Welcome

Welcome to my practice! This website is dedicated to encouraging the mental wellness of individuals and families. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey with over 12 years of experience. My specialties include work in the areas of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, trauma and crisis intervention. Likewise, I have experience assisting clients with stress management, work-life balance, parenting issues, depression, anxiety, adjustment, grief and loss. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other scientifically proven treatment strategies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

I completed a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Psychology at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in 2005, and a Master’s Degree in Social Work at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in 2009. I have worked with at-risk youth and families in educational settings, as well as the clinical setting.
