I have been using a combination of talk therapy and EMDR with great success with my clients. Most clients come to work with me to resolve issues around trauma, anxiety, relationships, and identifying and reducing triggers and blocks in daily life. I have over a decade of experience working successfully with people from many different backgrounds.
Therapy doesn’t have to be boring or feel like work. My goal as a therapist is to have a great conversation with you and try and help make the hard work seem less difficult, feel less painful, and even sometimes make it enjoyable. I view it as my responsibility to use my empathy, experience, personality, and even sense of humor as tools to help you make your breakthroughs in therapy.
No matter how qualified a therapist is, if you don’t feel comfortable with them, you may not get the most of your time and energy spent in therapy. I engage my clients from the very beginning, acting as a partner on your path forward. I offer a conversational, friendly style that blends approaches depending upon on your individual needs. I also offer busy people high-feedback sessions if they seek a more direct approach.
I have worked with clients from all walks of life and all backgrounds. It has been a privilege to meet and work with every single person, couple, and family that I have known in my career. I look forward to seeing clients each day and consider myself lucky to be able to work in this field. A wonderful supervisor of mine once said years ago that being a therapist is the best job in the world. I agree with her 100%. When I go to work each day I get to be a resource and a support for people who are looking to heal, clarify, redesign, and make important changes in their lives. I strive to bring this energy to each and every individual I work with.
I hold a Master’s of Social Work degree from University of Southern California. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) by the State of New Jersey. I have been working directly with clients for about a decade. I am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut.
