As the supervisor for Sexual Abuse Treatment in Warren County, NJ, I found my calling working with people dealing with sexual abuse. I also have a passion for helping those working through trauma. Utilizing evidence-based practices allows me to achieve successful and positive outcomes for all my clients. On top of my vast experience with trauma, my expertise expands to women's issues, couples therapy, and chronic illness. I help clients overcome their daily struggles by providing the proper tools and coping skills necessary for growth and healing.
