If you have been thinking about speaking with a therapist, chances are that it’s time.
Talking to a stranger about the most intimate details of your life can be an
intimidating feat to overcome, and being vulnerable can be scary. That is why is my
goal to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable exploring and processing your
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I recognize the importance of developing a
genuine connection that feels like a ‘natural fit,’ and aim to make you feel
unconditionally accepted and supported. My specialty is helping adults and
adolescents that suffer from anxiety, depression, and trauma. Much of my success
has come from helping clients with life transitions, self-esteem, grief and loss,
relationship issues, and work-related stress. I only utilize evidence-based
treatments that are clinically proven to promote mental wellness. Through
increased insight and self-awareness, I help clients lead authentic, fulfilling lives that
improve relationships with themselves and others. I earned my Master’s degree in
Clinical Mental Health Counseling at New Jersey City University and specialized in
cultural competency; where I gained extensive training and experience working
with diverse populations.
