Welcome to My Therapy Connection™! We are a group of highly trained, experienced and competent therapists whose purpose is to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to heal & grow. We are staffed with multiple therapists who were carefully selected to provide the highest quality of care for those in need of support.

Our Mission is to develop therapists into highly trained clinicians and offer therapeutic services to individuals, couples & families.

I have been working with children and adults for over 20 years, diagnosing and treating mental health issues. I believe there is a very large range of "normal" and we all struggle with life at times. My professional goal is to provide a safe atmosphere to identify and discuss stumbling blocks and guide others to a place where they can confidently be themselves, fulfill their potential and find joy. It can be challenging to ask for help, but taking that risk and facing your fears opens up a world of possibilities.

I thrive when working with young women. Whether they’re struggling with school-related stress or struggling to process a breakup, I can quickly build rapport with folks in this demographic. My treatment plans include goals dedicated to helping people identify their triggers for emotional dysregulation. I believe in the importance of somatic and cognitive level wellness strategies and work to have my clients learn and implement both sets of skills. I have enjoyed working with a variety of diagnoses, including adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.

Life can be hard enough without the added pressure of living up to judgements, opinions, and expectations. You are checking off boxes except where your self-care is concerned. The top priorities are about everyone else and you feel, left behind, because you are not where you desire to be mentally, physically, and/or spiritually. You stress, doubt yourself, and take what feels like the "easy" way out. Caring less about your needs, wants, and desires in an effort to mask the hurt, stress and anger. You deserve space to focus on "you" and focus on those areas that are important to you and will help support and empower your success.

My ideal client is a young adult under the age of 35 who may have difficulty with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, adjusting to new circumstances, stress, family strain, relationship issues, and cultural stress.

I am a relationally oriented psychotherapist offering treatment to those living in NY, PA, and NJ seeking relief from emotional suffering. I practice from a contemporary psychodynamic orientation, paying careful attention to the ways in which our sociocultural experiences inform our psychological development. I regard symptoms as opportunities for growth when approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect. I am committed to building an energetic and collaborative therapeutic relationship that can help you better understand your motivations and needs, and experience a more authentic connection with yourself and others.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I love using the skills I've developed to treat those going through trauma, depression, anxiety, mental illness, and other challenges. I have 5 years of experience working one-on-one with children and their families in an in-home environment. Though I work with adults as well, one of my niches is working with adolescents and teenagers.

My extensive training and own life experiences make me feel passionate about helping others. I am trained in different approaches and I tailor treatment to your present needs, in an eclectic, individualized and non-judgmental way. I think empathy and trust is crucial to a therapeutic relationship. I am experienced with all ages from childhood to geriatrics. I would love to help you by listening and guiding you through the therapeutic process.

I strive to provide a safe space to work through emotions and find effective ways to manage them. I help people process the ways that our past experiences and current reactions affect the decisions that we make in order to promote healthy change and understanding of ourselves and our patterns. Oftentimes, we are not aware of the underlying things that influence our gut reactions which can create a barrier to us meeting the goals we set for ourselves. Counseling is a way to help you understand yourself better and to break down those barriers that stop you from moving forward.

Here are two things I think are important about therapy: 1) People can find relief for symptoms like worry, loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, and craving; and 2) People can build psychological strength. Psychological strength allows people to have more fulfilling relationships, use their capacities more effectively, and bring more flexibility and creativity to problems in living.
