You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

Specialized therapy for women, couples in crisis, and families navigating change.

How I Work

Therapy doesn’t need to be overwhelming to be effective.

My work is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored—never one-size-fits-all. I specialize in supporting high-functioning women navigating ADHD and couples working through relationship transitions, helping clients identify emotional patters, reduce friction, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Whether you are seeking focused, short-term support or a longer-term therapeutic relationship, we’ll work at a pace that feels steady and sustainable.

A Space to Slow Down

Psychotherapy is a place to pause, take stock, and work through what’s been weighing on you— so you can function with less effort and more intention in your daily life.

 

In-person and virtual options

I offer teletherapy throughout New Jersey, with limited in-person availability. Early morning and evening appointments are available to accommodate busy professionals, parents, and couples.
