Areas of Expertise
Couple's Therapy
Has there been an emotional betrayal or an affair? I help couples improve their communication and support them through the affair recovery process. Using Evidence-based practices such as the Gottman Method or Imago will be used to help make direct and impactful changes in how we repair your relationship, actively listen and learn to be more "Proactive vs Reactive". I provide psychoeducation on self-regulation, using a "soft start up", and how to be more aligned with your partner. Using Reflective Listening Skills is at the heart of my couples work, along with Conflict Resolution Skills. Additionally, I focus energetically on exploring a couples connection, romance and intimacy satisfaction.
When was the last time you had sex and how was it?
I integrate my training and knowledge of intimacy re-building for couples experiencing low libido, sexual dysfunction or sexless relationships.

Sensual Touch
​
​After our initial session, I will meet with each individual in the couple to complete a Biopsychosocial assessment. I will take a quick peek into your past to better understand how you respond to your environment/relationship. It's imperative for me to appreciate your journey more when working with you as a couple.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Shame- Informed Care
Shame-Informed Care & Trauma Treatment with the InHarmony Sound Lounge
I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Shame-Informed Care, Trauma treatment, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to support my clients in their healing journey.
One powerful tool I use is the InHarmony Sound Lounge, which combines deep meditation with the use of a Message Bed to help calm the nervous system and foster emotional safety.
​
The InHarmony Sound Lounge utilizes prosodic sound, a highly effective sensory healing modality that triggers neuroception—the body’s ability to detect safety or threat. Through guided imagery paired with music that aligns with the vibrations within the bed, meditation becomes a transformative experience. This process not only calms the central nervous system but also contributes to neuroplasticity, helping to rewire the brain for improved emotional regulation.
​
Meditation, combined with this sensory approach, supports deep healing and empowers clients to find greater emotional safety within themselves.
​
InHarmony Sound Lounge Add-On Service
The InHarmony Sound Lounge is an optional add-on to your psychotherapy session. The cost for a 55-minute individual psychotherapy session is $130.00, with an additional $30.00 for 25 minutes of InHarmony Sound therapy.

Looking for Practical Tools to Improve Your Life?
​
Using evidence-based practices, you’ll learn to identify core shame or negative beliefs and challenge irrational, intrusive thoughts. Through CBT, we’ll explore how your thinking patterns impact your feelings and behaviors, helping you untwist negative thoughts and heal past wounds. This process builds awareness, allowing you to respond to situations more clearly and effectively.
Insight-Oriented Therapy
I strongly believe you can't know where you are going until you understand where you come from. I find it extremely helpful in my sessions for the client "take me back" so I can better understand how you see your world and respond to it. I use a comprehensive Biopsychosocial Assessment at the start of each initial session, then help you learn how to manage distorted beliefs of self. I call it, "connect the dots" to help you understand your internal and external triggers and how you respond to them.
This type of talk therapy is based on the concept that talking through your problems will help you to learn the skills to address them effectively.

Men's Wellness
As a therapist, my primary goal is to help men overcome challenges that are preventing them from living a happy, healthy lifestyle. I specialize in men's mental wellness and frequently work with clients on issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low desire, and communication errors. By using my experience, empathy, and evidence-based therapies, we can reduce feelings of shame and guilt surrounding these issues, and help you create a positive, confident, & intimate relationship with your authentic self.
Adult Child and Parent Relationships
As someone who understands the strain that comes with rocky parent to adult child relationships, I've made it my mission to help bring families closer together. Using assertive communication and boundary-setting techniques, I work with couples and adult parents to repair and rebuild their relationships with their children. It's always a privilege for me to be part of such positive changes in families and I'm dedicated to making a positive difference in each person's life that I work with.
About Me
My approach is particular, in how I connect with others. Authenticity is a major factor in my practice and my personality, it's deeply rooted in who I am. I strive to help others learn how to connect themselves for the purpose of finding a deeper meaning of being genuine and authentic with your true self. I lean into your energy to help uncover past or current challenges and to better assess your needs. I take the time to build a palpable, real connection with my couples and individuals.
I was born and raised in South Jersey, growing up on a farm, dirt and grease were everyday companions. With my father's extensive experience as a truck driver spanning over 25 years and a family background in entrepreneurship, I was deeply immersed in both worlds. My upbringing also involved hands-on work in the family business, where I learned to operate tractors and skid steers. Additionally, being raised in a family with a successful business background makes me a fourth-generation entrepreneur, shaping my perspective and aspirations from an early age.
​One thing you will notice about me is that I love to wear unique articles of clothing or accessories in my office. I enjoy accessorizing my style from colorful earrings to brightly colored pumps.
I spent 15 years as an equestrian, nurturing and caring for two horses until their passing in 2022. Additionally, I dedicated a decade to ballroom dancing. Both experiences have equipped me with the skills and insights necessary to excel as a therapist.
A few fun facts about me: I enjoy spending time outdoors gardening and cooking. I share my life with my husband and two dogs: an French Bulldog and a Siberian Husky. I have a passion for reading, particularly dark romance novels. I prefer my coffee light and sweet, and I also enjoy a refreshing glass of traditional Southern sweet tea. My favorite color is metallic brown, and when it comes to food, pasta and dumplings are always at the top of my list.
