Licensed Clinical Social Worker, NJ, # 44SC05680800

Hello! I’m a therapist at We Rise Therapy and Wellness. I received my undergraduate Psychology degree from Rutgers University and my master’s in social work from Rutgers University. My past experience includes working with teenagers, young adults, and women from diverse backgrounds within various settings. I have worked in middle/high schools, higher education, non-profits, and in-home settings. Throughout my experiences, I have become knowledgeable and confident in my therapeutic abilities and practices.

“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.”

Self Care Rituals
  • Working out
  • 5 min gratitude journal
  • Listening to guided mediation
My style
My style draws from an integrative approach of treatment, including strengths-based and cognitive behavioral therapy with my clients. I consider it very important to have a personalized approach for each of my clients to achieve their individual needs/goals. I believe therapy is a collaborative endeavor and offers an environment of openness, compassion, and commitment. I look forward to helping you on your journey of healing and wellness.
