The throes of life can present stressors that disable us leaving us feeling ineffective and helpless. Whether you have experienced a minor setback, a complete crisis, or anything in between, life's difficulties can be opportunities for growth. My approach is supportive and non-judgmental. I seek to empower people with the tools and skills that they need to understand, confront, cope with and/or manage their life's stressors. I believe that no one individual is the same and am here to treat the "Whole" you holistically and compassionately. I use an eclectic approach to traditional therapy and draw upon many inspirations in my practice. My goal is to inspire creative solutions to the challenges you may face and help realize your true potential to facilitate growth
I graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with a Post-Master’s in School Counseling from Kean University in New Jersey, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Kean University. My experience includes individual and group therapy for people of all ages, coming from diverse social, economic, and cultural backgrounds, and living with a broad range of mental illnesses or emotional pain due to life stressors.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with Snoopy (my Havanese), and my husband. I love sitting by the fire with a great book and a cup of tea when it’s cold outside, and going on nature hikes when the temperature starts to thaw out a bit. One of my other passions is spending time in the kitchen, cooking up delicious meals for my family.

Children age 10 and older, Preteens and Teens, Adults and Elders. Cancer and cancer supporters, Gay, Lesbian and Grieving persons
I believe that successful counseling begins with the relationship between the client and the counselor. I work to establish a trusting, open and non-judgmental environment with the client. In such an environment, I come to understand your goals for mental wellness and the challenges you face. With this understanding, we work together to establish a plan for treatment that meets your individual needs. Using the plan as a starting point, we become collaborators on your journey to wellness. As collaborators, we work together to help you reach your treatment goals. Since positive mental wellness is connected to our physical well-being, we will consider aspects of mental wellness such as sleep hygiene, healthy nutrition, and an active lifestyle as part of treatment.
I am here to listen to your story, provide mental wellness education and to be a support. Because everyone has had unique experiences during their lifetimes, I believe that there is no one way to approach counseling, therefore I prefer an eclectic approach. A person may be benefited from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy, a person-centered approach, as well as other approaches. I also believe that creative approaches, such as drawing, play, writing and music and other expressive approaches can be a helpful supplement to talk-therapy.
I earned my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Kean University in Union, NJ. My bachelor’s degree was earned at Fairleigh Dickinson University where I majored in psychology. I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in New Jersey. I serve as a volunteer peer group facilitator at a grief support center that serves grieving children, teens, young adults and their caregivers. I am also a member of several counseling professional associations and am a National Certified Counselor.
I my spare time I enjoy hiking, nature photography and watercolor painting. I love to walk for fitness and plan to visit as many National Parks as possible while I remain on the planet. I am a lifelong resident of New Jersey.

Therapy isn't Radio. We don't need to constantly fill the air with sounds. Sometimes, when it's quiet, surprising things happen.” - Mary Pipher, Letters to a Young Therapist
Changing patterns of behavior, ways of thinking, and relating to others can be difficult and requires patience and understanding. I strive to provide an open space where it is okay to share your thoughts and feelings without the worry of being judged. My approach involves creating an integrative and individualized plan to fit each client’s therapeutic needs. My overall goal is to assist in the facilitation of client success.
Education and Experience:I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and National Board Certified Counselor (NCC). I received my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology from Kean University, Masters (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nathan Weiss Graduate College, Kean University. My desire to become a therapist came about during my adolescence, when a close relative was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Viewing his journey propelled me into the helping field. Over the years, I have gained a wide range of experience working in outpatient, partial care, and higher education settings. The nature of my experience includes providing individual, family, and group therapy to a varied population (i.e. marital/couple's issues, depression, anxiety, academic problems, crisis intervention, addictions, and many more).
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and dog. I often spend time partaking in therapeutic dog trainings.

