Therapists in 06518
I specialize in working with adults and couples who are struggling with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, stress, and grief. I work from a person-centered, strengths-based approach, implementing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, and mindfulness into my work with clients. I believe that by identifying and challenging our faulty assumptions and patterns of negative thinking, we can begin to view the world more positively and improve our relationships with others.

As a practitioner, my ideal client would be someone who is genuinely seeking personal growth and willing to engage actively in the therapeutic process. Seeking to speak to a therapist is an amazing first step in acknowledging your desire for wellness, growth and positive change. I ask that you come to the session with an open mind, with a willingness to explore different perspectives and approaches. That you exhibit commitment to your growth and the goals we set as a team. Finally, complete honesty; time spent avoiding truths is time not spent on healing. I create safe spaces with zero judgement! Let’s be radically transparent.

Healing is a process in which we should give ourselves Grace. I will not pretend to have the answers to your problems, but by taking a team approach, we can get you to a place where you can achieve the results you are looking for. I love working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression and feel lost in everyday life—women who think that they have no voice in society. People who feel disconnected from their family of origin want to reconnect, and parents who want a closer bond with their children.
