Throughout my decade of experience in psychology, I have treated a wide range of mental health concerns, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, phobias, substance misuse and abuse, interpersonal conflict, self-harm, and suicidality. I also carry a specialty developed during my time with Rutgers Athletics, where I worked with NCAA Division I athletes and coaches across many different sports. I work with high performers not only in athletic settings but also in educational and career settings. Whether you are a student, accomplished professional, musician, athlete, artist, writer, or in any field that demands high performance, anxiety can be a significant obstacle. I can assure you that you are not alone, and I am here to help. ​I also have a solid commitment to serving the LGBTQ+ community. I have dedicated much of my career to researching LGBTQ+ students, athletes, and professionals. My research has resulted in several professional presentations and papers focused on how factors such as minority stress, substance use, and coping influence the mental health of these populations. Indeed, I am dedicated to providing an inclusive, culturally sensitive, and supportive psychotherapy environment for adults of all ages, races, sexualities, genders, and abilities. I approach my work with humility. I can always improve my understanding of your world, which may differ greatly from my own. ​As a clinician, the transformative power of self-awareness inspires me. My approach to therapy is integrative, blending cognitive, behavioral, skill-based, and relational approaches. I may work with you on performance enhancement, help you explore your identity, and help you reflect on your motivations and barriers to personal growth. I believe in making the unconscious conscious to foster meaningful change, especially when this occurs within a safe, caring, supportive, and, at times, challenging therapeutic relationship. I am committed to helping you achieve your fullest potential. Please reach out to embark on an insightful, healing, and growthful journey unique to you. I will be both a teammate and a coach. My expertise always relies on our close collaboration. ​I look forward to meeting you. ​“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.” — Carl Jung
