I am a Licensed Associate Counselor dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages with compassion, empathy, acceptance, and attunement as they navigate life’s opportunities and challenges.

 

My professional journey began in education. After earning my Master’s Degree in Education from Rutgers University, I spent 15 years as a special education teacher in public, private, and charter schools. Throughout my career, I saw that many of my students needed support that reached beyond academics. This realization inspired me to pursue my passion for mental health, leading me to earn a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Monmouth University.

 

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are neurodiverse, as well as supporting families navigating through the complexities of parenting. My clinical background includes working with individuals with ADHD, anxiety, autism, OCD, learning differences, emotional regulation difficulties, family conflict, trauma recovery, and depression.

 

I believe healing occurs within a safe and supportive environment. My approach is collaborative and relational, drawing from emotion-focused therapy and experiential modalities to help clients explore their inner experiences, process emotions, and develop greater self-awareness. Above all, I am passionate about working with individuals who want to learn about their processes through reflection and insight. I strive to create a space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and accepted as they move toward healing and growth.
