I see the high achievers.
The ones who perform flawlessly on the outside, but quietly wrestle with perfectionism, anxiety, or feeling disconnected. Who manage, but barely breathe. Whether you’re a driven adult, a perfectionistic teen, or a parent navigating your child’s overwhelming feelings, I’m here to help you break free from the pressure and reconnect with what truly matters.

 

My view on therapy
Therapy can feel vulnerable. But it can also be courageous, grounding, and radically life-changing. In our work together, therapy becomes a place where you can finally stop “doing” and start being. We’ll identify what keeps you stuck, practice tools to regulate the nervous system, build stronger emotional skills, and dismantle that inner voice telling you “not enough.”

My approach is active, compassionate, and science-based. I integrate rooted methods like CBT, exposure and response prevention (ERP), DBT, and mindfulness, anchored in real-world practice. I’m present in the room, asking the tough questions, sharing reflections, and celebrating every step forward.

 

Who I Work With

• High-achieving adults and teens wrestling with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or identity confusion

• Anxious, emotionally sensitive kids who struggle with worry, overwhelm, or big feelings

• New and expecting parents facing perinatal anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD

• Parents committed to supporting their child’s emotional development and building a calmer, more connected family life

Clients often arrive feeling like something has to change - whether they’re bracing for another day of performance or watching their child shut down again. If you’re ready for space, clarity, and renewed connection, we’ll walk that path together.

 

My Style

• Active and engaged: I don’t just listen—I participate. I reflect, challenge, and offer tools tailored to you.

• Warm and real: We’ll do the meaningful work, but there’s space for honesty, humor, and humanity.

• Strengths-based & solution-oriented: We build on what works—inside you and at home—to create sustainable change.

• Evidence-rooted: We use proven methods (DBT, ACT, mindfulness, EFT) to unlock clarity, resilience, and confidence.

From our very first session, you’ll notice the difference. You’ll feel heard. You’ll feel seen. And slowly—but surely—you’ll feel more like yourself again.

Getting Started

If this resonates—if you’re ready to stop performing and start feeling, to calm anxiety, and reclaim connection—let’s begin. I’m honored to accompany you on that journey.

How I got here

I studied at Lafayette, earned my master’s at Penn, and completed my doctorate at Rutgers.. Before private practice I worked as a school psychologist in public and private schools, which is where I learned how differently anxiety shows up at nine than it does at thirty-nine.

I'm trained in exposure and response prevention, the gold-standard treatment for OCD, and I'm listed in the International OCD Foundation's provider directory. I completed Postpartum Support International's perinatal mental health training, and I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method.

My work has been featured in Newsweek, Forbes Health, Verywell Mind, Psychology Today, Bustle and Psych Central, among others.
