I understand that seeking out a mental health professional can be a difficult and sometimes intimidating step, and I’m committed to making the process as comfortable and supportive as possible. My goal is to provide confidential, compassionate care while paying close attention to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that our work together feels personal, meaningful, and effective.
I’m a Licensed Psychologist (NJ #6032) with a B.A. in Psychology from Rutgers University and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Capella University. Over the years, I’ve worked in both private practice and community mental health settings, supporting individuals through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, traumatic brain injury, and involvement with child protective services.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with a holistic perspective that considers the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I believe in creating a safe, empathetic space where you can process, heal, and grow because your mental and emotional wellbeing deserves thoughtful, individualized care.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Combines low doses of ketamine with psychotherapy to treat depression, trauma, and anxiety. It can provide relief when other methods haven’t worked.

At The Cass Center for Psychological and Holistic Wellbeing, our approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and clinical excellence. We are a team of highly trained and dedicated clinicians who share one mission to provide exceptional mental health care that supports healing, resilience, and personal growth.
We believe that therapy should be more than symptom relief it should be a transformative experience that helps you reconnect with yourself, gain new insight, and build tools that empower you to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. Each clinician at The Cass Center brings extensive professional experience, specialized training, and a genuine passion for helping clients find peace and clarity in their emotional and mental health journeys.
Our practice integrates evidence-based treatments that have been proven to create meaningful and lasting change. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients recognize and reframe negative thinking patterns; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages emotional acceptance and values-based living; Family Systems Therapy, which focuses on improving relationship dynamics and communication within families; and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, an innovative and emerging approach that can enhance traditional therapeutic outcomes for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma.
We understand that no two individuals experience life the same way. Our clinicians tailor every session to meet your specific emotional, psychological, and relational needs. We take time to understand your story where you’ve been, what you’ve endured, and where you hope to go. Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, identity exploration, or significant life transitions, our goal is to help you feel heard, validated, and supported in a space that fosters growth and self-discovery.
At The Cass Center, we place a strong emphasis on collaboration. We view therapy as a partnership between clinician and client, where trust, empathy, and mutual respect create the foundation for healing. We believe that when clients feel safe and supported, they are better able to access the deeper parts of themselves that lead to true change. Our clinicians are known for their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism, ensuring that each person receives the highest quality of care.
We also recognize that modern life can be demanding, and access to quality mental health care should be flexible and convenient. That’s why we offer telehealth sessions across New Jersey, allowing clients to receive therapy from the comfort and privacy of their own home. Our secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms ensure confidentiality and ease of access, making it simple to prioritize your mental health no matter how busy life gets.
Our clients often come to us seeking a sense of balance, clarity, or renewal after periods of uncertainty or emotional struggle. Through personalized therapy, we help individuals regain control of their thoughts and emotions, strengthen relationships, and rediscover purpose. Our clinicians work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families helping each client build resilience, improve coping skills, and foster emotional intelligence that supports long-term wellbeing.
We take pride in being more than just a therapy practice; we are a supportive community committed to helping people thrive.
