I believe that the most effective therapy awakens clients to the knowledge and wisdom that they already possess but are not in touch with. By tapping into their individual strengths, clients can begin to heal from past experiences and overcome barriers to living and loving fully. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist who specializes in showing both adults and adolescents how to reach their full potential . My practice is strictly virtual these days, which allows clients to skip the commute and connect with me from the comfort of their home or workplace.

I am proud to serve both the English and Spanish speaking communities. I keenly focus on children, adolescents, and adults for individually tailored therapy sessions. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology/ Psychiatric Rehabilitation from Kean University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. My passion for helping others has led me to work with the underprivileged population of NJ & NYC. I provide various clinical and evidence-based mental health approaches as I have been trained to work with complex anger management issues.
