Meet the Team

Life can look successful on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside. If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, unresolved trauma, major life transitions such as divorce or separation, or the emotional weight of chronic health conditions like Type 1 Diabetes, you don’t have to carry it alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey, I provide virtual therapy for adults who hold significant responsibility. I work with professionals, caregivers, ministers, and leaders who often feel pressure to “hold it all together.” Many of my clients struggle with overthinking, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries while balancing demanding roles.

I offer a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space to process stress, identity, and life transitions like divorce or separation, with honesty and depth. For those who value their faith, therapy can thoughtfully integrate spiritual beliefs in a way that feels grounding and authentic. I also welcome individuals questioning their sexuality, navigating identity, or working to reconcile faith and orientation. My goal is to create an environment where every part of you feels respected, understood, and supported.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors your values, identity, and lived experience. 

Areas of Focus

✔ Anxiety & Chronic Stress

My Approach

My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and attachment-based trauma care. I combine practical coping tools with deeper pattern exploration so you can reduce anxiety while also addressing the root causes of overwhelm.

Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and intentionally paced. I help you:

✔ Regulate anxiety and emotional reactivity
✔ Strengthen boundaries without guilt
✔ Understand long-standing relational patterns
✔ Develop sustainable coping strategies
✔ Build clarity and steadiness in decision-making

For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into therapy in a clinically grounded way.
