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 received my masters from Kean University in their dual masters program for Licensed Professional Counselors as well as School Counseling. I have worked in various settings including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, intensive out patient programs (substance abuse and mental health) as well as dual diagnosis partial care programs. I am a passionate advocate for eating disorder awareness. I serve as a Chapter Leader for a local eating disorder volunteer group, and participate in volunteer events with the National Eating Disorder Association. Recently, I became certified by NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association) as a Body Group Facilitator. I facilitate groups for young women in college and high school about rejecting the appearance ideal and that promote body positivity for all shapes and sizes. I have also worked in college settings as a mentor for undergraduate students on academic probation. I advised students on things like striking a school/work/life balance, academic achievement, and time management. I have also worked at middle and high schools as a school counselor on all issues including bullying, LGBT, behavioral and academic problems, etc.
Therapy should not just be about helping clients survive, but I want all my clients to thrive. I am all about empowering clients to live their best life possible. No matter how long you have been struggling with your issues, I am confident we can work together to come up with results that make you feel inspired. The goal of all my sessions is for my clients to leave the room feeling better than when they walked in. I am approachable, kind, and caring. I understand it is a big first step to come to counseling, and I commend you for taking that leap of faith. My approach is humanistic, and I believe a therapist should have unconditional regard for their clients. Mindfulness is a hobby of mine and I run meditation groups.
In my spare time, I like to drink coffee (a must!), jog and play with my Beagle named Gordon Ramsay.

Specialties: Children/Adolescents, Adults, Anxiety, Depression, ADD/ADHD, Attachment issues, Self-Harm, Self-Esteem, Identity Development, Suicidal Ideation, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, Developmental Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Stress Management, School issues, Peer Relationships, Coping skills, Emotional and Behavioral issues, Family Conflict, Domestic Abuse, Trauma and PTSD, LGBT, Grief, Marital/Premarital, Substance Abuse
I received my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Felician University. I am a Licensed Associate Counselor and have a variety of experience working with youth who struggle with mental health/emotional issues, behavioral challenges, substance use or developmental disabilities in the home setting.
I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their full potential. I like to call my clinical focus a “rainbow”, as I believe in multiple approaches for treatment. I believe in being Solution Focused & Person Centered, which focuses on empathy, being genuine and in the moment with clients, all while helping them be goal-directed and focused on what they want to achieve.
I like to be creative in my therapy approach and have a philosophy for creating healthy relationships, as I feel this maintains a stress-free environment when working with clients. “When you change your mind, you can change your behavior”. I believe in meeting clients where they are to help them move along their journey. My passion for promoting positive relationships through simple practices is where I can utilize the “Nurtured Heart Approach” as it is about capturing everyday moments and reflecting them back to clients in ways that celebrate their great decisions, judgment and wisdom.

Experience and Education:I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kean University. From there, I went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. 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!
