Accepting New Clients
I have been a psychotherapist since 2021, but before that I worked in-community as a behavioral assistant, and before that I was a high-end hairdresser. I like people and like learning about them and listening to them. It is a great privilege to know the truth of how you really feel. I have aquired many skills along the road to share. I offer psychotherapy, but I can also coach you for meditation/mindfulness, or ADHD. I take pride in my use of CBT or MBCBT, and DBT, but also use non-traditional therapies such as tapping, somatic work, and sound healing. I am trauma-informed and also trained in EMDR. I'd call my style holistic.
My clients range from teens to seniors, and I am well versed on ADHD/neurodivergence, anxiety, and trauma treatment. As an adoptive parent, working with adoptive families is also close to my heart. I am dedicated to guiding clients on their path to self-discovery, growth, and healing. Available in person and virtual.
Bloom Therapy Center
In addition to being a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) in New Jersey and New York, I am also a certified Reiki practitioner and sound healing practitioner. From the beginning, Bloom Therapy Center has been envisioned as a place for healing—a warm, welcoming space where you can grow, relax, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
​
In 2026, with the opening of my new space in Warren, I expanded my practice beyond psychotherapy to include sound healing sessions, offering another path toward balance and well-being.
Talk therapy is incredibly effective, but it can also feel like active work. It asks you to explore, process, and move toward meaningful change. Sound healing offers a different experience. It's a more restorative practice that invites your mind and body to simply receive. As your nervous system settles and you become more relaxed, your brain is often better able to process experiences with greater clarity and less reactivity.
The best part? All you have to do is show up, stay curious, and allow yourself to be immersed in the vibrations and sounds. (And yes—you get to keep your clothes on!)
Last, If you are interested in learning to meditate, please contact me to join a group meditation session, or follow me on Insta or FB for more information.
In Peace and Resonance,
