Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor who has been working in the mental health field since 2014. I completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2015 and my master’s in social work from Rutgers University in 2017. I have years of experience working in inpatient hospitalization (IP), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and Outpatient treatment (OP).

I started Golden Lens Counseling in 2025 to create a safe, warm, and compassionate environment for clients to feel heard. I believe the therapeutic relationship is so important to help build trust and comfort. I like to focus on getting to know each client and their expectations, preferences, and focus for therapy.

I use a variety of different approaches including support for navigating day-to-day stressors, processing thoughts and emotions from past experiences and relationships, examining upbringing and different family dynamics, psychoanalyzing different conscious/unconscious thoughts and or behaviors, providing psychoeducation on diagnoses, treatments, and coping skills.

I believe therapy can bring up an array of different emotions that can be overwhelming at times but can also be rewarding, empowering, and even humorous. I am a very empathetic person and also like to bring some humor into sessions!

When I’m not in sessions, I am likely somewhere with my golden retriever, Paige, who occasionally makes an appearance. I always welcome pets! I love getting to know more about each person, their interests, and passions, and am always happy to take a minute to catch up on any great tv shows, movies, books, concerts, vacations, or sporting events!
