about me
Life can be a lot.
You don't have to figure it out all alone.
Growing up isn’t always easy. Between school, friendships, family, relationships, social pressures, and figuring out who you are and where you’re headed, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself. Whether you’re navigating middle school, the teen years, college, or young adulthood, you deserve a space where you can be yourself, feel understood, and work through whatever life brings your way.
I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for children, teens, and young adults to explore their feelings, navigate challenges, and build the confidence and skills to feel more like themselves. I offer in-person therapy in Cranford, NJ, as well as virtual sessions.
I work with young people experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, questions about identity, school or career stress, relationship challenges, and LGBTQ+ concerns. Whether you're struggling with big emotions, feeling pressure to meet expectations, navigating a major life transition, or simply trying to figure things out, therapy can help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find a way forward.
A therapist who understands the challenges of growing up.
As a licensed therapist with a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and a Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University, I bring clinical expertise and a deep understanding of the real-world challenges young people face. With 20 years of experience as a school social worker, I understand the academic, social, emotional, and family pressures that can affect young people at every stage of development.
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused approaches to create a personalized experience based on each client's needs, strengths, and goals.
You don't have to have it all figured out to start therapy.
Therapy is a place to talk openly, make sense of what you're experiencing, and learn practical ways to navigate life's challenges. Together we'll work on developing coping skills, managing difficult emotions, navigating relationships, and building confidence to help you feel better equipped to handle whatever comes your way. Whether you're reaching out for yourself or looking for support for your child, we'll work together to build coping skills, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
You don't need to wait until things feel overwhelming to ask for support. When you're ready, I'm here to help.
Let's take the next step together.
