Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Approved Clinical Supervisor

Areas of Focus:

My specializations are: individual, family and group therapies. I offer clinical supervision and consultation services.

My area of expertise is working with adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, aggression, substance abuse, mood disorders, trauma, and oppositional defiant behaviors. In addition, I work with families who struggle with healthy communication, creating boundaries and conflict.

I have extensive experienced conducting psychological evaluations and assessments, as well as case conceptualization and treatment.

My extensive career work in residential treatment settings, private practice and assisting (youth and families) involved with NJ Department of Child Protection and Permanency provides me with an understanding of adolescents and their family needs.

Therapeutic Approach:

My approach can be best described as “no excuses let’s get to work” therapy. I believe in my client and assist them with reaching all their created goals. I offer caring and compassion into my work. I rely on both short and longer term techniques to help clients improve their overall health, increase self acceptance, and improve relationships. I offer support and self-direction, in addition to creating a safe place to explore and confront issues that impair their quality of life.
