About

I am licensed in New Jersey with 30 years of professional work experience in both mental health and addictions. I help clients learn to cope with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, Post traumatic stress disorder and depression. I also work with life transitions and self empowerment. My therapeutic modality is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing . My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and motivational therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you.
