Family Therapy in Wildwood, NJ

Good day to you! My educational background is in Clinical Psychology and Counseling Psychology with a Post Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis. I began my career in providing behavioral and mental healthcare services in 2004. Since that time, I have devoted myself to helping youth, adolescents, and adults address neurodiverse needs. In June of 2016, I founded Beautiful Minds to meet the mental and behavioral health needs of youth, families, and adults living in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

As family therapist, you can count on me to consider the challenges you are facing, and work to help you identify resources needed for both personal and relational healing. My therapeutic model is Contextual Family Therapy, an approach that considers issues of fairness in relationships, family of origin loyalties, and the balance of give and take (reciprocity) as a path to relational fulfillment. Recognizing that each person brings his/her unique view of life, you can expect that I will be open and work to help you realize the fullness of your potential as an individual and/or relational partner.

Hello! I am a doctorate level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with people of all ages with a variety of issues and concerns.

The adults and teenagers I work with, individually and with family supports involved, have made the conscious decision to meet with me in hopes of feeling better in whatever way is genuine to them, whatever they may be up against emotionally, mentally and behaviorally. In return, I find fulfillment and pride in developing a trusting, empathetic, and effective therapeutic partnership with the goal to process issues at hand, find accessible and effective solutions, and help them get back on track to a happier, healthier life!

I work with adolescents and adults, specifically those who are looking for support around experiencing anxiousness in their family dynamics, relationships, and path. I offer support around navigating challenges and healthy development. In turn, clients are able to increase their self-worth and confidence to embody who they want to be and live a rewarding life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I aim to help those who may be at a point of feeling voiceless, hopeless and at times lost. I provide clients with an empathetic, nurturing approach, while also encouraging self-reflection and working towards being your best self. I began my career working in psychiatric unit and crisis units, psychiatric community homes, and currently working with children, adolescents, and adults addressing their mental health needs. I enjoy creating a therapeutic relationship that allows for honesty, enthusiasm, and success.

I believe that therapy should be a partnership. Within that partnership we create an environment that encourages healing, compassion, and growth. I also understand the importance of providing culturally competent care to my clients. As we all come from different walks of life, it is important to recognize and apply those unique perspectives within the therapeutic setting. My focus as your therapist would be to help you lead an attainable and enjoyable lifestyle.
