Ingrid offers real-life solutions to resolve the roadblocks that stand in your way to happiness and inner peace. Each individual's life experience is unique and therefore each therapeutic approach is specifically designed with your personal goals guiding the process.   

Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 20+yrs of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and 50+ years lived experience with an intersectional identity as a first-generation college student and adoptive parent in a multi-ethnic family. I help adult clients get out of their heads & skillfully back into their lives, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care.

Our goal is for clients is to move through therapy in the most efficient, yet comprehensive manner. Contact us to discuss your needs and how our experience and training can assist you in moving beyond these issues towards resolution and healing.  

Through depth therapy, I create space for self-discovery, integration, and healing that moves beyond coping and surface-level solutions to address the root sources of anxiety, depression, and persistent difficulties. Psychoanalytic work can help you understand unconscious patterns, inner conflicts, and how life experiences influence your sense of self, perspective, and ways of being. Exploration is deep, wide-ranging, and open-ended, extending across all aspects and times of life. It proceeds from the idea that our symptoms and struggles stem from an unconscious logic, which we can learn to listen to and gradually untie — freeing ourselves to live in new ways that feel more aligned, resonant, and vital.  

I chose to enter the mental health field because I believe real change is possible, and I wanted to be part of helping people get there. My path into this work was shaped by genuine curiosity about people, a desire to be useful, and an understanding that meaningful progress rarely comes from surface-level conversations. I earned my bachelor's degree from Saint Joseph's University, where I studied sociology, philosophy, and the Italian language. I later completed my Master's in Social Work at Monmouth University. Early in my career, I worked in outpatient and partial hospitalization settings, where I gained extensive experience treating individuals across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. That work grounded me clinically and reinforced something I have carried into every setting since: effective care has to be individualized, honest, and focused on what actually moves the needle. Over the past decade, I have built a practice around those same values. I work primarily with men from adolescence through adulthood, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, substance misuse, performance pressure, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is direct and collaborative. I help clients understand what is getting in their way, build practical skills, and stay accountable to the goals that matter most to them. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Director at Minding Your Mind, where I help bring mental health education to schools, businesses, and community organizations across New Jersey and Florida. That work has deepened my understanding of how stress, performance pressure, and emotional health show up across different populations and environments. I hold active licenses in New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina, and I am a clinical supervisor in New Jersey and Florida. I bring more than a decade of clinical experience to every client I work with, along with a straightforward belief that therapy should help people build the life they want, not just talk about it.  

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership. My approach is collaborative, mindful, and holistic. I focus on understanding who you are at your core. I offer a space that is warm and gentle, while also providing honest feedback when it’s helpful, so you and your family can feel supported in creating meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with children and teens, adults, and couples who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, relationship stress, and life transitions. I support clients who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for meaningful change.  

From the outside, it may look like you have your life together—career, relationships, responsibilities—but inside it can feel like something is missing. You may feel disconnected from your partner, unsure of your purpose, or just tired of carrying everything alone. Many men come to me feeling like they have to choose between being strong and being emotionally present. They’ve spent years keeping the peace, pushing through discomfort, and avoiding conflict, hoping that effort alone would be enough. Yet despite doing everything “right,” they feel lonely, resentful, unseen, or misunderstood in the relationships that matter most. My work is about helping you step back into your life with presence, clarity, and confidence. I help men understand their emotional patterns, communicate from strength instead of defensiveness, and build connection without losing themselves. We will slow down the places where you feel stuck, uncover what you truly need, and develop the inner steadiness to lead yourself and your relationships well. I’m not here to fix you—you’re not broken. I’m here to walk with you as you learn how to show up with more courage, more honesty, and more connection. This is the work of becoming the man you were meant to be.  

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to help clients create change in a way that feels realistic, compassionate, and sustainable. I combine accountability with warmth and support, helping women move beyond all-or-nothing thinking and develop habits that fit their real lives. I also bring a highly personalized approach to each session. I understand that every woman’s relationship with health, stress, and self-care, and relationships is different, which is why I focus on helping clients build self-awareness, confidence, consistency, and trust in themselves—not just temporary motivation. Clients often appreciate my ability to balance emotional insight with practical strategies, creating sessions that feel both supportive and empowering.  

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples helping them overcome psychological stress and to develop tools to manage life's challenges. My ability to listen and to provide empathy comes from a genuine place of wanting to help others. My life's purpose is to be a resource for individuals who may be suffering.  

Throughout life we all are faced with challenges. How we overcome these life challenges and experiences help shape us as people. Often there are times the obstacles we face can feel so overwhelming that we can not see the solutions. I believe we all hold the answers to resolving life's challenges inside of us. I view my role as supporting people through the process of facing difficult life events, guiding them to uncovering the solutions and working together to overcome these obstacles.  

I do a lot of work with high-achieving individuals who often look like they have everything together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly “on” internally. Many of my clients are used to white-knuckling through stress, holding themselves to high standards, and taking care of others—often at the expense of their own well-being. In our work together, I focus on creating a space that feels safe, honest, and empowering. My style is supportive but straightforward—I’m not here to judge you, but I will help you look closely at the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Clients often describe my approach as having a bit of “big sister” energy: someone who is in your corner, believes in your growth, and will both support and challenge you along the way!  

Some of the concerns that bring us to psychotherapy can ease relatively quickly. Many, however, are more complex and require time and thoughtful attention. Our work together is not only about relieving distress, but about creating meaningful, lasting change — change that brings you closer to what you want for yourself. I strive to cultivate the connection, attunement, and care necessary for this work to unfold.
