Therapists in Toms River, NJ

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Footprints began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Do you feel lost, sad, worried or unhappy with how things are currently going in your life?

Sometimes our life stories become disjointed. Experiences of trauma, loss or shame become split off and we struggle to find ways of integrating those experiences into a coherent life narrative. It is within the context of a safe relationship that one can begin to weave experiences together and to find a core part of ourselves that is peaceful, wise and empowered. My work with adults is grounded in a multicultural, liberatory, decolonizing approach and my stance is non-judgmental and respectful of people's lived experiences. I draw upon psychoanalysis, object-relations, existential therapies and internal family systems.

Providing my clients with a comfortable, open, non-judgmental environment is key to developing a trusting relationship. I have found it to be so important for my clients to recognize and build upon their own strengths. In our work together we can establish definable goals for treatment and uncover various patterns that developed over time. After obtaining a Master's Degree from Columbia University, I had the opportunity to work in both inpatient, outpatient, and private practice settings. I specialize in working with individuals of all ages who are dealing with anxiety, self-destructive behaviors, or adoption-related concerns.

I firmly believe that every child, adolescent, and adult has the capacity to change, if offered an opportunity for inner exploration and growth. Together you can embark on this journey and achieve your goals. Everyone needs hope, guidance, and encouragement. I will help you to feel empowered by sharing practical tools and techniques that facilitate positive growth. Therapy can be a healing and life-changing experience, which is beneficial for everyone.
