- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in New Jersey with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma while fostering self-esteem and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing. My work is particularly focused on addressing social anxiety, isolation, communication difficulties, and personal empowerment.
Drawing from extensive clinical expertise, I support clients in their journey toward self-love, understanding life purpose, and working through feelings of guilt and shame. I am committed to providing affirming, personalized care that honors each individual's unique background and emotional needs.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strength-based, designed to help you build resilience, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and create positive transformative change in your life. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am dedicated to creating a safe, understanding space for your healing journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
