My Approach
As a Queer/LGBTQ individual who has worked extensively within my community, I have learned that everyone has their own idea of what it means to suffer, but we need not approach it alone or without help. First and foremost, I believe that individual needs and each relationship is unique; this informs the work I do with clients. If you are not feeling seen or heard in your relationships with others, be they romantic or otherwise, we can work together to build the needed skills for you or you and your partner to better navigate needs.

I work with couples and adult individuals drawing on CBT, goal-setting, and Gottman Method couples therapy in my work. I am also part of the Queer, I Team at Resolution Counseling Center, which is the only in-network group of affirming providers (that we know of!) in NJ. I am also in-network with Lyra EAP.
