Therapy can be defined as anything that is done that moves a client toward health and wholeness. Healing requires movement. So, first, we’ll collaborate and determine how you’re stuck in your life. As human beings, we reach out to others for assistance when we’re frustrated and can’t see any options for ourselves in a particular situation. At that point, we’re feeling stuck...with obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors, with feelings that we don’t know how to process, or with a partner or job that’s unfulfilling.


Being or feeling stuck is the last place you want to be. Life is about movement...whether it’s backwards, forwards, up or down. Any kind of movement gets you unstuck and involved in the healing process.


Therapy helps you get unstuck and helps you discern and make conscious choices regarding a course of action.


I use a variety of treatment modalities to help you reach your goals depending on your openness and preferences. These include cognitive behavioral therapy, insight oriented therapy, hypnotherapy and past life regression. Together we decide which treatment option is best suited to meet your needs. Sometimes it's one of these options exclusively, other times, it's a combination of modalities.


My style is warm and collaborative. I'm active in sessions and give clients feedback. One of my goals is to give you something to think about in between sessions.


My post graduate degree from Seton Hall is an Ed.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also have a Th.M. in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Princeton Seminary and a M.Div. from the Lutheran Seminary in Philadelphia.


If you have unproductive behaviors, fears, stress or relationship problems, therapy helps. The first move is to reach out for assistance.

You Don’t Have to Navigate Life’s Challenges Alone

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply unsure of what comes next? Life transitions, relationship and family challenges, trauma, and everyday stress can sometimes leave us feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected from ourselves. You don’t have to work through it alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Une’k Therapeutic Solutions, I bring over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of life challenges. My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing and feel heard, respected, and understood.
