- LPC
I am a licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients overcome symptoms associated with OCD, PTSD, depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, motivation for life changes, self-esteem, and confidence.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Exposure and Response Prevention therapy which is a therapy mainly used for anxiety, OCD, and phobias. I utilize a person-centered approach which meets you where you are and provides you with unconditional positive regard and acceptance.
It is an honor for me to walk alongside you and support the changes you would like to see in your life. It takes strength and courage to start the counseling process however you have already taken the first step! I look forward to meeting you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
