I work with children ten-years-old and older, adolescents, and adults
As a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained in family systems. I utilize Emotionally Focused Couples and Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Play Therapy. I always tailor my approach based on the individual needs of the client, and I believe therapy should be a collaborate experience where I am helping the client along their path––not just directing them.
I earned my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seton Hall University and my Bachelors in Literature and Creative Writing from Ramapo College. Post-Masters, I have extensive experience working with couples and families, as well as individuals suffering from substance abuse, mental health disorders, and trauma. I also have extensive experience working with a diverse clientele, ranging in ages, sexual identities, races, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
In my spare time, I enjoy running, weight-training, yoga, reading, writing, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.
