I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey with over 5 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with clients presenting with a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, adjustment issues including major life transitions, LGBTQ and questioning struggles, OCD, ADHD, career challenges, relationship issues, Bipolar disorder, and clients who were a victim of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. I have worked in many different setting including school-based counseling, outpatient clinics, primary care offices, residential treatment centers, and presently college counseling.
My counseling style is warm, laid back, and collaborative. I believe in the importance of meeting my client where they need me, and building a strong alliance that will help clients feel empowered and motivated to enact change in their life. I believe in understanding my client's unique life story before diving into problem-solving mode. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches based o my client's unique goals. I primarily delve in cognitive-behavioral therapy so we can see how you can start feeling better immediately. I also utilize psychodynamic to get a rich history that will help me understand who you are and how you got to this moment. I try to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible and encourage feedback if an intervention I suggest or a reflection of what you are saying is off the mark, I am human and welcome honest conversations about our work together.
It is not easy seeking help and this is the first step to getting to a better place! I commend you for taking that leap to ensure positive change. I am excited to have the chance to help in this journey of yours.
I look forward to working with you!

Very helpful and understanding. You'll find yourself subconsciously bragging about him as if he was your real life best friend! You feel safe, free, and heard. He is very kind, encouraging, and seeks to help you look within yourself to find answers.
