I graduated from Arcadia University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and received a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling Psychology from La Salle University in 2010. Following the completion of my education, I spent a decade providing direct patient care and clinical leadership in an inpatient co-occurring disorders treatment facility.

I believe that connection is the foundation of positive growth, and I dedicate my work to providing a safe place for clients to engage in self-expression and to explore the particular challenges they face on a daily basis. My approach is client centered, focusing on evidenced based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with clients of all ages and encourage inclusion and diversity within families to promote individual growth.

I began my career as a social worker for hospice in 1999 and have extensive experience helping families cope with death and grief due to illness and/or trauma. Following that foundational work, I expanded my clinical knowledge and expertise in a variety of settings to include substance abuse, challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, and navigating the foster care/adoption system.

I use an eclectic communication style and therapeutic approach, tailoring sessions to each individual's needs. I foster a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and value collaborative communication to build trust, autonomy, and strong therapeutic rapport. I believe therapy is a joint effort where clients are viewed as the experts of their lives, and success stems from shared commitment and courage. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand each patient's background, needs, and goals, encourage open dialogue including between sessions, and ensure clients are actively involved in the treatment planning process. My individualized plans are inclusive, goal-driven, and informed by training in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who specializes in Sport and Health Psychology. My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, nonjudgmental, trauma-informed, and goal-focused. I see therapy as a method to find the individual's strengths to help overcome any hardships.

I integrate treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Existential Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. In addition, I incorporate Sports Psychology in sessions where appropriate, as I believe physical activity can empower us and teach us life skills that boost self-esteem, promote team building, and aid in relaxation. These methods are proven to show reduction in anxiety and depression.

I specialize in treating PTSD among young adults, adults, and/or immigrant populations. I am also skilled in treating mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, grief, emotional abuse, and life transitions.

I have been a Doctor of Social Work since 2021 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, with experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with concerns such as trauma, substance abuse, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, marital issues, and more.

I have held leadership and clinical roles in community mental health centers, housing programs, hospitals, and non-profit organizations. I am proficient in assisting clients to navigate transitions in all aspects of the life span.

Over the past 30 years, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of therapy is the connection and comfort you feel with the person with whom you choose to share your personal struggles. I like to listen to what patients are telling me about what is important to them and what they would like to address in therapy. We can then start to set goals together and work towards the outcomes they want. We always go at a pace that is comfortable to the client.

I see individuals from the perspective of the various environments they interact in and how those environments impact them. I incorporate therapy from a Solution Focused perspective, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Attachment theory. I have also been trained in Crisis Intervention and Trauma Informed therapy. I am enthusiastic about collaborating with clients under the care of one of our psychiatric experts in order to allow for a more complete and personalized approach for each individual's needs.

I am fully licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in multiple states, with decades of life experience supporting my 3 years of full licensure. I began my education later in life at Elgin Community College, then continued to acquire my bachelor's degree from Argosy University with honors.

My training included the externship for Emotion Focused Therapy with Dr. Sue Johnson.

My life experience and clientele have spanned all life cycles, races, and medical needs, as well as honoring all varieties of human beings. I have also supported clients through medical diagnosis and end of life, as well as grief. I bring enthusiasm for each client based on the belief that each person has unique purpose, strengths, and abilities on which to draw. The client's abilities, paired with tools and support acquired in therapy, will lead each of my clients to a life they choose to enhance.

I fully embrace whole-person care and am passionate about understanding and supporting a client's lifestyle by exploring the six pillars associated with a client's well-being: healthy eating habits, physical activity, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep, and social connection. This passion for lifestyle medicine stems from my personal story of living with a chronic medical condition and overcoming many challenging obstacles. My services address stress management, relational health, effective communication, and conflict resolution. I am Gottman Level One and Two trained and am a certified relationship educator. Other modalities I use include solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness coaching. My mission is to be a source of hope for my clients, while walking with them and exploring the roads that illuminate their life story.

I am a Staff Psychotherapist at Talkiatry and have been practicing in the mental health field since 2008. I studied psychology at the University of Central Florida and received my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I have worked directly with adults adjusting to life transitions related to medical issues, relationships, work, becoming a parent, and other life cycle changes.

