Lead Psychotherapist & Clinical Director | New York, New Jersey | Telehealth

About Me

I provide holistic, trauma-informed psychotherapy to individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. I’m licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in New York and a Professional Counselor in New Jersey, and I hold advanced clinical certifications in anxiety treatment, trauma therapy, and mindfulness-informed care.

As the Lead Psychotherapist and Clinical Director of Love Light Mental Health Counseling Services, PLLC, I oversee clinical operations and guide a multidisciplinary team committed to culturally responsive, ethical, and high-quality care. My work balances direct clinical practice with mentorship, supervision, and clinical leadership to ensure consistency, integrity, and excellence across the practice.

My Clinical Focus & Leadership Approach

With more than 18 years of experience across social services and mental health settings, my background includes program development, clinical supervision, training, and quality assurance. These experiences shaped my belief that meaningful progress happens when structure, compassion, and accountability work together.

In my clinical work, I integrate evidence-based psychotherapy, mindfulness practices, and holistic approaches that honor the connection between mind, body, and lived experience. As a Clinical Director, I support clinicians in developing strong clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and confident professional identities.

My Work at Love Light

I founded Love Light to create a practice where therapy is accessible, identity-affirming, and grounded in human connection. My vision is to continue shaping a space where clients feel supported in their healing and clinicians feel supported in their growth—through thoughtful leadership, clear standards, and a shared commitment to care.

Education & Professional Involvement

I earned my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy University and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I hold advanced clinical certifications in anxiety treatment, trauma therapy, and mindfulness-informed care, and I remain actively engaged in ongoing professional development and clinical education.

I am an active member of national and state professional organizations and currently serve in a leadership role supporting the advancement of the counseling profession and the development of clinicians statewide.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I value slowing down and staying connected to what brings balance and joy into daily life. I enjoy spending time with family, being intentional about rest, and creating space for reflection and personal growth. I’m drawn to experiences that support wellness, creativity, and presence, and I prioritize practices that help me stay grounded and aligned—both personally and professionally.
