Therapists in 06340

In choosing a therapist, ask someone trusted, but remember they have their own biases. Consider someone State Licensed and check their complaint or malpractice history. Inquire about negotiating a "self pay fee", your therapist will work for you, not your insurance company. Look for someone with more life experience than you. Look for someone who is a parent, is married or has experienced divorce, has lived with grief or watched their own parents age. Request an initial consultation session and ask about professional experience and certifications. Remember, the therapist relationship fit is most important to counseling success. lastly, listen to your conscience,

I believe that through a strong therapeutic relationship, I can support you in healing from past wounds in order to live the life you deserve and reach your greatest potential.

Relying on the help and support of others can be uncomfortable. You may be at the point in your life where you are in desperate need to talk to someone. Maybe you are struggling internally, pushing your feelings determined not to show them, afraid of backlash from friends and family, or dealing with this constant idea of being "normal." It is always the right time to explore where you are now, where you want to be, and how you can get to where you want to be. The great thing about this journey is that you don't have to do it alone.

Based on my 25 plus years of working as a clinical therapist, I believe that given the right support, everyone has the ability to resolve their issues and rewrite the stories of their lives. As each individual's path to wellness is unique, I utilize an integrative, holistic approach tailored to each specific client to optimize the therapeutic experience and ensure the best possible outcomes.

The hardest part is taking that first step. Be brave and take that step - you can do hard things - this is the only way to grow and change.

I have a broad range of counseling experience and have worked with many personal, behavioral, and cultural issues over my 20+ year counseling career. I utilize a holistic approach to help you create positive change within your life. We all encounter transitions in our lifetime (e.g., divorce, relationship issues, illness, death of loved ones, occupational conflicts, separation from employment, end of military service, empty nests, etc.), but it is often the way we respond to these challenges more than the actual challenges themselves that impacts our overall physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

I am certified to work with individuals starting at age 16, as well as couples and families. I have experience in working with clients who struggle with trauma (PTSD), anxiety, panic, ADHD (all types), depression, physical disabilities, and navigating the ADA legal system. I have over a decade of experience working with military families, legal issues, criminal issues, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

I am here to meet the client where they are at in this moment. I will provide a safe and nurturing environment to hear my client's story. With compassion and in a collaborative effort we will out line the goals and objectives for treatment. These goals provide benchmarks for growth. As we reach these goals together we will reassess and make a determination about areas to focus and set new goals and objectives. Establishing trust and building a strong therapeutic alliance is the cornerstone of my practice.

Navigating life can often feel like an uphill battle. Anxiety may feel like a constant companion, with worries and fears manifesting in a variety of ways. With the right support, you can learn strategies to help you cope with your anxiety and feel better.
