I work with children, teens, adults, and families.
When people think of therapy they tend to imagine a scary place where they have to tap into themselves to open up to strangers. I became a therapist because I wanted to be that safe place for someone to feel comfortable opening up. Everyone has a story. Each person has the right to feel heard, not judged, safe, and understood. My goal is to help them reach that satisfaction in a safe non-judgmental zone.

Paramus, NJ 07652
I started my career in the school system working with children in grades K-12, where I gained knowledge and expertise in helping families to address behavioral and mental health issues.
Sometimes we need an objective person to talk to about our problems and stresses. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, open and honest space for clients to discover personal challenges and help with personal growth. I am compassionate, respectful and empathetic to my clients’ issues, and work to help them create and support healthy relationships, gain clarity in life, and achieve wellness and overall life satisfaction. I believe everyone is capable of living a more meaningful, happy and fulfilling life.
