Emotionally Focused Therapists in 07043

My ideal client is one that is committed to change. I believe there is no one sized fits all approach to this work and my ideal client will keep an open mind as we explore goals, challenges, and potential problem-solving solutions along the way. I enjoy working with folks that have a desire to better understand themselves and live in alignment with their core values. If you are feeling stuck, struggling with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflict, I'd like to support you to create a life that you're proud of.

Therapy is a deeply personal and individual experience requiring care and understanding. I provide clients with a safe space to be heard without judgment, bias, or fear of recourse. I approach therapy with the perspective that we are forming a relationship to tackle your struggles collaboratively, while keeping in mind your feelings, concerns and goals. Supporting those dealing with loss and personal crises are a passion of mine.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I take a cognitive and holistic approach to help people of all ages identify and work toward realistic, achievable solutions in all areas of their lives—including those related to anxiety, relationships, transitions, parenting, health, careers, school, and many other issues. My goal in a counseling journey is to help you understand yourself, and set and accomplish your goals.

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults and adolescents explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.

Individuals, families and couples often reach out to me during moments in their lives in which there is a strong need to feel seen, heard and understood. For individuals across the lifespan and coping with varied life experiences, I offer an authentic and engaged approach to therapy that creates a trusting environment for exploration of issues related to coping with major life transitions and changes (divorce, job changes, loss of a relationship), grief and loss, emotion regulation, coping with traumatic loss and complex trauma, aging, parenting and caregiving, relationship struggles, depression and anxiety.

Drama Therapy for Kids: Act Your Way out of Anxiety. Is your child suffering from anxiety about school, friendships, or new situations such as divorce? Are your child's issues lowering their self-esteem? Why send your child to just talk therapy when they can heal through stories? Through drama and arts therapy kids communicate how they were meant to communicate - through storytelling and imaginary play. They act out characters, make up stories, share favorite films or t.v. shows while healing from anxiety or depression. A drama therapist speaks the child's language and quickly gets to the core of the problems.

You deserve to experience a life that is authentic, connected, and rich with meaning. It takes courage to rewrite your story from a place of disconnection, struggle, and fear, transforming it into a narrative full of empowerment, growth, and healing.
