I am a certified Co-Active© Coach (CPCC) and certified NeurOptimal® advanced trainer and practitioner. As an experienced multi-disciplinary trauma therapist, specializing in EMDR, I have created this space to be trauma-sensitive and informed. I’m a licensed clinical social work therapist in the state of New Jersey, holding certifications in EMDR, and Integrative Mental Health Medicine. I have worked to develop, implement, and coordinate the Advanced Applications of Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, Levels 1, 2 and 3, at The Leslie Korn Institute.  

My integrative journey began when clients started asking my thoughts about psychiatric medications. I researched the effects of essential oils like vetiver, lavender, and bergamot on mental health and then educated and suggested these for my clients as steps to take before prescription medication. Years later, as my integrative work has expanded into additional therapies, my clients have seen much success and I am so glad to bring this service to the community through direct services and clinical trainings.

As the only introvert in a large family of seven, in my free time I enjoy quiet time gardening, walks by the water, reading and going to the beach. My home is usually bustling with friends and family and I love to make everyone feel welcome.
