About me
I believe clients achieve their best outcomes when they feel genuinely empowered and supported within the therapeutic relationship. Through a collaborative process, I provide guidance, encouragement, and evidence-based interventions to help you build the skills and strategies necessary for effective symptom management, improved functioning, and enhanced overall quality of life. Together, we will establish individualized treatment goals that reflect your unique needs and aspirations. With your commitment to the therapeutic process, combined with the right tools and professional support, meaningful and lasting positive change is possible.
Having graduated with my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (Addiction Concentration) from Walden University, I have over three years of experience providing both individual and group counseling. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist – Addiction and a National Certified Counselor, licensed in New Jersey, with a background in partial care and intensive outpatient treatment settings, where I supported clients with diverse mental health needs. I am currently practicing as a remote therapist through Reservoir Health/Pax Health, supporting individuals of all ages with varying diagnoses.
