Populations: children ages 8 and up, teens, adults, and seniors
Over the past 8 years, I’ve gained experience in the mental health field by working in a residential treatment setting as well as outpatient mental health clinics. I’ve always been interested in the field of psychology and advocating for mental health. I earned my master’s degree from Walden University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Specialization in Trauma and Crisis.
When treating clients, I utilize multiple forms of therapy including person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Each client is unique and each approach should be tailored to what the client needs and where they are in their therapeutic journey. I understand that seeking therapy can be a scary and uncomfortable process so, I believe that creating a safe environment and forming a solid and strong rapport is essential. Once rapport is established, the client can begin to explore different issues and challenges at their own pace.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and my dog, Cole. I also enjoy art and like to paint and create glass mosaics. I love animals, music, movies, and finding humor in all of life’s ups and downs.

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.

As the title implies, a Patient Coordinator is the guide who literally takes your hand and leads you through the initial evaluation and serves as your advocate when the team of specialists design personalized treatment plans. Nobody should ever have to walk alone when learning about the treatment options and deciphering between myths and facts in healthcare. A Portrait Health Patient Coordinator will educate you and your family on the latest treatment options and will work to ensure that the focus remains on identifying the cause, and not merely treating the outward symptoms the patient is experiencing. Each Portrait Health Patient Coordinator is experienced in pediatric, adolescent, adult and senior care, and becomes your guide and advocate at Portrait Health Centers. Contact us to speak with a Patient Coordinator.
