Background

My background includes working with children, adolescents, adults and families in both school and community mental health settings for over 15 years. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology with honors from Rutgers University and Master of Science (MS) in Counseling from Monmouth University, where I was inducted into Chi Sigma Iota, the National Honor Society for Counseling Students and Professionals. My studies focused on crisis intervention and counseling with a concentration in suicide awareness.

Credentials and Licensing.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of New Jersey, as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I’m also a certified New Jersey Student Assistance Coordinator (SAC) and School Counselor. I am DRCC (Disaster Response Crisis Counselor) in the state of NJ and have been certified in assisting individuals and groups in crisis intervention by the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc.

Areas of Passion and Specialty.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, and adjustment-related difficulties, along with family and work stressors. I also have experience working with clients experiencing grief and trauma.

Approach.

My approach to counseling draws from Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered therapies along with evidence-based techniques. I take a client-centered approach to therapy; a collaborative relationship to formulate realistic goals with accessible strategies that the individual client can apply in their life. I work to establish a space of warmth and acceptance to support my clients while they resolve their difficulties and rediscover their strengths.
