Thank you for stopping by! Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with can be challenging. Here’s a little about me to help you see if we’d be a good fit therapeutically.
I’ve been working as a licensed counselor for over 8 years now. I try my best to help break the stigma surrounding mental health through educating people with increased knowledge and understanding, learning how to become less judgmental, and most importantly, encouraging kindness through it all.
I initially became licensed in NY and have moved around a bit since then, now licensed in multiple states, including NJ and PA. I treat clients of all ages from kiddos as young as 9 all the way through adulthood, which keeps me on my toes and makes my work exciting. I do exclusively work with children under 13 in person while ages 13+ are able to meet via telehealth should they choose.
I know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, unheard and isolated. I’ve cringed seeing misrepresentation of mental health problems in the media and in everyday conversation. I strive to do my best to understand your story, to hear you, to support you in feeling a genuine connection and develop an understanding that you don’t have to be alone in this.
Mental health has always been something I value, something I prioritize in my own life and encourage those I care about to do as well. When I’m not working, you can typically find me doing just that, sticking to daily schedules as best as I can to promote a sense of healthy routine and cultivating relaxation and tranquility through exercise and getting outside and in touch with nature. I love to cook, bake, attend live concerts, spend time with my family and friends, and watch sports.
I’m more than a therapist, I’m a person too. Just as you are more than “the thing you’re coming to therapy for” and I look forward to learning more about you.
