Therapists in Morristown, NJ

My practice is built on the belief that anxiety, conflict and self doubt do not have to be an all encompassing part of anyone’s everyday life. My passion is to work with teens, couples, individual adults, and families. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, strength-based, solution-focused and culturally sensitive approach to counseling. I believe taking part in therapy is courageous and shows a willingness to grow and make positive change. I am continually impressed by the resilience of my clients and consider it my privilege to provide therapy.

It is a privilege and honor to work in the field of mental health and wellness. I have the utmost respect for the individuals and families with whom I work. Making the choice to come to therapy is a difficult-even intimidating-decision. But it can also be empowering and rewarding. I provide a safe, supportive, and accepting environment. I have experience in Family Systems, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. I have worked with a diversity of challenges such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, school problems, divorce, relational problems, and adjustment to life transitions

Work. Family. Friends. Why can't life be simpler? With multiple deadlines, a growing to-do list, and a family and social life that demands attention. You know that you can be successful, but you're beginning to think that you are dropping too many balls. The constant pressure to perform is turning into unrelenting anxiety and your performance is suffering. Therapy sounds like it might be a good idea, but no way can you dedicate seasons or years to making things better. Your work cannot wait, your spouse/lover cannot wait, you cannot wait. Efficiency is critical. Confidentiality is critical. But you're ready to do what it takes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in a variety of settings. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and my Masters in Social Work from NYU. I worked with military Veterans for over 13 years in a variety of settings. Additionally, I have extensive experience with high-risk clients with a myriad of diagnoses, including Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and PTSD.

I believe strongly that clients come in all different shapes and sizes and from different walks of life. Therefore, I do not have an ideal client, as my wish is to help anyone who needs it regardless of their experiences, needs, and goals. I welcome the experiences I will gain from having diverse clients.

Taking the step to reach out to a therapist takes courage, so I appreciate your willingness and desire to start therapy, increase support, and make healthy changes in your life. My primary goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you. We will navigate your journey together in that space, starting where you are now and collaborating on future goals. Utilizing a person-centered approach, you’ll begin to unlock skills you have within, develop new ones, and strengthen your overall coping strategies and mental health.

Virtual sessions only. Do you want to create a more peaceful and happy life for yourself and/or your family? Together, we can address your concerns and achieve your goals without judgment. I have over 20 years of experience in the field working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I am most passionate about working with adults dealing with relationship, family, phase of life and communication issues, parenting issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adoption, disordered eating, generational trauma and more. I use humor and a humanistic collaborative approach to help you achieve your therapy goals.

So glad you've started this process and found yourself here. In therapy, you will find a dedicated space just for you, where I fully encourage, and want to see, your authentic self. Whether you are experiencing sadness, relationship concerns, anxiety, or difficulty with adjustment, the main goal is for you to grow, develop coping skills, and make new meaning out of your experiences, even in the situations which can cause great distress. We may work particularly well together if you're looking to explore your sense of self, identity, social justice concerns, trauma, and relationship challenges.

My ideal client is a young adult aged between 18-30. Their issues and needs may look like learning how to control anxiety symptoms, increasing emotion regulation and distress tolerance while improving mindfulness. This client is motivated and willing to work with the therapist to learn how to change their life to meet their goals.

You want to move past racing thoughts and avoiding your life. Past sadness and low motivation. Past the same draining arguments with your partner. Past experiences that follow you and won't stay in the past. And past big decisions that get you stuck. You are looking to get out of feeling overwhelmed. You want to learn how to get more control. You want more than mediocre cookie-cutter therapy. You want therapy that is personalized for you and about you. You want therapy that fits into your stressful life. Even if asking for help is hard for you, you’re at a point where you are ready to do it because you want something to change.

Many of the children and adults I work with identify that they have challenges communicating with others, feel misunderstood, experience periods of self-doubt, and want to develop a stronger sense of connectedness to their family and friends. When people begin to work with me, I want them to feel safe and validated.
