Have you ever felt as though it was hard to ask for help, whether it was with something small that happens in life, or perhaps when more complicated situations arise? What about when those distressing thoughts just “pop” into your mind, and the uncomfortable feelings occur? It can be very uncomfortable, and even exhausting, to try to cope with those thoughts and feelings. Maybe you’ve fallen into some habits that you would like to talk about and understand better, or even change but are unsure about how to start. Or maybe you’re going through a significant loss or a change. Do you feel like you just aren’t yourself these days?

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

I have been working in the mental health field for the past 8 years and I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of populations in the field. I have a lot of experiencing working with youth and people who struggle with managing anxiety, depression, stress, family challenges, trauma, and substance use. I have had the opportunity to work with people in different settings like inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care, community based treatment, schools , non-profit agencies, and occupational social work.

If you are reading this then you are halfway there to working on your issues and finding solutions. I have been in practice for over twenty years and bring a warm and encouraging style to the therapy process. My practice is inclusive of children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, couples, family and group therapy. I offer a no cost half hour phone consultation to all prospective clients. That way you can see if I am the right fit for you!

Having extensive experience, I use empirically supported therapies, and have treated a wide range of ages as well as the most serious disorders. It is my belief that salient therapy treats a client in 3 different directions: top-down (spiritual dimension), inside out (healing of memories), and outside-in (Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). After a thorough assessment, I would identify with my client, determine problems on which to work, set appropriate goals, and determine the correct therapeutic intervention(s) to be used. Meeting those goals would be a therapeutic benchmark throughout the therapy.

Chattering finch and water-fly are not merrier than I; Here among the flowers I lie Laughing everlastingly. No; I may not tell the best; Surely, friends, I might have guessed Death was but the good King's jest, It was hid so carefully. The Skeleton by G. K. Chesterton

You deserve to have the chance to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up each morning. My purpose is to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying this experience as much as possible and the opportunity to experience yourself in new ways. I am passionate about taking the time to establish the therapeutic relationship to make you feel comfortable sharing and growing throughout the journey. I believe that each person has their own unique set of goals and therapy is a valuable process directed specifically for you.

Seeking help requires courage and strength, and I applaud you for the steps you have already taken in your journey. The demands of life are vast, but I believe they can feel a little lighter with a supportive, affirming presence by your side. I am committed to providing a compassionate, accepting, collaborative, and empowering space for you. I firmly believe each person possess an incredible capacity for enhancing their well-being, and I am honored to accompany you on your journey of healing and personal growth.

At Wreh's Wellness Services, we enjoy working with children (ages 5+), families, adolescents, couples, individuals and groups. We work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stressor related concerns, grief and loss, personality disorders, self-esteem, familial relationship challenges, addiction, trauma and other psychosocial symptoms. We have experiences providing supportive and counseling services to individuals in schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics and in the home.

As a clinician, the therapeutic process is only meaningful and complete with the reciprocity and engagement of those I work with. Each individual is unique and their stories are interwoven with a rich tapestry of diverse emotions. By balancing the abstract, creative, philosophical, and introspective aspects of life with friendliness, compassion, empathy and care, I walk the path with you on your journey toward peace and happiness.

Good day to you! My educational background is in Clinical Psychology and Counseling Psychology with a Post Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis. I began my career in providing behavioral and mental healthcare services in 2004. Since that time, I have devoted myself to helping youth, adolescents, and adults address neurodiverse needs. In June of 2016, I founded Beautiful Minds to meet the mental and behavioral health needs of youth, families, and adults living in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

I see therapy as a collaborative effort. In my therapeutic relationships, I look to build a strong rapport as a base for powerful therapy. I believe that introspection and awareness of the self are paramount for growth and happiness. I would love to help guide you through your own experience of self-awareness and growth. Together we will learn new coping skills, overcome fears, embrace who we are and understand Self Care at a deeper level.
