Therapists in Alpine, NJ

I am a licensed and board certified creative arts therapist with a master’s degree from Pratt Institute. I integrate a trauma-informed care practice with humanistic, client-centered, and psychodynamic approaches. I believe in the strength of creative problem solving and coping skills to assist clients in reaching their goals through the healing process. I have worked with a wide range of populations and settings including: outpatient clinics with adults, respite programs with adults with developmental disabilities, school settings, and community-based programs with children and adolescents.

I feel that anyone who is looking for guidance and needs someone to help them along their journey is a client that I can help. Everyone of us has struggles and I want to help my clients reach the potential that they know they have and live the life that they always wanted for themselves.

I am a School Psychologist and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked with diverse clientele from many cultural, religious, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. Clients should expect a decrease in their anxiety, an improvement in their affect, an improved mood and strategies to improve their daily coping skills and functioning.

My motto is that progress is a process when implementing growth. Through exploration of thoughts and feelings, we will build a collaborative avenue for change. I utilize a patient-centered, strengths-based perspective, and trauma-informed lens. Through relationally-oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, we will create a safe space filled with empathy, warmth, and challenge. We will partner together to better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how you will build the tools to navigate both positive and difficult situations.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, confused about your life, sad, lonely or unsatisfied? Or perhaps you're struggling with difficulties in your relationships or other complex life dilemmas? Life's struggles are not meant to be conquered alone and I'm here to help! Using my caring, warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental counseling style, I can help you figure out what your emotions are communicating to you and support you in finding the best courses of action to take.
