As a certified EMDR therapist with specialized training, I support clients navigating post-traumatic stress, high-conflict custody disputes, parental estrangement, and various life-changing events.
My work is grounded in helping you safely process experiences that may feel overwhelming, so you can begin to move forward with greater clarity and stability.
Throughout my career, whether in corrections, child welfare, or acute psychiatric care, I have seen the power of a compassionate, client-centered approach in fostering healing and inner peace. Each setting has deepened my understanding of how trauma impacts individuals and families, and how meaningful change happens when people feel supported and understood.
I am featured on Psychology Today, where you can learn more about my approach, specialties, and how I support clients on their path toward healing and growth.
For attorneys and families involved in family court, I am a certified expert witness specializing in abuse matters, and I also conduct child custody evaluations.
Located in Cherry Hill, I would love to connect and see how I can support you on your journey. Sign up for an intro consultation today. We can talk through what you’re looking for and see if I’m a good fit for you.
“You don’t have to go through this alone.”
