I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Ridgewood, New Jersey, with over 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I specialize in working with adults and teenagers navigating trauma (particularly CPTSD), burnout, and loneliness. My practice offers a tailored, person-centered therapy service designed to meet the specific needs of each client.
My clinical approach integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Polyvagal Theory, both of which support clients in processing trauma and building internal safety. I offer therapy online through a secure teletherapy platform, serving clients across New Jersey and—soon—any U.S. state that participates in the Counseling Compact. To check if your state is included, please visit the American Counseling Association.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the psychological impact of marginalization and systemic stress. However, I don’t assume shared experience. My goal is always to listen deeply, with respect and humility, to each person’s unique perspective and lived reality.
My academic background includes a Master’s in Counseling & Psychotherapy (University of East London, 2010), and I began my career in mental health following a legal career in the UK. Alongside my clinical work, I’ve published research and authored several books on emotional resilience and psychological well-being:
For therapists and mental health professionals, I also offer clinical consultation. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss how we might work together.
