Grief Therapists in 07461

Experiencing uncomfortable emotions such as shame, anxiety, sadness and anger often leave us feeling stuck and out of control. It doesn't have to be that way. With patience and gentleness, we will focus on emotional and psychological growth to facilitate a sense of balance. I have been working in the mental health field for 7 years and my focus has been on working with teens and adults who are being called to go deeper and explore the “whys” of their life; those who are struggling with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. Those who are searching for profound change and want to shift from surviving to thriving.

Welcoming new clients! Are you overwhelmed with life right now? If you're experiencing grief, trauma, anxiety and/or depression or struggling with significant life changes, know you don't have to suffer alone. With 20+ years of counseling experience, I have supported adults through many of life's challenges, such as coping with the loss of a loved one, navigating the ending of a relationship, adjusting to a new medical diagnosis and addressing negative childhood experiences that continue to impact their lives as an adult. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, confused and perhaps even numb, please reach out! I'm here to help.

My approach aims to understand how each of my client's views their world in order to facilitate and maintain meaningful, healthy changes that suit their personal lifestyle. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel empowered and capable of overcoming any obstacles life throws our way. Each session begins and ends with inspiration, hope, and a new found sense of purpose for life.

Are you or a loved one struggling with the balance of daily life stressors of family, work and/or school? Does the smallest thing seem to trigger you or a loved one? Have you become increasingly concerned about your loved one’s behavior at home or school? Is your loved one not engaging in activities that once brought them joy? Are you or a loved one experiencing a lack of energy? Are you or a loved one burnt out at work, school and/or at home? Are you or a loved one abusing substances of any kind to self medicate? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, I am here to help!

Welcome! I know it can be hard to get to the point where you don’t know what else to do, so I want to first start off by applauding you for taking the first step in getting help for yourself or for a loved one. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience working with children, adolescents and families with diverse needs. I specialize in treating issues related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, mood disorders, school refusal, peer conflicts and other social emotional needs.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my help as you decide to move forward in your life. I am available for individual consultations with motivated people seeking profound connection and change for their mental health and/or their substance use issues. I currently work with adult and some adolescent clients during the evening hours of the week. I provide a forum for my clients to feel truly heard, and make clear, well-informed decisions in support of committed change towards wellness and recovery.

Taking the first step can be hard, but you have done it. You're here! I would love to speak with you a bit about your circumstances and see if we are a good fit for working together. Please reach out via phone or email for a free 15-minute consultation. Here is a little background about myself and what I have to offer you.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Are things just not falling into place for you? Is there a thought that won't go away, that you've perhaps tried to take away through drugs, drinking, or some other unhealthy way? Or, maybe you feel like things are going well, but you're afraid something bad will happen soon? Has someone said to you that maybe you should see a therapist about this? In today's world, it's not uncommon to experience stress, anxiety or depression. But when it becomes dysfunctional and interferes with how you live your life, that's when a helping hand may be the right place to turn to.

My role as a therapist is to understand each client's unique perspectives and needs without imposing personal biases or assumptions. The only request of my clients is an openness to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a non-judgmental environment. Presenting issues can range from anxiety, depression, or trauma to relationship difficulties or struggles with self-esteem. Regardless of the specific concerns or challenges you are facing, therapy is a valuable tool in gaining insight, developing coping strategies, and working towards personal growth and fulfillment.
