Introduction

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in the State of New Jersey. My clinical interests and areas of expertise include working with individuals with complex trauma and a wide range of mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders struggling with emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, self-injurious behaviors, and low self-esteem. I utilize a client-centered, trauma-informed approach with a broad range of evidenced-based interventions to meet the individual needs of each client and incorporate evidence-based techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, Solution-focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients explore, recognize, and foster change.
