Hi! I'm a licensed counselor in NJ and CA working for 18 years with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. I believe in a client centered approach where a safe, open environment is created and my client(s) is part of creating the counseling process. I utilize an integrative approach, pulling from different techniques that are best suited for a client's preferences and/or needs with a focus on client strengths. Progress looks like a client having more clarity and awareness of self, stability and calm within, harmony with how they interact with others and the world around them, and the ability to achieve desired goals.
I'm a trauma informed and focused counselor who values using a holistic approach where all aspects of a client and their story are welcome and encouraged to be part of our work together. There are many parts of who we are and understanding and making peace with all these parts is important for stability, growth, and healing.
I value positive connection and the desire to help one another above all else. Asking for help, being open to share who you are, and having open, honest dialogue is a very wise first step towards creating positive growth and healing. "The greatest trauma is not the bad things that happen to us, but rather that we go through these bad things alone." (G. Mate)
