Carley graduated from Rutgers University in 2021 with a Master’s in Social Work. She is passionate about working with children, families, and adults, viewing the world through a social justice lens and providing culturally competent therapeutic services that consider racial, economic, and social factors.

She is skilled in working with clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, family challenges, parenting struggles, neurodivergence, and more.
I have supported a client through a difficult postpartum period as she prepared for second child on the way. We worked to instill confidence in herself as a young mother and set boundaries with her family to ensure her and her children’s mental well-being.
The first 1-2 sessions will be building rapport and getting to know each.We will then establish treatment goals that you feel truly reflect your therapeutic desires. Having a good foundation will lead us to explore aspects of your present life, past, and future.
The first session will be exploring what brings you to therapy while getting to know each other and building a therapeutic relationship.
I am motivated to help people of all ages feel heard and supported. There are so many factors that make up the human experience and I enjoy providing an individualized guiding hand to those who need it. Working with children is my passion- helping them have a voice and share their thoughts and experiences in safe and affirming environment.
