I'm a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual, couples and family therapy and divorce/family mediation.   My private practice is located in the Commons in Toms River, New Jersey.

I have over 15 years' experience in social work in a range of settings, including the Family Division of the Ocean County Courts; Emergency Services, Catholic Charities; and Caring Hospice.  As a private practitioner, I continue to work with a broad spectrum of clients.  I believe that every individual, couple or family is unique, but the problems and challenges of life are universal.  Among my areas of expertise are loss and grief, depression and anxiety, relationship issues, stepfamilies, and divorce or other life transitions.

As an interactive, solution-oriented therapist, my approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help my clients effectively address their personal life challenges.  I strive to provide a warm, supportive environment with a personalized approach tailored to each individual client.   I will work with you with respect and understanding to help you build on your strengths and attain the personal growth you are committed to achieving.
