Taking the step to seek counseling is the most powerful thing that a person can do to better their lives. I believe that if a person is willing to get help, they are already on the road to recovery. Every client is unique and I work with my clients in order to figure out what method of treatment will work best for them and their situation. I have a passion for wellness and helping others reach their goals. I believe that the counselor and client relationship is one of the most important aspects of counseling. I strive to have a very trusting relationship with my clients and to make therapy a time for them to express whatever they may need. My goal as a therapist is to serve as a guide for my clients. I want to go on their journey with them and will be there for support whenever they need.
I have a background in many different areas of health. In addition to my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth, I am also a certified Yoga Instructor and a Certified Holistic Health Coach. I received my Health Coach certification from Integrative Nutrition in 2013. I believe that health is multidimensional and that in order for a person to be truly healthy, we must pay attention to the body, mind, and spirit. When working with clients, I aim to help them do this in order for them to reach their goals.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, going to the gym, and trying new restaurants. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and spending time with my friends and family. As with everything else, life is about balance, having fun and doing the things you enjoy is essential to a happy life!

By incorporating Mindfulness and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I work with clients to help strengthen their sense of self in order to persevere and achieve their therapeutic goals. Having empathy, patience, understanding, and passion helps me create a safe environment for my clients where they feel free of judgement, which helps my clients thrive from the therapeutic relationship. While therapy can be overwhelming and sometimes cause anxiety due to a possibly new environment, my goal is to continue to remain non-judgmental and play a supportive and caring role throughout the therapeutic journey.
I received my BS in Psychology from Muhlenberg College, and my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Villanova University. I have specialized in counseling individuals who have been incarcerated and those who have addiction and mental health concerns as well as individuals who are working through the grief process. I have experience working with clients in various levels of care – rehabilitation, partial care, intensive outpatient and outpatient. I have mainly worked with the adult population of diverse cultural backgrounds (ages 18 and older). While I tailor each counseling experience to my clients, I generally integrate Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
My interests outside the office include playing with my dog, Bella, walking the reservoir, and exercising which are all part of my personal care routine. I also enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends as well as hiking and horseback riding.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults after receiving my Master of Arts in Counseling and Bachelors of Arts in Criminal Justice from Kean University. Currently, I am a doctoral student at Walden University. Certified in various areas in education, I have worked as a Special Education teacher and have extensive experience working with individuals on the Autism spectrum.
I will use a combination of techniques in the framework of the following; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed, and Person-Centered with understanding the importance of the client playing an important role in his or her own recovery.
I believe the utmost importance is creating a feeling of safety, mutual respect, empathizing with not only what is spoken, but also what is left unsaid, but still present and felt. My commitment is to get where my clients are coming from and to understand what is important to them. As a therapist I hold these qualities to be crucial to a therapeutic relationship, transformation and healing. These are attributes I value and offer to clients in our work together. Effective psychotherapy is not simply talking about your problems. It is about working towards solutions for the things you can change and accepting the things you cannot change. In essence the goal of psychotherapy is to help you "weather" the storms of life with a greater sense of calmness and confidence so that you can continue to grow and evolve. During the work emerges out this quality of interaction and your specific goals.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in the Arts of Psychology from Kean University in 2014. I went on to Monmouth University for graduate school and graduated with my Master’s Degree in the Science of Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2017. I am a member of Chi Sigma Iota, the international honor society for counselors, and Psi Chi, the international honor society in psychology. I believe in a humanistic approach to treatment and utilize integrated treatment modalities including but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, psycho-educational approaches, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and evidence-based modalities.
Taking the step to see a therapist is an impactful decision, and I believe if you are willing to reach out for help, it is my duty to reciprocate and give my undivided attention to assisting you with your needs. I will provide you with a safe, judgment free space to discuss your hopes, dreams, and goals, as well as be there to help you through any hardships or curveballs life will throw you. The relationship between a counselor and a client is one of trust, diligence, and understanding, and I look forward to entering into this helping relationship with you!
In my spare time, I enjoy reading a good book with a nice cup of coffee, journaling, spending time with my loved ones and pets, and exploring the world.
