Are you a woman having trouble navigating relationships? Do you often feel the pain of loneliness and so badly want to feel connected and loved? Is the dating world extremely stressful and confusing? Or maybe you are a woman feeling lost, stuck and overwhelmed with life. Do you feel like you're running on auto-pilot, feeling as though you are walking through a pool of molasses to get through the day, wanting more meaning in your life? Maybe you're consistently feeling badly about yourself; you are no stranger to negative thoughts. You can't seem to figure out why you're feeling this way or how to go about making changes.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in clinical work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I view my role as assisting my clients to more fully realize and become their authentic selves. Often, life events occur that prevent us from feeling strong, brave, satisfied, or even present in the world. We may become disconnected from others as well as ourselves. My passion is supporting clients as they grow, heal, play, discover, and connect within their therapy sessions and in their lives. I provide a safe, secure space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, wishes, and fears.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

We can all benefit from mindfulness and self compassion. Did you grow up with a narcissist or a substance abuser? Have you ever suspected that you were being emotionally abused by a parent, partner (current or former), boss or friend? Are you always second guessing yourself? If you find yourself stuck repeating the same mistakes over and over again in relationships at work or in life, you're not alone. If you're feeling guilty, sad or anxious a lot of the time, therapy can help. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse survivors.

My work combines psychoanalytic therapy with helping people learn how to listen to the unique and creative way in which our body carries wisdom, information and unprocessed experiences. It is important for us to tell the story of what has happened to us and to have our stories held in a compassionate manner. If we already know our story and find ourselves still stuck in old behaviors, thoughts and patterns, then learning to listen and experience how our bodies hold meaning for what's still unresolved or unknown is a valuable skill.
