Therapists in 20120

Greetings from Nucleus Counseling Services (NCS)!! Are you or a loved one experiencing feelings of loneliness, fatigue, low energy, lack of focus, anxiety or are you struggling with a traumatic experience? At Nucleus we believe that healing begins when our core issues are addressed. We are here, via teletherapy, to assist individuals with navigating social/emotional obstacles that may be interfering with day to day function and progress.

I offer supportive grief counseling to adults who are living after the death of an important person in their life. I also work with adults who are experiencing serious medical illness who are striving to find balance and purpose in their daily life. In addition I offer supportive counseling to adult family members of people living with chronic medical illnesses and life limiting diagnoses. In 2021 I am only offering Zoom sessions. Due to limited openings I ask you to please email me and share your current challenges and goals for therapy. A phone consultation will then be scheduled for us to determine if we are a good fit.

I have more than 20 years of experience supporting, assisting adults, and seniors working towards enjoying life to the fullest. I specialize in helping clients who are depressed, anxious, experiencing life transitions and loss, including divorce, death, serious illness, or other trauma. I have an eclectic approach depending on the client. This approach includes psychodynamic, client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Lately life is relentless. Overwhelming. Filled with demands. Suddenly, you’re full time mom, teacher, employee of the year and queen of the zoom meeting! There’s never a moment to yourself…yet you’ve never felt more alone, invisible, exhausted by it all. You find yourself anxious. How to balance all the competing demands and still have time to wipe down the groceries, let alone sleep a few hours before you get up to do it again? Your mind circles, trying to figure some way out of the trap…you don’t want to be grouchy. You long to get back to connection and peace, to be the fun-loving mom you always thought you’d be.

Would you like to become the best version of yourself? That journey begins with figuring out what you want, choosing what you believe and taking responsibility for the changes you want to make. This is a step by step process best achieved in an environment of unconditional positive regard, validation and genuineness. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy along with mindfulness, assertiveness training and relaxation techniques. I am out of network for all insurance but happy to help you navigate that process. Ask me if you qualify for a reduced fee.

When looking for a therapist, it is most important to find someone who is a good fit for you; someone who you feel comfortable with and who understands you. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, judgment-free, and compassionate environment for clients to be heard and understood.

I love helping clients from all walks of life and seeing through our partnership and work together how they can shift from surviving to living a meaningful life.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience providing space for people to process whatever they are dealing with. People come to me with a wide range of different issues. I am an eclectic therapist but tend to focus on using cognitive behavioral therapy. I love to meet new people, and I would love to work with you.
