In addition to my practice, I have also worked as an elementary school counselor and am trained in divorce mediation.
Life is full of changes and challenges. Some are easier; some are harder. When life becomes difficult, we often turn to others for help. For many, therapy can provide the safe place to work on the harder issues. Therapy can offer the opportunity to discover more about yourself, who you are, what you want and how to get there. It takes courage to take the 1st step - to call someone you don't know and then share personal information. I believe that the relationship between you and your therapist has to be built on trust and respect. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and confidential place to begin the process.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

As a Collaborative Divorce Coach, I assist couples in moving towards an amicable settlement resolution through learning to manage their emotions, communicate more effectively, and work more cooperatively together as a couple and as parents.
I consider myself a compassionate, skilled and intuitive therapist with 20+ year's experience in clinical and educational settings. My approach to therapy blends traditional methods (Cognitive/Behavioral, Family Therapy) with alternative methodologies (Psychodrama, Gestalt, Humanistic, Creative Arts Therapies and Advanced Integrative Therapy-a transpersonal energy psychology particularly beneficial for clients with trauma induced issues). I also bring a life-long appreciation of Eastern Philosophies to my practice. As an extension to working with couples in crisis, I am a member of the Mid-Jersey Collaborative Law Alliance (www.mjcla.org). In this capacity, I function as a Certified Divorce Coach/Child Specialist.

I approach therapy with warmth and empathy and, most importantly, without judgment. I think most of us judge ourselves quite harshly, and can be our own worst enemies. These judgments often stand in the way of accepting who we are and how we feel. I believe I can help you to gain insight into self-defeating patterns so that together we can move through challenges in order to achieve understanding and change.

Common feelings like "I don’t feel heard” or “I can’t seem to do anything right” are expressed by the couples I work with. Individual clients feel overwhelmed and stressed, “My life is changing dramatically and I’m not sure what to do next.”

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

An ideal client for a mental health professional would be an individual with a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc., who demonstrates the motivation to change and improve their well-being. This client should be committed to attending therapy sessions regularly, keeping appointments, and actively engaging in the therapeutic process to manage or overcome their diagnosis.

It is hard to say what my ideal client is because I believe that I am capable of working with various types of people and that each person is unique. Even with a "challenging" client, I have learned a lot and found value in the work. With that being said, my ideal client has a history of trauma that has impacted their ability to connect with others and themselves. They are struggling with body image, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety about how others are perceiving them. They want to be empowered to advocate for themselves when necessary and create a wellness routine that serves as a preventative measure for mental health problems.

My ideal client needs help with the services I specialize in. I typically consider the client's current habits and strengths to guide us on where to start goal setting. Showing up to therapy is a huge step, and I commend any client who takes that initiative.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
