortable with me right away. I have a calm demeanor and am very patient. I allow people the time they need to build trust and determine their own therapy goals. I help others to build up their own strengths and to change the negative thoughts directed at themselves. I teach strategies for coping with anxiety and depression. I teach assertive communication skills so that clients can effectively communicate with caregivers and family.

I look forward to hearing from you! Please reach out for a free consult to see if we would be a good fit.
