Hello! I’m a therapist at We Rise Therapy and Wellness. I received my undergraduate degree from Rutgers University and my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Rutgers Graduate School of Education. I have over twenty-two years of experience working in the mental health field. My past experience includes working at a residential treatment facility center, Care Management Organization, In-home counseling, and for the past fifteen years a school counselor.
