I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey with additional certifications in Integrative Mental Health and Sex-Informed Therapy. I received my Masters of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I am passionate about helping individuals & couples transform their pain into purpose through using a holistic approach to Counseling that integrates various elements from the healing professions, such as psychotherapy, spiritual direction, life-coaching, and the use of complimentary approaches to support the mind and body in healing. My hope is that you will recognize that you are created with a specific purpose, and that your experiences serve to empower you to learn about your strengths and develop the tools to overcome your challenges. During our work together, I utilize an integrative style that blends several state-of-the-art treatments into psychotherapy including Brainspotting, Trauma-Focused Informed approaches including TF-CBT, Polyvagal, Internal Family Systems, Pragmatic Psychodynamic therapy, mindful practices, faith-based practices and exposure and response prevention to empower you to live your best life.

I believe that the best counseling is done with a genuine and direct approach that includes psychoeducation to empower you to gain insights and motivates you to heal. To that end, I collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan specific to your psychological, physical and spiritual needs.
