Therapists in 08542

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) with extensive experience in the treatment of substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders (psychiatric & biomedical). I am an empathic, culturally sensitive practitioner who understands that the process of finding someone who understands life situations may become overwhelming. I work with each of my clients to make sure that they get the support they need to process their feelings and emotions. I specialize in adults who experience difficulties with substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety or major life changes? Many people engage in unhealthy (overeating, compulsive shopping or self harm) or addictive behaviors (alcohol, drugs or gambling) to escape emotional pain- feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness or anger. Recovery begins with connecting to others who understand you. I invite you today to call to take first steps to a better life. I offer day, evening and weekend hours. Please leave a message if I dont pick up and I will call you back with 48 hours.

Life gives us so many challenges, from navigating past to current stressors, finding our place in this world, especially realted to minority status and overall feeling heard. Sharing our struggles can be challenging especially with a stranger. In the therapeutic relationship my goal is to let my understanding of the importance of empathy allow my client to feel validated and let their story of their journey be heard.

I help adults to make sense of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that result from a dysfunctional or traumatic childhood, and together we identify tools and skills to help you feel hopeful, empowered, and in control of your life. We will explore the source of triggers that cause you to react in ways that are ineffective, and find creative alternatives to encourage and empower you.

I specialize in working with adults who are overwhelmed, stressed, or feeling lost and disoriented. If you’re here, you have taken a powerful step towards finding the balance, clarity, and resilience you deserve. You are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, uncover your true potential and are seeking guidance toward a more authentic life. You need to find the right support to fit your needs. We use a collaborative approach rooted in empowerment to provide support and tools for navigating challenging times.

My approach to therapy is practical With over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults I focus my energy with clients on the present. I help my clients identify their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are creating difficulties for them. I will help you use skills you already have or develop new techniques for managing difficulties in your life. If issues from the past are keeping you from managing your present life we will work together to neutralize issues from the past, so you can manage current life stresses with current, more effective techniques.

I help adult gay men live without fear, pain, confusion, and self-destructive behaviors. Their symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, and self-loathing get in the way of the life they want to live. They worry I will judge them for how they are living their lives. However, they want to overcome their inner limitations, use of drugs, porn, "dating" apps, overachieving, and live a life with deeper connections, real freedom, and dignity.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step to make positive changes in your life. Let me help you navigate your next steps. Your truth is that your big picture and outlook is good, but it's the small details in your life that has caused your current setback. Maybe your values and goals are not aligning with your current direction and status, and it's time for a tune up to get your life going again. Life is good, but you know, it can be so much more fulfilling!

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey practicing since 2007. Taking care of your mental health is essential to your overall health and well-being. It takes courage to ask for help when you need it, and seeking therapy is a sign of strength. My role as a therapist is to guide you in this journey and offer tools that will help you become your own therapist. I only see a limited number of individuals for therapy in order to give each person the attention and flexibility they deserve.

The last couple of years have left us feeling isolated, lonely and definitely confused! Plans and goals were derailed leaving some of us to wonder how things will change... I call this the "worried-well". This is a way that functioning individuals focus on the negative, despite success in everyday life. But there is a way out of this and into a more positive, life-embracing mindset!
