Therapists in Bordentown, NJ

How has pain colored your lens? Clouded your thoughts and decision making? Impacted your interpersonal relationships? Work/School life? Most people don't realize that if pain goes unattended; it impacts every area of our lives; including how we see and experience the world and the people in it. Unattended to pain opens the door to destructive behavior patterns and declining motivation. Pain can show up in addictions, somatic/psychotic manifestation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, etc. When explored with the aide of a professional, that same pain can be utilized to help you discover the best version of yourself.

Hi! I am looking to work with women and people of color to help with a myriad of concerns, such as life transitions, stressors, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I recognize how these concerns impact women and people of color due to societal pressures and expectations. There is no need to work through it alone. Allow me to work with you as you take steps to achieve your goals. As a warm, empathetic clinician, I value a judgement-free space where we can work together to enhance your strengths and add skills to overcome various obstacles, process difficult emotions, and create goals to help you get to where you want to be.

Every person has unique needs and should be treated that way. My specialty in helping clients with trauma, grief, anger management, anxiety, life management, stress, depression, self-esteem, women's issues, and other challenges has allowed me the privilege of holding people’s most painful experiences and helping them towards the road of healing, recovery, and restoration in a warm and safe environment.

I'm a licensed social work clinician who loves working with people of all ages from children to adults and teens as well as families. I'm passionate about helping individuals and families struggling through life’s challenges and helping them to connect wholly with themselves and others. I am a firm believer that a “serene and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body” (Proverbs 14:30). My clinical interests and experience include grief and loss, anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, parenting, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and spirituality.

Welcome. I am a pastorally trained psychotherapist who works with people who are struggling with painful and difficult issues, events, people, and feelings-without quite getting to where they want to be. The work I do and like best is joining you in understanding the story of that struggle and moving it forward. The main personal values I bring to that work and offer to you are kindness, respect, and enthusiasm-with a premium on honesty, openness and curiosity from both of us. I view my work with clients and their stories as a powerful healing partnership.

My ideal client would be a middle-aged woman struggling with depression and anxiety and grieving the loss of a child, husband, or a close family member. I would start by assessing her needs and using the Beck depression inventory scale and the Beck depression anxiety inventory scale. I would use grounding techniques and CBT, such as scheduling activities, positive affirmations, and psycho-education on depression and anxiety. I would also encourage journaling, writing five things for which they are thankful daily, and writing letters to the deceased person.

You have had days that make you feel like switching off the sun, crawling underneath your skin, and checking out from this catastrophic cantankerous world. You have been emotionally shipwrecked by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and you feel broken beyond repair. Yesterday was too much, today you're drowning in the sea of despair; and, tomorrow should not see the light of day. Existing feels like too much to ask, survival seems impossible, and you're thinking, "I can't do this..." Maybe you can't, but we can, and we will. You may feel alone, but you are not alone. You may sway and bend, but you will never break.

Therapy is where healing begins and caring never stops. If you're willing to share, I've got a compassionate heart and emotional ears to listen to.

Nobody should walk through life alone. Difficult moments dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences; anger, grief, infidelity, betrayal; marriage, communication, relationship issues; or spirituality needs are eased with compassionate therapeutic guidance. Be courageous; take action!

I see life as a journey and counseling as an opportunity for an individual or couple to reach a greater level of health and joy. It is my hope to share in that journey.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience.

I have a particular interest in working with veterans, diverse peoples of trauma, geriatrics, and integrated health care. The ideal client is full of surprises and motivated to explore the limits of their potential. S/he will cross-examine, wholeheartedly endorse, and bring into the open what has yet to be uncovered. S/he will personalize what they notice/receive and share candid feedback on how to keep existing or try out new habits. S/he will utilize the available time to make use of what's keeping them stuck.
