Therapists in Westmont, NJ

Welcome to Coach & Counsel LLC. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful agent of change and that healing begins only in a space that is truly safe for self-exploration. In my practice, I work collaboratively with my clients; I believe that therapists are the experts of the process, and that clients are the experts of their own experience. I aim to create an empathic, compassionate and nonjudgmental environment, so that you can be unafraid to express any areas of yourself that have been tucked away.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, feeling overwhelmed or lost? Maybe you feel unfulfilled in your relationships, career, or other key areas of your life. If you are ready to explore these parts of yourself and interrupt patterns that are no longer serving you, I can help with that. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process which allows us to look at the areas that are causing distress, and identify ways to adjust your thoughts and behaviors to create positive change. I provide therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself openly and authentically.

I have been in the field for over 11 years. I have worked with adolescents and their families. I have worked with adults. In addition, I specialize in working with substance abuse and mental health issues. The mental health issues I have worked with have varied from anger and anxiety to parenting and couples counseling.

Transitions can be so difficult for us. If you are struggling with adjusting to a major life change, such as the end of a relationship or a significant loss, I can help you work through the challenges you are having and guide you in processing your feelings. If you are having difficulty within your relationship, I can work with you either individually or as a couple to improve communication, reconnect and understand each other better. If you are feeling depressed or anxious, I work closely with you to find the most effective ways to feel better.

Are you currently going through a difficult period of adjustment or often feel weighed down by anxiety or depression?

Are you stressed, anxious, sad, depressed, dealing with life adjustments, or just overwhelmed? Asking for help can be difficult and discussing personal struggles can be intimidating. Many of my clients are stuck, are looking to move forward, and want to be the best version of themselves. If you are looking to rewrite your life story, therapy can help.

Maybe you have anxiety, experienced trauma, or diagnosed with ADHD and you're looking to heal those parts. Perhaps you’re struggling with your partner, friends, boss, or parents and you’re looking to understand those relationships deeper. It can feel overwhelming and isolating working on healing from negative experiences, I get it. We may oftentimes find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure of where to go to next. I want to help you overcome that. Changing is not necessarily the answer, but rather growing into the version of you that you want to see.

Are you struggling with your mental health, your relationships, and/or your children? I’m here to offer compassion, hope, healing, and active support.

I am trained and practiced in addressing the root causes of suffering in individuals and relational systems, which allows me to provide the highest quality of care to children, teens, adults, couples, and families who have previously struggled to find therapy helpful.

Have life stressors and unexpected life events impacted your ability to feel your best? Demands such as the needs of family, work responsibilities, organization affiliations and life goals can leave you feeling depleted and asking yourself, "how did I get here?" Although the past can't be changed, one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and begin creating a life worth celebrating. As you journey to a path of inner peace, I will provide a safe space for you to uncover your hidden strengths, overcome challenges, achieve personal goals and foster positive and meaningful change.

Therapy assists in uncovering the true self. Learning how to recognize feelings enables people to understand themselves more effectively. During therapy individuals learn how to identify feelings and take control of their own lives. By learning how to pay attention to instincts and begin to challenge beliefs individuals can grow instead of stagnate. We promote personal growth and the establishment of healthy communication so our clients can achieve serenity within themselves.

A happier and healthier version of you can soon be your reality. Are you seeking growth and change in your life and finding it difficult?

Do you feel lost, sad, worried or unhappy with how things are currently going in your life? Do you or one of your loved ones cope with unhealthy behaviors, an addiction or substance abuse problem and you think it is time for a change? Are you seeking an alternative pathway to healing your inner self? You can get help.
