She earned a master’s degree in social work from Kean University in 2005 and a bachelors in criminal justice from Caldwell University in 2001. Additionally, Toni has two post master’s supervisory certificates.

Her first position was as a case manager at the Hope House in Dover, helping those with HIV and AIDS navigate several social services systems. This position prompted Toni to increase her knowledge and return to school for a master’s degree. Since, she has gained a wealth of knowledge working in a variety of settings including private practice, intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, corrections, detox units, nursing homes, and acute psychiatric hospitals. Toni was also an adjunct professor at Ramapo College and Essex County Community College.

Toni works with adults, couples and teens and has extensive experience helping those with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, mood disorders, substance use, stress management, relationships and trauma. Toni focuses on the strengths of clients rather than pathology applying such therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Integrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Toni has been a proponent of empowering clients, couples, and families by individualizing treatment based on solution-focused orientation and employing resilience, strengths, and self-awareness.
