Therapists in 05404

Each person experiences mental distress uniquely. My aim is to partner with my client to ensure their safety in our shared space, create a bond of trust, and then dive into problems and solutions. Whether one experiences identity- or event-based problems and whether those are caused by individual development or social conditions, I strongly believe in the innate ability of trusting partnerships to overcome the troubles in our lives. If I'm not the right therapist for a person, I will work hard to keep them safe until they decide how to move forward.

Currently building a waitlist with openings expected in late May. As a therapist, I value the pursuit of both acceptance and change. I believe we can all benefit from developing greater self-compassion, and learning new strategies that can help us grow. I aim to support people to feel empowered in their relationships with themselves and others so that they can navigate life with greater confidence. In our work together, I will support you in reaching your personal and interpersonal goals by providing a warm, nonjudgmental space for you to process your experience and develop concrete skills.

Life can be complex: relationships, family, school, work. Our lives can be further challenged by the unique aspects of our times. We are under constant bombardment of information, straining our ability to focus and compartmentalize. Factors such as trauma, shame and guilt further complicate things. My approach is to help "break it down and make it simple". This means helping people untangle their thoughts, pressures and feelings, while collaboratively devising plans aimed at learning to manage and alleviate whatever symptoms are causing distress.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing as a therapist since 2015. I currently work in private practice with Insight Therapeutic Services. I have served in a variety of settings including non profit agencies, inpatient and residential treatment, crisis intervention programs, school settings, as well as private practice. I am passionate about strengths-based, trauma-informed counseling for children, adolescents, and adults in a comfortable and welcoming private practice setting. I am currently providing services via telecounseling.

As a clinical social worker, I believe that we all have unique strengths and capacities to face the challenges in our lives. I work with my clients in a collaborative, empowering way. Through the therapy process, solutions and plans to move forward reveal themselves, as you grow more confident in your strengths, intuition and your vision for your life. Working with the stories and thoughts we carry about ourselves and the world, we work to create new ideas, beliefs and behaviors that will lead to a more fulfilling life.

I am now maintaining a waitlist; contact for scheduling options. Adolescence and adulthood are challenging; coping with anxiety, depression, and the daily barriers of life can easily complicate things further. You may struggle to cope with and find balance between the frustrations of school, relationships, work, and family. Maybe you feel it is time to focus on personal growth and seek harmony. Taking the first steps can feel extraordinarily challenging but I will be there to provide support and guidance within your journey. I believe everyone has the capacity to manage life's challenges and I can provide you the skills to do so.

Life can be tough and difficulties are unavoidable, but counseling can help strengthen your internal resources so you can navigate stressors more effectively. I work with adults to help them manage stress, ease anxiety & depression, and increase self-awareness. My approach is based in empathy & curiosity, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment. At a pace that is comfortable, we’ll work collaboratively to explore and process thoughts & feelings, clarify personal goals, and identify barriers to growth. Together we may explore strengths, practice skills, and identify strategies to facilitate the change you desire.
