Therapists in Pottersville, NJ

Sexuality is an important part of people's lives. When there is a sexual challenge or difficulty, it often spills over into other aspects of our lives. Ignoring it or trying to figure it out on our own is rarely effective. The professionals at The New Jersey Center for Sex Therapy are here to offer solutions. Our caring and compassionate professionals are ready to help you and to support your search for answers. We offer the key skills which you can acquire in order to attain confidence and gain insight into your sexual issues.

Have you ever felt like the world was ending or has your mind raced with a million thoughts and worries? Have you ever experienced high conflict in a relationship thinking things will never change? Did you ever struggle to accomplish what you think are basic tasks or lack the motivation to get out of bed in the morning and brush your teeth? Sometimes life can just feel overwhelming. These struggles are more common than you think and you are not alone.

So many of us struggle in life, but the worst part is, we struggle in silence. I’m here to listen to whatever part of your story you want to share, whether it’s your past, your present or everything in between. I hope through listening I can help guide you to what you already know within yourself, but might not be able to see right now. Wherever you are in your journey in life, I’d like to help you through the journey.

"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it"- This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day off because it is so true. Things happen to us throughout our lifetime that make us feel stuck, worthless, guilty, shamed, and like we are never enough. These ideas about ourselves dictate the way we learn, how we do in school and work, and how we love and connect to others. When someone has experienced trauma, these thoughts and feelings can be even more extreme which can cause significant distress. Growth and Empowerment is accepting new clients!

Heal your past so you can live in your present, and then plan for a future worth living. I see my job as being a guide. I utilize creative modalities to guide you in facing burdens you carry from the past, so you can put the pieces of your life back together.

I work with individuals managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, CEN, and trauma. My clients are provided unyielding support, wraparound care, resources, practical strategies, and meaningful active listening that encompasses reflection and interventions (when appropriate). I believe in creating a unique and tailor made therapeutic approach for each client. By utilizing an eclectic mix of practical evidence based methods we address the obstacles you are currently navigating and find tangible solutions, explore healthy coping mechanisms, and process feelings in a safe and therapeutic environment.

Overwhelming emotions such as fear and anxiety, and sadness and loss can make each day a struggle. Alternately, feeling numb may cause a hollowness in living. Perhaps you wonder what has happened to you or your life. However, becoming more at ease, stronger, and more vibrant is possible. You can find a sense of peaceful empowerment, inner strength, and an increased capacity for living. Imagine trusting yourself to handle what life may bring. There are practices to help you achieve these outcomes. I am experienced with these practices and will share them with you.

Through building awareness, practicing mindfulness, challenging outgrown patterns of thinking & doing, and increasing positive experiences/emotions, we can connect, heal, and grow.

Do you wish life would slow down so you can take a breath? Stuff has been piling up and now your relationships are strained, your social life isn't what you want, and you don’t even really know who you are. However things got to this point, you know you want life to be different and don't want to wait anymore. Many of my clients are hesitant to start therapy or have had trouble connecting with other therapists. I get it! Let's be real, vulnerability is scary as hell. Together we’ll discover or reconnect with your truest self, cultivate healthy habits, identify unhelpful patterns & gain tools to go through the changes of life.

Whether you feel burdened by sadness or stress, worried about your personal relationships, or puzzled by sexual difficulties, there is hope. Over the years, I have seen many people enter the therapeutic journey with doubt and hesitancy, and emerge with a renewed sense of meaning and joy in connecting with others. I am passionate about what I do and I deeply believe that good psychotherapy can transform lives. I hold a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and have post-graduate training, as well as special interest, in addressing sexual issues, relationship difficulties, and struggles with life transitions.

Welcome to my practice. I specialize in treatment with children, adolescents, and adults using a relational/cognitive behavioral approach. I work with anxiety/ depressive disorders, trauma disorders, sexual behavior problems, marital/family matters, and high conflict situations, including post-divorce issues. I am happy to offer confidential, professional counseling in a safe and relaxed setting. With 20 years of practice, I am confident that people can work toward change and really make it happen. I believe in evidence based treatment with goals. After all, you are coming to therapy to get better. You deserve to gain the results you want.

Taking the first step towards therapy can be a difficult process. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We can't change difficult situations of the past. We can work together to understand and resolve challenges in life. By applying integrative, holistic therapy approaches and techniques, we will identify behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more meaningful life. If you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation, I will help you to achieve your goals.

I am interested in helping people explore and confront self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to provide a warm, respectful, and relaxed environment to help you uncover, process, and release the roots of emotional pain, and to create pathways for more joy, resiliency, and meaning in life. As healing unfolds and insights deepen, old patterns make way for a new quality of life - for better relationships with others and with your self. The techniques I use in treatment vary, while my commitment is always geared towards the needs and goals that we establish together in treatment.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. My direct work focused on providing counseling services to parents and their children. Services provided included case management, individual therapy, family counseling, marital therapy, and psychoeducation. In addition, my experience lies in working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, parenting education, children's behavioral issues, and relaxation/mindfulness. I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I pride myself on consistently attending new trainings and webinars to stay educated and informed.

Life can be highly complex, with obstacles overwhelming the healthiest of minds. The decision to seek counseling is often not an easy one. Successful therapy is more than the absence of symptoms or issues, it is a life enriched with increased self-awareness/compassion/empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenging restrictive/limiting beliefs/behaviors, and grow toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there's true and honest connections with others, but more importantly within oneself. Finding and using your "inner voice" is often the key needed to begin meaningful change.

I empathize with the strength and courage needed to reach out and ask for help; this initial step can be the most difficult in the treatment process. Keeping this in mind, I strive to ensure the initial session is a comfortable and empowering experience. My primary focus will be getting to know the individual, couple or family and identifying treatment goals. I will assist the client in working towards realistic goals within a therapeutic framework based on personal needs. I believe building a therapeutic rapport is a critical component of the process as it works towards creating a healing enviroment.
