You seem to have it all together on the outside. You live by the golden rule, working hard, extending compassion while taking care of everyone but yourself. You say, “I am fine,” when you know you are not. The fear of judgment or something terrible happening weighs heavily on your mind. High standards, whether self-imposed or external, feel impossible to meet, leaving you hindered and overwhelmed. You feel stuck in negative cycles, distracting yourself from uncomfortable feelings through overworking, shopping, or drinking too much. Constantly in survival mode, you experience stress, anxiety, fatigue, confusion, and overwhelm.

Do you ever find yourself thinking about food all of the time? Do you feel out of control around food or feel guilty eating certain foods? Do you ever eat in private or in hiding? Do you constantly think about your next meal? Do you have a hard time identifying your hunger of fullness cues? Do you struggle with trusting your body? Do you feel shame or regret after you eat? Does your fear of weight gain dictate your food choices? Do you often find yourself trying a new "diet"? If this sounds like you, you are not alone.

Are you unhappy, hurt, anxious or angry? Is your life or relationship in a bad place? Everything you tried isn't working? I'm here to help! While on a life journey toward meaning & happiness, sometimes we need to sort through the issues that hold us back or are a heavy weight to carry. Therapy is a place to do that sorting: in a safe & trusting environment, we go through our traveler's bag, keep what's our strengths & passions, resolve the entangled conflicts, and maybe leave behind what no longer serves us within our hearts. I would love to be your guide in this journey.

It's time to totally shake it up. Forget what you think you know about therapy or what you need to do to change your life... Making that level of change means confronting Truth and fundamentally changing yourself. I won't sugarcoat it and I certainly won't lie to you: I will tell you what you need to know and guide you toward making the proper choices in your life. And I'll prove it to you right now: I tell you outright that I can't fix you. No one can. The only person that has that sort of power over you IS you. This involves hard choices in learning how to manage your life. And I will stand beside you every step of the way.

Coming from a marriage and family therapy training background, I tend to view client issues from a systemic and trauma informed lens. I am passionate about helping you learn how to manage your current stressors, process past trauma and give you the tools you will need to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. I want to help you grow and maybe even elevate your self esteem along the way! I guarantee that you will leave my office feeling at least 1 % better if not more! I like to challenge my clients with self reflective questions, while also being sensitive to their trauma, by going at their pace.

I received my Master of Social Work degree from Rutgers University and my Violence Against Women and Children certification from Rutgers University. I deeply care about helping clients who have experienced traumatic events.

At an early age, I realized that helping others brings me joy and fulfillment. Seeing a smile on my clients’ faces and learning they are feeling better is the greatest reward for my work.
