Family Therapy in 07649

In my practice I work with adults coping with depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relationship struggles, substance abuse and other problems of adjustment. My work with children and adolescents include: learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, oppositional defiance, anxiety, depression, and family conflict. I believe that a collaborative alliance based on mutual respect and understanding is the cornerstone of therapeutic change. I encourage client's to take an active role in the therapeutic process, while I aspire to remain as transparent as possible in this collaborative partnership.

The foundation of my work is based on empathy and open communication. For over 15 years, I've worked closely with families in crisis and in need of immediate intervention. I specialize in assisting children, adolescents, and adults with Anxiety, Depression, Selective Mutism, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Autism. Additionally, I also have experience in assisting victims of violence.

When unresolved lifelong challenges cause feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, proper diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve general well-being. My clinical experience encompassed serving families and individuals who are going through life cycle changes such as developmental delays, ADHD, coping with grief/loss, adjustment to divorce, parenting support, adoption, chronic pain, and family estrangement. I aim to empower my clients to discover their best selves by utilizing my clinical expertise, and providing them with essential tools needed to attain their highest level of independent functioning.

I recognize that people often have many different types of trauma in their lives. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and may be interpreted differently by each individual. Traumatic issues can range from bullying, loss of friendship, transitions of all types, to devastating life events. I have provided care to adolescents and adults suffering from emotional disturbances, as a result of trauma and loss. Subsequently these disturbances will interfere with school, work, and relationships and may ultimately prevent one from living a fulfilling life.

Have you lost a loved one to suicide and are now having difficulty finding anyone who understands what you are going through? Suicide loss survivors often feel significant guilt and responsibility for the suicide. They can also feel abandoned and betrayed by the deceased. Well-meaning friends, family members, and therapists may try their best to help but often exacerbate the pain and confusion the survivor is feeling. Imagine feeling understood by someone who has been there and can guide you along the path of recovering from the suicide of your loved one. I would like to be that person for you.

We live in a world of immense pressure. Both adults and children have to struggle with an exhausting list of responsibilities, a deluge of constant communication, and for many of us, the residual impact of trauma. We are pulled in so many different directions. It can feel isolating. It can feel overwhelming. But we can get through it. Everything you need to do so is already inside of you. Managing anxiety, coping with depression, resolving trauma, improving relationships, all of it is possible. Congratulations on taking the brave first step towards taking control and establishing a new pace of your life.

Making the decision to seek counseling can be an anxious time. It is important to select a good therapist that can help you work toward your goals. Therapy can be positive and rewarding, if you are committed to the process. It can give you a chance to explore thoughts and feelings regarding your relationships, family, professional life and overall happiness. Therapy can be active and solution-focused, or quiet and reflective. Most importantly it is always collaborative. I help clients work towards goals in a safe, nonjudgmental manner.

I am dedicated to helping individuals develop the skills to resolve interpersonal and psychological issues. I have specialty training in anxiety and depression, family therapy, grief/bereavement counseling, borderline personality disorder, and in health psychology; including pain and symptom management, anxiety reduction and adjustment to illness. I work with adolescents in the area of dealing with blended family issues, school avoidance, self harm and social anxiety. Regardless of the specific therapeutic issue, I take an individualized approach and focus on cultivating growth, insight and self-compassion.

I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs and expectations. You may be looking for help with relationships among family members or want to learn specific parenting techniques. You may be recovering from a traumatic life experience or uncomfortable and debilitating issues related to self-esteem, family and peer relationships, as well as career choices. I can help you better understand some of the reasons why you are unable to move to forward towards growth and independence at whatever your age.

I am a psychotherapist with experience in helping individuals and couples through life transitions, stressful events, and a variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, grief, loss, communication problems, and relationship difficulties. My role is to be a compassionate partner through your journey and help support, guide, and walk with you to help you find a place of authenticity, self-awareness, and peace. I have spent much of my career working with those going through fertility treatments (egg freezing, IUI, IVF, third party reproduction) and helping to work through the stress that is often associated with treatment.

Are you looking for a different way to respond to situations in your life? Although we know that "HOW" we respond is critical...we often feel we have little control over our response. We can lose sight of our better judgment, our strengths, and miss opportunities to either make the situation better or our response better. In our efforts to get rid of our problems or shoo them away, they are on our minds even more...making us feel overwhelmed and helpless. Considering or imagining other ways, of responding or looking at situations, is a matter of training the mind.

I believe the most important ingredient to achieve change, is a strong connection between the client and therapist. At Wildrose Psychotherapy, we are caring, empathetic and knowledgeable about interpersonal and relational issues. Your increased personal fulfillment and happiness, as well as learning how to manage your issues, are just a few of the benefits of therapy. Let's work through challenging issues such as parenting, divorce, substance abuse, negative self image, phobias and anxiety. . We are passionate about our work and look forward to working with you in a respectful environment.

When faced with life's challenges, sometimes we need help. Problems concerning marriage, family, and work can be emotionally draining, but with guidance, we have the resilience to work through these challenges. My practice focuses on trouble-shooting hardships; whether these hardships are personal, between partners, or within a family, the goal of our meetings is healthy functioning in the face of difficult situations. Emotional freedom is found as people increase their self-confidence. As clients progress through treatment, they often realize an improved "self" in addition to relief in the area they intended to "fix". This improved "self" enhances all areas of their lives.

Are you feeling down most of the time? Do you constantly worry about your future? Do you have problems relating to others? If some of these questions speak to you, you may want to talk to a trained therapist, who can help you to sort out the things in your life and help you to regain the lost time you spent alone. Some of the feelings you may have are quite normal. However, it becomes a problem when such emotions and feelings impede the daily functioning of your life, such as inability to work, difficulties with family relationships and friendships.

My patients often come to me seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and depression; I help them to develop better coping skills, mindfulness, and improved adjustment and communication skills. At times in life, many of us will require guidance in various areas to navigate interpersonal challenges:

I specialize in working with adults who are overwhelmed, stressed, or feeling lost and disoriented.

The good news is that there are positive ways to navigate life’s tests, and I am happy to help explore these paths with you. I work with people making small tweaks and huge overhauls to their lives. To me the size of change is a matter of perspective.
