A thoughtful, active partner in your care

Understanding your experience is where we begin

I want therapy to be a place where you can discuss difficult experiences openly, without judgment, and work actively on what you would like to change.

Understanding the patterns behind a difficulty can be useful. Our work also involves finding ways to respond differently: approaching something you’ve been avoiding, making room for a difficult emotion, or trying a behavior that better reflects your priorities.

I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). We’ll adapt our work to your circumstances, establish goals together, and regularly discuss how therapy is going for you.

Research informs my work. Your life guides it

Alongside my practice, I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Fairleigh Dickinson University. My research examines behavioral interventions for co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, including among people living with chronic medical conditions.

This background shapes how I approach treatment: with an interest in what research can offer, an openness to feedback, and attention to the person in front of me.
