Our thoughts, feelings, and our daily life can be overwhelming at times, I help people navigate through those difficult periods. I offer a warm and supportive place to talk about life's challenges, gain insight into one's thoughts and actions, and learn how to cope and solve problems. I have years of experience working with clients challenged with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, martial and family conflict, eating disorders, low self-esteem, school avoidance, women's issues, and parental support.

Call me at (908) 432-2547. I work with adults and youth on relationships, stress, anxiety, moods, and wellness. I focus on strengths and development. I know it is not easy to reach out, look inward, and commit to changes. I enjoy working with people who want to grow, creative people, successful people, underdogs, athletes, parents, educators, students, and people with potential to develop. I like working with people at points in their lives where they want to understand more about themselves, achieve more, and commit to wellness.

Do you want to thrive instead of just survive each day? Self care and self compassion are key components to mental and emotional health. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, family issues, low self-esteem, or stress management, you are not alone. Therapy is a place just for you, to be heard, validated and supported. I aim to help you better understand whatever issues you are dealing with and to learn positive, healthy ways to cope with and manage these stressors. My experience is primarily with late adolescent and adult women.

I am a Buddhist psychotherapist with a focus on helping all clients find wellness through the Four Immeasurables - happiness, joy, compassion and equanimity. I am passionate about helping people navigate life transitions and difficulties in a practical manner. I help clients focus on the present and work through anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, grief, and other related disorders. I am passionate about serving first responders, veterans, and their families. For more information please view my website at http://www.4ilifepractice.com.

I am passionate about helping people feel good about themselves and giving them the necessary tools to lead a happier, more fulfilling life. Through empathic listening, focusing on strengths, and facilitating behavior change, we will develop a plan to help you achieve your personal and professional goals. Challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and poor self-esteem, can worsen over time, and have a dramatic effect on your emotional wellness and physical health. These emotional experiences can impact our ability to achieve the goals of change we have set for ourselves.

My ideal clients are people who have been unable to find someone they can pull back the veil covering their heart because of past betrayals, lack of trust, cultural roadblocks, or some other barrier that keeps the true source of their burden hidden. You are looking for a space where you can be honest, not with me, but with yourself. You're looking for someone who can listen without judgment and accompany you on your healing journey. You are seeking someone to either walk with you through your journey and hold you accountable for the goals you set for yourself or for someone who can simply listen with an open mind.

Are you living an anxious, depressed, or angry life? Are you feeling lost, insecure, or struggling to find your place in the world? Do you wish you had better relationships, better self esteem, or a more fulfilling career? I understand how difficult it can be when you aren’t living the life you want but I’ve seen in countless cases how the therapeutic process can be transformational in helping you achieve the change you so desperately seek.

Have you heard the term “gaslighting"? Although a trendy psychological term, it’s a real phenomenon. Usually related to emotional abuse or "narcissistic abuse". Are you feeling depression and or anxiety? Do you feel like you’re in a codependent relationship? Do you question yourself and wonder why it's happening? Are you trying to manage a history of abuse, whether experienced during childhood or presently. Are you concerned about or have you been told you’re dealing with someone of narcissistic or borderline personality disorders?

If you're looking for substance abuse counseling, you may be frustrated to find that most services involve large groups filled with unmotivated and court-mandated clients, large time commitments, forced self-help participation, or clients with much more severe problems. Ayre Counseling offers world-class, innovative treatment that is the platinum standard in the treatment industry. I utilize a flexible, adaptive, and highly individualized approach. Rather than the traditional approaches of heavy confrontation and coercion, I provide the opportunity to change through the use of Evidenced-Based Practices that are delivered in an atmosphere of encouragement, optimism, and compassion.

A 12 year-old patient recently commented that our work together is like "a cocoon" & that at the end of the sessions, she leaves "stronger, lighter, & free." This profound insight is so meaningful to me since this is precisely how I conceptualize how psychotherapy works. Counseling can only be done in a trusting, gentle, & protective manner. Within this safe vessel, it creates in the person a sense of trust that will enable them to tolerate frustration, persevere, have confidence, and subsequently develop loving attachments in their adult life. This in turn, positively impacts health, optimism, hope, and life satisfaction.

You keep telling yourself that you’re overreacting. You desperately try to convince yourself that there’s no reason for you to be feeling so anxious, sad, and overwhelmed. But it’s no use. And the constant inner nagging and self-criticism only make things worse. You’re always on edge, prepared for some unseen danger lurking around the corner. You can’t sleep at night, and concentrating is becoming impossible. Every decision you need to make is over-analyzed and second-guessed to the point of complete paralysis. You desperately want to find peace, but nothing you’ve tried has helped. You’re out of ideas, and it feels hopeless.

Everyone faces challenging times in life, which often leads to people feeling sad, anxious and overwhelmed. Sometimes these issues feel insurmountable. My goal is to help you overcome these challenges in a safe and comfortable environment. I pride myself on being a warm, empathic and interactive therapist who can help you learn effective coping strategies.

People create meaningful change when they feel heard and validated. What I love about being a therapist is the ability to be a part of that process and help them adjust their perspective, confront challenges, and realize their worth and potential so they can create a value driven life. While my primary specialty is in anxiety/panic disorders and OCD, I work in a variety of areas, including creative/entertainment/sports professionals, men’s issues, sex/porn addiction, trauma, body and muscle dysmorphia, LGBTQ+ concerns, and anger management.
