About me
Life can be challenging and extremely overwhelming. Let me help you learn ways to process, navigate, & overcome difficult life emotions, and to begin to enjoy life again. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor (LCADC) in NJ with a deep passion for bettering the lives of others. I have been in the field of mental health & addictions treatment for 10+ years with experience in working with depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, stress, grief/loss, addiction, and mood disorders. I look forward to helping you grow through what you go through!
I love working with client of all ages, but especially those that are eager and motivated to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. Those that often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about what lies ahead. I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting clients where they are at. I utilize a number of different approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), as well as aspects of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to give the client an opportunity to gain perspective, insight, and awareness of themselves, their relationships, and their overall experiences.
