Therapists in Bayonne, NJ

Although quite wonderful, sometimes being human is HARD. I'm licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania with over 20 years full-time, clinical experience. I utilize evidence-based modalities to assist clients in finding new ways to better manage emotions, bring balance back, and help when things get rough. My client's ages range from early adulthood through the elderly, 20-80+. i work with individuals, couples and families in a safe, collaborative environment of self-discovery and growth.

Legacy Consulting, LLC is a practice providing treatment to adults, couples, adolescents and families to heal the past and create promising futures. Individual therapy focuses on the specific problems of each Client using modalities that treat unique issues. Couples therapy focuses on three key problem areas in partnerships: relationships, finances and sex. Family therapy works with the family as a whole to develop improved communication and mutual support among family members. Women's Recovery Group processes grief, divorce, alcohol/substance use and relationships.

Grounded in traditional evidence based therapy modalities learned while acquiring my LCSW, my additional education and certification in complementary and alternative medicine as well as spiritual psychology also allows us to explore additional creative and holistic methods to achieving overall wellness. My approach is to “meet clients where they are” with an initial goal of stabilization and helping the client to feel safety within themselves.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know sometimes the journey to finding help may be bumpy. So give yourself some props for making it here. At times we all face struggles internal, external, and often a combination of both. I have observed that often we can feel stuck from these experiences, even if we’ve tried to move on from them. That is because we need a little guidance to process and buff out the imprint that remains in our system. It is my hope to help facilitate a path to finding more ease, feeling better, and move towards the life you want.

If you have trauma that has been chasing you and you're tired of running, I can support you in minimizing the effect that trauma has on you so that you can move forward. If anxiety or depression are with you, I can support you with tried and true strategies to manage them. If you're a parent and you're struggling with communication with your teenager, I can support you and your teen with getting on the same page and having a better relationship. If you are an adult with ADHD or you're a parent of a child with ADHD, we will work together as you understand your diagnosis and how to manage symptoms - I got you!

Tara Brach speaks of being a bird with two wings. Often my thoughts turn to this when describing how I work. As a mindfulness-based and contemplative psychodynamic psychologist, I seek to help others find ways to gently turn toward their suffering, cultivating the capacity to hold that which is unpleasant in one hand, and that which is pleasant in the other. As the saying goes, "Suffering is optional."
