Founder, Therapist
licensed in NJ + FL
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New Jersey, and a Level 1 Usui Reiki practitioner. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Neumann University, and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Kean University. I have over 9 years working in the field with experience in community non-profits, schools, an eating disorder treatment program, and private practice.
While I work primarily with individuals, I love family + couples therapy. I use a combination of emotion-focused, strengths based, + solution-focused approaches to provide you with tangible skills, while holding space for you to process through your feelings + create a balanced life.
My passion is making therapeutic topics relatable, understandable, and maybe even a little bit fun! My favorite 'therapy-isms' are "pay attention on purpose" + "uncomfortable ≠ bad."