I completed my internship requirements, passed the National Counselor Exam, and now I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC). I have experience working with adolescents and adults who struggle from substance abuse or co-occurring disorders.
My approach to counseling varies from client to client. I do not believe that there is a “one size fits all”, cookie cutter approach to counseling. Each and every client has different needs, strengths, and backgrounds. Therefore, it is important to tailor counseling approaches to each client. I tend to focus on client strengths and abilities as much as possible. Empowering my clients is something I can incorporate into all counseling styles! I also use a person-centered approach as much as possible in order to enhance empowerment and allow my clients to take an active role in creating and achieving their goals. I meet all clients where they are, in terms of treatment acceptance and goals in order to build strong rapport.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I like reading and I always challenge myself to continue learning. I enjoy spending time outside and enjoying all that nature has to offer!

Specialties: Including, but not limited to: Adult and Pediatric Weight Management, Weight Loss, Health and Wellness Coaching, Behavior Modification, Lifestyle Changes, Mindful Eating, Intuitive Eating, Disease Prevention, Prediabetes and Diabetes Management, Management of Cardiovascular Diseases, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Bariatric Weight Loss Counseling, Gastrointestinal Diseases including Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Food Allergies, Food Intolerances, Eating Disorders, Nutrition Support, Medical Nutrition Therapy, Exercise Nutrition, Grocery Store Tours, Food Shopping on a Budget, Menu Planning, Supervision of Food Preparation, Bariatric Support, Cancer, Celiac Disease, Chronic Fatigue, Digestive Issues, Emotional Wellbeing, Geriatric, Gluten Free, Health Coaching, Osteoporosis, Pediatric Nutrition (ages 5 and up), Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Stress Management, Vegan, Vegetarian, Weight Management, Non-Diet Approach
I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a bachelor’s degree in dietetics from Montclair State University, where I also completed my dietetic internship. With an internship that was heavily focused on medical nutrition therapy, I gained valuable experience working with a diverse patient population, both inpatient and outpatient. Currently employed as a Clinical Dietitian, I continue to work towards improving the wellbeing of my patients through individualized education.
My philosophy is patient-centered care; my goal is to establish trust through open communication so that, as a team, we can develop the individualized steps necessary to achieve optimal nutritional health and wellbeing. I believe that consciously and consistently making small and realistic behavior changes in the present will lead to lasting changes for the future. I am here to provide the tools and evidence-based nutrition information to get you there. With encouragement, motivation, and accountability, everyone can reach their nutrition goal.
When I’m not working, you can definitely find me in the kitchen finding ways to reinvent left-overs or making quick new dishes with “old” ingredients. I’m also passionate about exercise- I could be in a yoga studio, a gym, or running the parks and roads. I’m currently training for my 3rd half marathon and am certain there will be more races in the future! And when I finally relax, I love to spend time with my twin sister watching scary movies!

Children (12 & up), Preteen/Teens, Adults, Individuals, Couples, Family
I received my Masters of the Arts in Counseling Psychology from Centenary University. Prior to that I received my Bachelors of the Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with minors in both Early Childhood Education and Psychology from Lock Haven University. I also obtained my Cosmetology license while I was in high school. I have experience working in a private outpatient facility with adolescents and adults. I took the last 3 years off to raise my daughter and work part time from home for Amazon.
My goal is to encourage and guide all of my patients to achieve their goals no matter how big or how small they might be. Based on my own personal experiences, I am passionate about guiding my patients to become a healthier version of themselves inside and out, as well as to encourage them to believe in themselves. I like to engage my patients in their own treatment process because it’s easy for someone else to tell you what to do, but when you do it on your own or with guidance, you become more aware and accountable. I believe that there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy as everyone has their own unique stories. The therapeutic approaches that I gravitate towards include cognitive behavioral, client centered, interpersonal, and exposure therapy. “To change your life you have to change yourself. To change yourself you have to change your mindset.” -Wilson Kanadi
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, baking/cooking and fitness/yoga. I am also a big lover of coffee and "me" time because both are a must!

Empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity are at the heart of my work with each of my clients.

Through the use of individualized treatment plans, my goal is to support my client along his/her unique path towards success.
