- LCSW
I am a clinical social worker licensed in New Jersey and Florida with over 10 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, chronic illness, and end of life issues. I’ve also work with individuals who may self harm by cutting or burning themselves.
My counseling style is warm, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and acceptance commitment therapy. I tailor my approach based on each client’s unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to make a change in your life. If you’re ready to make a change, I’ll help walk you through the process and provide support every step of the way.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
