Brick, NJ 08723
I have been working in the Social Work field for over twenty years specializing in children, adolescents and adults. I have extensive experience in diverse issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions and family dynamics. My approach is both traditional and non-traditional, which led to obtaining my certification in both EMDR and Brainspotting. These treatment modalities can greatly assist in the processing and healing from issues that are deeply-rooted and often not fully resolved with talk therapy alone. I have expanded to include highly-skilled therapists who share in my enthusiasm and love for this work.

Do you suffer from sexual or internet addiction? Substance or alcohol abuse? Depression or Anxiety? I have been successfully helping clients suffering from addiction, mood, and anxiety disorders regain control of their lives. I use my warmth, sensitivity, and humor to create a healthy and balanced therapeutic relationship with my clients. My philosophy is to help clients obtain the necessary skills they need to eventually "be their own therapist." This is achieved through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral and Insight Oriented therapy techniques. I challenge my clients to think, gain insight and understanding, and make concrete changes in their daily lives.

The journey through life's many transitions - successes and challenges, partnered and single, chronic illness and loss - and the feelings of anxiety, depression, fear that they evoke in us can cause us at times to feel alone and powerless. I would be honored to accompany you on your healing journey - whether your goal is to bring you closer to what you want personally or professionally, closer to those you love, or back to yourself - and I will work with you, at your pace, in a safe, nurturing environment. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". - Lao Tzu

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
