Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in Jersey City, NJ

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of experience supporting children, teens, young adults, adults, and caregivers in managing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and school-related stress. I specialize in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, helping parents and guardians develop stronger parenting skills and foster healthier caregiver-child relationships. I also provide care to individuals managing bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder. My background includes peer support, crisis intervention, children’s partial hospitalization, and school-based therapy.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University, where I specialized in trauma and the treatment of children and families. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solutions-focused therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to meet my clients’ needs.

I know how much courage it takes to seek help, and I honor the strength it takes to make the first step. I work with clients to identify their unique goals and needs while meeting them where they are in their journey. My goal is to walk alongside you as you take steps toward healing, resilience, and a brighter future.
