Have you experienced an event in your life that brings repeated negative thoughts and feelings? Do you feel stuck in life or in your relationships? Do you feel like you're just going through the motions? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you're in the right place. A good therapist is like a mirror that helps you see parts of yourself and others that you may not see on your own and for over 25 years I have worked with people to help them to make the changes needed for happiness and the life they deserve.

Counseling is more than telling your story. It is a dynamic process we engage in together, compassionately and diligently. It couples personal exploration with education. Having completed the level 1 training for Internal Family Systems I create a safe space for all parts of self to be present in the room. All parts are welcomed and honored as an intricate part of creating who we are. I also utilize an active Sensorimotor and trauma informed approach to help you re-establish emotional and relational balance. Whatever struggle you are facing: depression, anxiety, addiction, troubled relationships, the therapeutic process can help.

I have worked in a variety of settings, including private counseling, inpatient treatment, schools, and family centers. I have successfully partnered with many clients to better their lives by advancing their emotional well-being and by giving them the tools to develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships. The goal is to promote self-awareness and self-regard, which lead to the emergence of one's best self.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by daily stressors, struggling with internal thoughts and judgments or stuck in your anxiety, depression or relationship patterns, these challenges are often difficult to navigate on your own. I follow a solution focused and cognitive-behavioral orientation to therapy, which focuses on how thoughts affect the way people feel and act. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental, collaborative, and strengths-focused, yet tailored to each client. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and insightful environment in order to help individuals work through their stressors.

Feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of everyday life? Many individuals, just like you, often find themselves at a crossroads, questioning whether a solution actually exists. That is until they discover the transformative power of EMDR therapy. EMDR therapy can expedite your healing journey. Through bilateral stimulation or eye movements, EMDR helps you reprocess traumatic memories that might be at the root of your overwhelm.

If you are worried about your child or teenager, if school is getting difficult or they are shut down or explosive at home... I can help. I have been working with children and families for over 30 years. My focus is to help you become happy, good, supportive parents. I work with the children to help them mature, trust, and communicate, and the parents to help them understand the needs of their children. I have a great deal of experience with divorce, co-parenting, conflict, developmental needs, sexuality issues, and learning challenges.

Hello! My name is Danielle and I am a New Jersey and Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 10+ years of experience working with children, teens and families. Many clients I have worked with have struggled with managing their anxiety and depression. Parents often feel helpless as to what to do. I have also worked with many families who are struggling with managing out-of-control behaviors from their children. My goal in therapy is to start where you and/or your family are and to give you the tools to reach your personal goals.

What brings each person to therapy is unique. When you are looking to process or work through a change in your life, it is important to feel a sense of comfort and confidence in a clinician. Grief, loss, family changes, professional changes, relationship challenges, feelings of depression or anxiety are some examples of what might be behind your interest in beginning therapy. It is courageous to take this first step. I will support your individual process in a personalized way, honoring your feelings and journey with unconditional support. One size does not fit all when it comes to therapy or finding the right therapist.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that all couples and individuals should take the time to nurture themselves and their relationships. When couples get stuck in the same interaction cycle, the pattern must be broken. I enjoy helping couples to decode their messages to each other, repair bonds, increase security, and their rebuild connection with healthy interaction patterns. Also, as a Certified Grief Counselor I also enjoy helping individuals walk through their grief journey. Grief is as unique as your fingerprint, and by talking through the many grief emotions we can help you process and take steps forward.

Young people have a lot of issues they are facing today. Whether it is school, social or family related triggers, I seek to work with children, teens and young adults who are encountering struggles in their lives. These can include emotional regulation, unwanted thoughts and behaviors or conflicts in their lives. Clients who have the desire to make some changes to their lives and work towards their goals are needed!

We all have the power to take control of lives. Guiding clients to understand and harness this power is a passion of mine. I strive to create a collaborative, and non-judgmental atmosphere in therapy. I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist with experience in treating issues related to autism, ADHD/ADD, anger, family dynamics and caregiver coaching in addressing problem behaviors. I believe in utilizing an integrative approach to therapy tailored to meet each client’s needs and goals.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

An ideal client for me is someone who has difficulty managing their emotions, engages in frequent negative thinking, and has trouble communicating their needs with family and friends. They want to decrease their anxious or depressive behaviors but have little knowledge of how to begin regulating their emotions.

I have a true passion for working with adults and adolescents who are suffering from an inability to form healthy relationships with their loved ones. My office offers a warm setting for people of all ages to feel safe and explore their "child within". I use play and art therapy as well as evidenced based techniques to empower parents and help them to connect with their child and unlock their full potential. I love helping families grow with healthy coping skills. I also truly enjoy working with adults to explore their own past and how it affects their relationships today.

In life, we all experience trauma and stress that cause us to feel stuck. As a therapist I understand that healing is a process that involves a mind-body-spirit approach to treatment. Therapy is an opportunity to honor our truth and to work through the resistance and fear that hold us back from achieving personal growth. My office is an accepting and non-judgmental environment that welcomes everyone of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

My number one priority as a therapist is to offer a deep connection in a safe and supportive environment to allow each person to show up as their truest self. Starting from building this foundation, I can offer a variety of paths from there, including but not limited to CBT and DBT skills, grounding and mindfulness practice, addressing, depression, anxiety, general mood concerns, & more, or just a safe space. I primarily work with adults and teens in individual, couples, or family work. As part of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I have a passion for working with the community.

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or just wanting to improve your life overall, I'm here to help. My goal is to provide my clients with as much support and guidance to explore and process whatever challenges life throws at you. Together, we can create goals that are unique to you and your needs.
