Therapists in Turnersville, NJ

I am a warm, affirming, non-judgmental psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, and I work with an interactive, humanistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed, HAES-aligned, and transparent narrative therapy approach. I believe that people have the innate capacity to heal and change. We will work together to develop a deeper understanding of your life goals and perspectives, so that we can custom-tailor techniques to make life most meaningful for you. I am licensed to practice with people who reside in: NY, NJ, PA, VT, RI, DE, SC, FL. I work with individuals and couples/relationships of various configurations.

As a licensed psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey, I offer in-person and virtual sessions to individuals, couples, and families. If you and your partner are constantly arguing or not communicating at all, a 4-session discernment therapy may be the best starting point to address issues in a supportive, conflict-free zone. If you are separated or divorced, please reach out for more information on a weekly support group.

Do you yearn to be in a fulfilling relationship, where you feel alive, desired, and connected to your partner? It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that your relationship problems are "just a cycle" or that "all marriages go through this”. You may find yourself feeling sad and hopeless about your marriage being stuck in a rut for too long, but you can turn this around. You can transform your intimate relationship into a vibrant and sexy connection with your partner. With me, you’ll learn how to explore, experiment, and express your intimate desires, plus gain access to effective communication tools to take home.

Transitions can be so difficult for us. If you are struggling with adjusting to a major life change, such as the end of a relationship or a significant loss, I can help you work through the challenges you are having and guide you in processing your feelings. If you are having difficulty within your relationship, I can work with you either individually or as a couple to improve communication, reconnect and understand each other better. If you are feeling depressed or anxious, I work closely with you to find the most effective ways to feel better.

I work with people suffering from various mental health conditions: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, or grieving a loss. In my 25 years as a therapist, I have worked with patients from diverse cultural, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. In the recent years, my focus has been psychotherapy, support and psycho-education for people with acute or chronic medical conditions. The achievements of modern medicine do not replace attention to potentially devastating psychological effects of being sick, yet doctors often overlook or ignore them, leaving us to cope with fear, loneliness, and critical decisions to make.

I am a clinical social worker skilled and experienced in providing individual, family and group therapy to adults, adolescents and children. My style is non judgmental and I am sensitive to the needs of each individual. I use techniques that are eclectic, drawing on cognitive, behavioral, dialectical, narrative, psychodynamic, positive and humanistic psychology. I utilize evidence-based practices to help you achieve lasting growth by tailoring an individual treatment approach. I also use Motivational Interviewing techniques to help you to achieve desired goals.

I work with people who are dealing with stress, relationship issues, and family conflicts. Some are afraid they are "not good enough", or struggle with people pleasing, which comes at a great cost to themselves. There are those who have a hard time figuring out who they are and what they want in life. My job is to help you manage stress, improve relationships, find out your wants and needs, and gain more self-confidence. The first step is to get a sense of one each other, in order to gain comfort and figure out what interventions will work best.

You are tired of thinking about the worst-case scenarios when it comes to your work and current/future relationship. You tired of listening to the never-ending dialogue of your inner critic that you are not good enough that keep you stuck. You are tired of accommodating others but not putting yourself first without tremendous guilt or feeling selfish. You want to feel empowered, gain confidence, and access your resilience. It’s time to get joy and excitement back into your life. It's time to start showing up for yourself! I work with individuals and couples to get unstuck from negative thought patterns and behavior.

**ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS**Are you feeling emotional pain and don't know what to do? Are you tired of feeling that way? Are you struggling with negative self-talk that impacts your relationships at home and at work, as well as self-esteem? You don't have to go through this alone.

I believe creating a comfortable, warm, and of course confidential environment is key. Sharing one's thoughts and feelings can be difficult work, but careful, compassionate listening, thoughtful reflection and a sense of humor can make it easier to engage in the therapeutic process.

Together, we will consider your experiences from early life, patterns of relating and refine goals for cultivating a satisfying, meaningful life.
