Welcome to Brightside Counseling & Psychotherapy

 I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I hold a Doctorate in Social Work from University of Kentucky and a Master of Social Work from Rutgers University, where I developed a strong foundation in clinical practice, leadership, and evidence-based care.

My professional background includes extensive experience in community mental health, behavioral health, crisis intervention, and family systems work. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, relationship stress, grief, and emotional overwhelm.

I have advanced training and certifications in Trauma-Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ADHD treatment strategies, and strengths-based therapeutic approaches. My style is warm, supportive, practical, and client-centered, focused on creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

I believe therapy should be collaborative, personalized, and centered on hope. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I am committed to helping you build resilience, gain clarity, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
