I am a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have clinical background, working individually with children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient settings. I specialize in helping individuals navigate a wide range of challenges, including anxiety disorders, depression, behavioral issues, and peer relationship difficulties, and more.
My approach is client-centered, empathetic, and collaborative. I create a safe space where individuals can explore their emotions and challenges at their own pace. Drawing from modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, I tailor my approach to each client's needs. My goal is to empower clients to build resilience, gain insights, and develop skills to navigate life's challenges, fostering healing and positive, lasting change.
In our sessions, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your emotions, and the challenges you're facing. Together, we'll work on developing coping strategies, gaining valuable insights, and building resilience. You’ll learn practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other difficulties, helping you approach life with greater confidence and clarity. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can foster healing, personal growth, and lasting positive change.
