Welcome

A vantage point is a place or position affording a good view of something.

We are a private psychotherapy practice located in Linwood, New Jersey, and our goal is just that: to help you achieve wellness and enhance your ability to cope, overcome barriers or past experiences, and enjoy the change you're looking for.

Certified EMDR Therapist

New Jersey Approved Clinical Supervisor

Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to travel alone. I collaborate with clients in identifying and addressing the beliefs that interfere with their ability to be the best, most integrated version of themselves.

I am a doctorate level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working with people across the lifespan with a variety of issues and concerns. I often use an integrative approach in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.

I am licensed to provide in-person and telehealth sessions in New Jersey and licensed to provide telehealth in Florida.

Together, we will co-construct a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. I believe in the potential of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate acceptance and warmth toward what might feel like the most painful or shameful parts of yourself.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who approaches the therapeutic process with gentleness, curiosity, creativity, and humor. I enjoy working with clients from adolescence through late adulthood.
