My direct client experience includes work with adult clients who have difficulty with mental health and substance abuse issues; individuals who have experienced a traumatic event in their lives; young adults who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis; individuals who suffer from severe and persistent mental illness such as Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder; and college students experiencing academic and personal concerns. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical and Alcohol Drug Counselor (LCADC) in the state of New Jersey, and I have over 20+ years of experience as a Mental Health Clinician within a local community mental health agency in central NJ. In addition, I also supervise Masters Level Counseling students who are working towards obtaining their licensure to practice in the field. Therapy is a multi-faceted process that involves increasing self-awareness and problem-solving. The process is enhanced by active engagement between a client and a therapist, who build a collaborative and trusting relationship. I help individuals resolve problems and transform patterns of feeling, thinking, and behavior, so they can create a life that is more satisfying and fulfilling. This may involve a better understanding of what generates challenging feelings and increasing one’s ability to cope with them. It may also involve finding healthy ways to increase positive feelings or express oneself. I will help you learn how to identify and change certain beliefs about yourself, others, and the larger world that are limiting. I also help clients learn how to plan, interact, and act in ways that enable them to reach their goals and improve their sense of well-being, their lives, and even the lives of those close to them.

I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling exploring new places, and watching movies. I also love yoga and going to the gym with my friends.
