People create meaningful change when they feel heard and validated. What I love about being a therapist is the ability to be a part of that process and help them adjust their perspective, confront challenges, and realize their worth and potential so they can create a value driven life. While my primary specialty is in anxiety/panic disorders and OCD, I work in a variety of areas, including creative/entertainment/sports professionals, men’s issues, sex/porn addiction, trauma, body and muscle dysmorphia, LGBTQ+ concerns, and anger management.

Managing complex emotions and past traumas can be challenging, especially when trying to balance the difficulties of everyday life. It can often feel overwhelming to try to address these feelings on your own, though not addressing them can often be even more painful. In my practice, I seek to help my clients work through their challenges and become more aware of their patterns and thought processes. I provide clients with an empathetic and affirming space that allows them to feel comfortable tackling their issues, yet I also aim to challenge my clients to look beyond the obvious and recognize damaging behaviors.

Healthy is Wealth! Stress is a normal part of life caused by the challenges we face everyday. But when these challenges become overwhelming and lead to excessive crying, sadness, anxiousness, fatigue, or triggers us to abuse food, alcohol, drugs, or engage in risky activities, then it’s time to seek professional help. Negative thoughts/behaviors are our body's "alarm system" that informs us something's wrong and needs our attention. Left untreated, mental health problems can wreak havoc on our mind and body. Let's talk and see what's going on.

My passion is helping you on your journey towards a more fulfilling life. I aim to empower and support the people that I work with in taking control over their lives and achieving their goals in a relaxed and non-judgmental environment. Therapy is a collaborative process where we combine my knowledge of evidenced-based treatments together with your expertise and insight about yourself. I believe that effective therapy must include creating a safe, supportive, and validating environment that amplifies your strengths while addressing any obstacles in your way of making the changes that you wish to see.

People need solutions that work in real life. What I love most about the work I do, is that although I initially see people when they feel challenged or confused, as we work together they find courage, develop new skills, and feel more confident about themselves and in their lives. I have a passion for helping others, and with my insight and creative approach, I am able to help people to make profound, positive life changes. The purpose of my practice is to provide a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for exploration, and reflection.

Are you at a loss for how to help your struggling child/teen? Do you lay in bed at night filled with worry, wishing you could turn your brain off? Are you overwhelmed by the constant demands of school, work or life? No matter what stage of life you're in, sometimes life can feel out of control & messy. The reasons for seeking therapy are endless. Whether you’re feeling lost after a big life transition like graduation, divorce or having a baby; trying to put yourself back together after trauma; Or just trying to figure out who you are &where you fit into this thing called life - we all need a little help getting unstuck sometimes

No matter what you’re struggling with, there can be peace in your current situation and hope for your future. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand yourself. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, school-or work-related difficulties, low self-esteem, or family conflict, I am here to meet you where you are and walk with you on your path to personal flourishing.

I know it can feel like a challenge to ask for help - I know because I've done it myself. You've started to reflect on some of the things that have happened to you in life, maybe based on the way you were raised or significant events that have altered your way of living and thinking. You may feel stuck, you want more from your life and you want to change. You understand that in order to make change, you've got to work through some layers of your mind that can be inhibiting your growth. Allowing another person to hold your story with you sounds iffy but there is deep relief in knowing you are not alone.

I have 24 years experience in areas of anxiety, depression, coping skills, trauma, family dynamics, co-parenting, life transitions, grief and loss, self-esteem/identity and peer relationships. I balance empathetic listening and validation with a gentle nudge when it is time to do the work needed to make progress. Treatment will be tailored to your needs and may include Strength-Based, Solution-Focused, Attachment Based, and Mindful Practice modalities, among others. Mindfulness is not just telling clients to “take a deep breath”. It's more about learning coping strategies and making trauma-sensitive choices.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit my Psychology Today profile. My name is Kelly and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Central New Jersey. I work with individuals to improve their overall wellness through the use of Clinical Counseling techniques. Working from a person centered approach I understand health care is not "one size fits all" and the importance of tailoring treatment to your needs.

Change is not easy, change is necessary, change is the key. Without change, all things remain the same. I will work collaboratively with you to facilitate this process of change and help you to reach your personal goals. I have more than 2 decades of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings. My philosophy is that good mental health only occurs within a cultural context. As an anti-oppressive therapist, I employ a strength-based culturally sensitive, and holistic approach that allows me to support you through conflict and change.

There is no on-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed space for you to feel comfortable and work collaboratively with me through psychodynamic approaches to individual and relationship therapy.

At our practice, you will be supported by a dedicated team of compassionate and caring therapists. We are a trauma-informed, community-oriented practice that only uses evidence and research-based treatment modalities for depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and other life challenges and transitions. We believe in mind/body connection, so body-oriented skills are taught and incorporated into our therapy sessions. We will teach you/work with you on integrating mindfulness, meditation, grounding, and other effective coping skills to address emotional distress, change behavioral patterns and enhance relationships. All are welcome.
