You feel stressed and overwhelmed. You struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, or relationships. You are looking for change (even if you are not sure exactly what that would look like). I can help you explore, learn, grow, and achieve emotional wellbeing.

Although deciding to enter or re-enter therapy is often a difficult decision, it can be the best decision of your life. I am a firm believer that people enter therapy when they are using every skill they know to help themselves feel better or help a situation improve and their efforts are met with failure.

Immediate availability! I focus on treating anxiety; depression; trauma; alcohol and substance abuse; gambling and other addictions; aging; gender identity; and relationship issues. Navigating life’s challenges can leave us feeling unsure of how to move forward, or that we are not our best selves, or that we are not living in a way we want to be living. Each of our paths through life are different, and each of our challenges are different. Some of us have challenges at work or at home that we aren't handling well. For some, past experiences can complicate how we live our current lives.

"Therapy... Coping... Life... " Covid-19 continues to devastate our society through addiction, fear, and challenge to cope with "life on life's terms." I am best at helping people develop coping skills to prevent relapse in behavior while building your quality of life...

I am a therapist who believes strongly that talk therapy sometimes just isn't enough. Sometimes when a person experiences difficulties in life, their defenses can often get in the way. This is especially true when you are a child, have experienced trauma, or struggle with Eating Disorders. Sandplay therapy and other approaches can help break-down those barriers and promote healing.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you will feel empowered and on a positive path to attain the personal growth and well-being you are striving for. With compassion and understanding, I am an interactive, non-judgmental, solution-focused therapist, and I'm here to help you uncover your true potential to lead a life that is worth celebrating. Call me at 732-784-1810 or send me an e-mail and come visit me in Toms River.

Is your family struggling with the challenges of a concussion, Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, memory loss, or other neurological disorder?

I work with families and children to empower them to handle and adjust to life changes such as divorce, relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma in a positive, healthy manner. I utilize cognitive behavioral, trauma informed care and mindfulness techniques to work with children experiencing depression, anxiety, school related issues, peer issues and family issues.

I approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to fostering growth and resilience in the individuals and families I serve. My work involves utilizing evidence-based therapeutic interventions and incorporating techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, movement, and solution-focused therapy to build towards overall emotional well-being and personal development. Over the past 6 years in practice I have worked extensively with children, teens, and families in crisis, as well as with adults experiencing chronic and terminal illness across the life cycle.

Everyone wants to be their best selves. Adjusting to change and facing new challenges affects our health and happiness. You need to be able to vent about life stressors and decompress. We all need that from time to time. You have the ability to improve resilience, change perspective and accept those things beyond your control.