Over the years, I have enjoyed seeing clients grow in confidence, experience new levels of peace, and start to flourish in their relationships and careers.

I believe people already carry so much of what they need within them, but sometimes life gets loud, painful, confusing, or overwhelming, and it helps to have someone work alongside you to sort through it with care. My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and fully yourself.

I work with adults ages 18 and up who are navigating all kinds of challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family pain, life transitions, burnout, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. I know how important it is to feel genuinely seen—not judged, rushed, or reduced to a problem to solve—and I try to bring that into every session.

My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are. And I genuinely look forward to connecting with you!

‍

I hold an MS and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT) with holistic methods, emphasizing Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I believe in the mind-body connection and that exploring various areas of an individual's functioning is essential for optimum physical and emotional health. I emphasize a collaborative therapist-client relationship, where both act as partners in designing treatment goals. I value identifying ineffective past modalities to avoid frustration and ensure personalized care. Recognizing that each person is unique, I adapt to the patient's evolving needs, ensuring they feel heard and supported for positive outcomes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, and I have been a Social Worker since 2001. I completed my B.S. in Science with a major in Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 1992. I then worked as a Correction Counselor with the NYC Department of Corrections for a few years, working with female inmates who had substance abuse problems and with adolescents, facilitating treatment recovery groups and psychoeducation. In 1998, I began working with the Administration for Children Services while pursuing my Master's Degree at Hunter College School of Social Work, where I graduated in 2001 with my MSW. For 19 years I worked as a Discharge Planner in a hospital while attending Metropolitan Institute for Mental Health to study in the Adult Psychoanalytic Division. In 2012, I switched gears and began working as a Behavioral Health Care Manager, while also starting my own private practice, called "Live the Life you Want," because I strongly believe that all individuals should live their own lives the way they want to and desire. In 2022, I received a two-year certificate in Integrated Trauma from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, where I received training in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, and I am currently working toward a certification as an Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, an experiential model that seeks to alleviate patients' psychological suffering by helping them process the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years.

I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where patients are heard and validated, without needing to apologize for their pain or emotions. My therapeutic approach is collaborative: you actively work together with me to achieve your mental health goals, with progress reflecting the effort you put in. I begin by understanding your personal history to see how past experiences shape current behaviors and perspectives. Initial sessions focus on setting goals and identifying obstacles, followed by working together to overcome challenges and achieve those goals. This space encourages patients to express themselves authentically.

Open communication is central to my approach, and I believe therapy is most effective when clients and counselor collaborate to set clear, achievable goals together. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, I tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each individual.

In the first session, I introduce coping skills rooted in CBT to provide immediate support. I partner with clients to identify their concerns and build individualized treatment plans that fit their lives. Throughout therapy, I guide clients in restructuring unhelpful thoughts, balancing emotions with rationality, and practicing new skills. My ultimate goal is to equip clients with tools they can confidently use long after therapy ends.

I believe in tailoring interventions to each client's unique needs, fostering resilience and self-efficacy in their journey toward healing. My work spans multiple roles across inpatient and outpatient settings, with a strong focus on individuals facing substance use, domestic violence, and co-occurring conditions.

I hold an MSW from Louisiana State University and licensure in multiple states.

In my role as IOP coordinator, I managed IOP tracks, ensuring patients received comprehensive psychotherapeutic support via group and individual therapy. Previously, my work at the Guidance/Care Center molded my expertise in crisis response, relapse prevention, and intensive therapeutic interventions across various settings. My work as a Clinical Counselor at the Children's Home Society, working closely with parents involved in the child welfare system and providing therapy and court-informed treatment recommendations, further solidified this knowledge.

I believe that every individual is unique and the care they receive should reflect that. I base my treatment approach on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with elements of mindfulness and solutions focused therapy.

I recognize the stigma surrounding mental health and view seeking therapy as an act of resilience. I create a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental space where clients can be themselves. I value autonomy, support increased self-awareness, and genuinely celebrate each client's progress and healing. I enjoy integrating nutrition-focused psychoeducation and creative expression through play and art-based strategies. I begin by building rapport and gaining a thorough understanding of each client's history, concerns, and goals, then collaborate with clients to create individualized treatment plans that reflect their needs and priorities. I feel honored to walk alongside clients as they grow, heal, and build skills for lasting well-being.
