Therapy Services

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey, I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supplemented with CBT and DBT skills, to help clients live in the present and work with thoughts & feelings in healthy and adaptive ways. My approach focuses on helping clients develop psychological flexibility and resilience, resulting in better relationships and enhanced focus.

I have advanced competencies in treating substance use disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, and trauma- or stressor-related disorders.
For clients with severe or chronic conditions, I collaborate with psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive care.

Befriend Your Mind in Therapy

Therapy is more than talking about problems. It’s a structured, collaborative process designed to help you develop new coping skills, change unhelpful patterns of behavior, support personal growth, and increase self-understanding.
