What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

My journey to becoming a mental health provider began with witnessing the profound impact of compassionate listening on mental and emotional well-being. This inspired me to help others find their inner strength and overcome challenges. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and holistic psychotherapy, including mindfulness. My career has included roles at St. Barnabas Hospital's Behavioral Health System, where I supported adults struggling with substance use and led trauma support groups. I have also worked with survivors of sexual assault and children in foster care. These diverse experiences have shaped my practice into one that is empathetic, culturally inclusive, and client-centered.
