& Online Therapy in NJ


If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unheard, or just not like yourself lately, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I specialize in anxiety, trauma-informed care, and parent-child relationships, creating a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you better understand yourself, find your voice, and move toward what matters most to you.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and personalized to you. I offer a balance of structure and flexibility, using evidence-based tools while also making space for you to talk openly and move at your own pace. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s been weighing on you, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and build practical skills to help you feel more confident and grounded.


I’ve spent years working with children, teens, adults, and families through challenging situations, and I understand how important it is to have a therapist you can genuinely feel comfortable talking to. Building a trusting relationship where you feel safe, respected, and understood is at the heart of my work.
