Hi there, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with fourteen years of experience in the field, primarily within healthcare settings, including outpatient behavioral health. I earned my Master's in Clinical Social Work from Rutgers University and completed Post-Master’s certifications in Trauma-Informed Clinical Practice and Advanced Assessment and Diagnosis (DSM-5) at NYU. My areas of expertise include loss and grief counseling, trauma-informed therapy, anxiety and depression management, relationships, and life coaching.
My approach to therapy is warm and approachable, while also emphasizing the importance of setting clear professional boundaries from the start. I strive to treat each individual with respect, empathy, and care. I use a variety of clinical techniques, mostly focusing on strength-based, short-term, and solution-oriented strategies to help clients achieve their goals. Taking the step to begin therapy is a courageous act, and I commend you for starting this journey. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!
