Life can often feel overwhelming, with layers of experiences and challenges that leave us feeling stuck, frustrated, or uncertain. While we naturally try to solve problems on our own, healing and growth are rarely one-size-fits-all. Each person’s story is unique, and therapy provides a space to better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward meaningful change.

 

At Prime Therapy Services, I work with adolescents and adults ages 13 and older, including facilitating DBT Group’s focused on skill-building, emotional processing, and personal growth. My clinical experience spans a variety of mental health settings, including end-of-life care, older adult services, a halfway house supporting women recovering from substance use, and community mental health work concentrating on anger management within a nonprofit organization in New Jersey. These experiences allow me to tailor treatment to each client’s individual needs while maintaining a compassionate, collaborative approach.

 

I am committed to providing evidence-based care and continuing my professional growth to best support clients through life’s challenges. My goal is to help individuals manage crises, develop practical coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and work toward goals that feel authentic and meaningful to them.

 

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I strive to create a supportive and safe environment where clients can strengthen their connection with themselves and others, foster empowerment, and develop a deeper sense of purpose and balance. Together, we work to build insight, practice acceptance, and create lasting change through healing and self-discovery.

 

I utilize evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based practices, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. DBT, in particular, focuses on developing skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—helping clients learn how to move through life with greater confidence, self awareness, and compassion.
