I think as human beings we want to feel seen, heard, appreciated, respected, loved, and valued. I believe most of us want to make a difference in the lives of those around us, our loved ones, friends and community. Making a difference and enjoying healthy and gratifying relationships and contributing to one's community can take many forms but they all involve relationships. If you find yourself feeling deeply unhappy, confused and dissatisfied in any of your relationships, I'd like to learn more about you and what you are seeking in your life and in your relationships.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over ten years of experience. I am passionate about joining individuals as they learn about themselves and find ways to navigate life's challenges. I listen to my clients without judgement and work collaboratively to create solutions.

I've been a therapist for over 20 years, Nationally Certified Counselor, Licensed Mental Counselor (FL), Licensed Professional Counselor (NJ & TX) and a Qualified Supervisor (Fl). I am also a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider. My therapeutic foundation has many influences: Existential psychology, Gestalt therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Brief therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy to name a few. I'm Relationship centered and focused on authenticity.

Hope. I hear that so much in therapy. Is there hope? Will things get better? Will my child, my family, myself feel hope and positive change? My answer is there will always be hope. Hope brought you to this website. Hope motivates us and with the help of a therapeutic alliance provides insight and a course foward. My goal is to teach you tools and provide a environment in which you feel secure in sharing your experiences.

My approach to counseling is systemic, viewing the individual in context of the family. I seek to strengthen all types of families and individuals with an approach that combines a Christian worldview with effective research-based methods. People that are looking to be active in the change process will find a fit with my approach.

I am a therapist who believes in a healthy, positive approach to dealing with life issues. I utilize a holistic approach, incorporating the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in conscious living, that is the increased awareness of the choices we make in our lives. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with individuals of all ages and concerns.

"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity." -Pema Chodron. From this place of compassion, I embrace a collaborative approach in therapy to help you address current life challenges, explore lifelong patterns, and/or develop areas for personal growth. I see adolescents and adults.

My passion is working with individuals and couples addressing anxiety, depression, grief and spiritual concerns. I specialize in mental/ emotional well-being, sexology, spiritual psychology and interpersonal/ couples therapy with certifications in EMDR, grief and hypnotherapy. In addition, I completed my doctoral training in transpersonal therapy for those clients wanting to combine their traditional counseling with spiritual understanding and support. As the owner of Mind Body & Beyond healing center, it's my pleasure to provide integrative healing for our clients mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs. Please contact me if you would like more information.

Let me help you overcome life's challenges, enabling you to achieve your goals, obtain personal fulfillment and live your ideal life. The results and successes are unlimited...you really can live the life you desire and deserve.

Effective therapy, in my view, moves forward only when you, the patient, do not feel judged, talked down to or told what to do. It is only in this atmosphere of mutual respect and regard that you will surface and examine your issues in ways that give you insight to the "why's" of the choices you've made in the past, your responses to life's events, and options you might choose in the future. There are many different methods I may use depending on what seems most promising given your goals for therapy.

Helping couples, families & individuals work through life's challenges. I am dedicated to working with clients to discover and reach their goals. The cornerstone of my practice is my belief in that each individual has the strengths and ability for change.

Are you at one of those points in life where you just need some support in sorting it all out? Do you or your teen need some perspective and life skills? Are you looking for a therapist who can think outside the box? I help teens overcome obstacles by learning to express themselves and build a resilient identity. I help women learn to increase their own sense of value and personal power in or out of relationships. I don't judge and I don't have cookie cutter solutions. I take a creative approach and use a variety of strategies and techniques to tailor treatment to you.

Parenting is hard! Your kid did NOT come with a manual & things can become overwhelming before you know it.

At times individuals or couples struggle with personal issues that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, powerless, or unsure of what steps to take next.

I am working with both adolescents and adults. My theoretical orientation to counseling and psychotherapy is rooted in the philosophy of a humanistic-existential approach to human functioning. I use the tenets of individual responsibility to choice and decision-making and apply them within a cognitive-behavioral perspective (CBT) to counseling and clinical work. I consider myself a generalist with specialty training in cognitive rehabilitation, vocational/career counseling, as well as psychoeducational testing and other evaluations, such as pre-surgical evaluations (e.g., for bariatric procedures).

As a therapist, I work in a partnership with my clients to create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. I have 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in various settings. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount for growth and change, and you will know within the first session whether I am the right therapist for you. Over the years, I have developed ways of addressing the past while focusing on the present day, and I have training and experience working with clients from childhood to adulthood. Confidentiality is assured.
