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.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

I provide diagnostic assessment and treatment for adult populations with a broad range of mental health disorders, specializing in the treatment of anxiety and trauma-related disorders. My goals for all patients are two-fold: 1) to help mitigate symptoms in the immediate using cognitive-behavioral strategies and 2) to help patients identify and overcome unhelpful behavioral and relational patterns for long-term symptom reduction and life enhancement.

In my practice I typically work with adults individually (in one-on-one sessions). Many of my clients have experienced problems with mood, particularly anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are needing assistance with difficult relationships, trauma recovery, transitional life issues, and stress management.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Ohio. I received my Masters of Science in mental health counseling at the State University of New York at Oswego. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My focus as a counselor is working with children, the treatment of mood disorders, relationships, parenting, personality disorders and more. I am versed utilizing techniques such as non-directive client-centered therapy , as well as other counseling methods.

I believe in the power of empathy, warmth, and acceptance. I work with my clients to help find their unique strengths and voice. I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating, as well as orthorexia, and ARFID. I also have experience treating anxiety, depression, self-harm, self-esteem, body dysmorphia, relationship concerns, and adjustment disorders which so often co-exist with eating disorders. My goal is to use a multi-dimensional approach using evidence-based practices while ensuring that you can share your story and experiences in a safe space.

Making the decision to get profoundly honest and commit to change takes a lot of strength and courage. If you've landed on this being ultimately the only way to start making positive shifts in your life, we have the potential for a rewarding relationship. Are you having difficulty communicating in a way that leads to progress? Is setting boundaries or consistently maintaining them a challenge? Are you a people-pleaser or perfectionist? Can you accept and give feedback in a way that feels productive? If these are areas of struggle, let's figure out ways of maneuvering through these issues together.

Each day it seems that life presents a new challenge, often causing us to question certain decisions that we have made or to consider new paths that we would like to explore. My goal is to gain a clear picture of each individual's needs, explore new and more effective ways of problem solving, and help each individual develop greater insight and growth. I believe the relational component of therapy is essential and serves at the foundation for establishing trust, compassion, empathy, and respect. I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, adults and families.

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

You are a woman who has been devastated by grief over pregnancy loss, infertility, or postpartum depression or anxiety. You desperately want to find someone to talk to about how alone and sad you feel. You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry lately. Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be moving on without you. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again. Society glamorizes pregnancy and motherhood which can make you feel even more alone and misunderstood. If you see one more pregnancy announcement or social media post about the happiness of motherhood, you might lose it!

Taking care of yourself is the best way to care for others. Thank you for taking the first step in caring for yourself by seeking therapy.

Approachable, warm-hearted LGBTQ+ identifying and affirming counselor and clinical supervisor with a passion for neurodivergence, religious trauma, and trauma-informed care with 14 years of experience.

I help clients reach the goals they value. This often includes taking time to connect to what you feel is important to you, even if it feels like you’ve ‘lost’ certain good parts of yourself or things you used to enjoy. Whether it's self-care, relationships, or changing situations that feel ‘stuck,’ we can turn hope into a good life. In therapy, we can better understand what roadblocks or patterns need to change. We can adjust expectations, set boundaries, learning new strategies, from day one.
