Education & Experience

I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Villanova University (1997) and am state licensed in New Jersey since 2002. I began my counseling career working in community and school-based settings and gained a wealth of training and experience in grief and loss counseling and trauma work. Specifically, during 2001-2004, I worked with those affected by the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks and as such was immersed in trauma-informed training and clinical development. In 2010 I transitioned to private practice and I currently own and operate a private group mental health practice as well as still maintaining a clinical caseload. I am recently trained as an EMDR therapist, after having experienced the profound value of EMDR firsthand. In addition, I am a Certified Mindfulness teacher which I incorporate in my treatment sessions when relevant.
