In the Chatham area of New Jersey, I strive to create a space of support and safety for my clients. I have a particular passion and expertise working with individuals and families struggling to enjoy their relationships with one another. Easing the tension between adolescents and young adults and their parents is another strength of mine. As we transition through life stages, establishing boundaries and privacy can be a confusing time. Having outside, non-biased support can help smooth that transition tremendously.

I work best with individuals in which are internally motivated for change, looking to work collaboratively alongside the individual to explore depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, substance abuse, and much more. My approach to therapy is person-centered, focused on offering a compassionate, yet straightforward approach to growth, which encourages individuals to think deeper and build connections that will assist them with a better understanding of the underlying issues. I believe in creating and modeling a healthy human connection to make those feel safe as possible in a time for many that can feel vulnerable.

Hello and welcome! I am licensed to provide services in PA, NJ, & OH. My area of expertise is working with adults as they navigate grief and loss experiences. I specialize in supporting individuals after sudden/unexpected death including SUD related death or loss of a child of any age. A loss does not require death. Living losses may encompass a major life transition that involves a shift in identity like new parenthood, a career change, or the end of a significant relationship. Grief is not linear and there is no right or wrong way to grieve; however, it is helpful to have guidance to validate and normalize your experiences.
