Therapists in Trenton, NJ

The journey to parenthood can take many different paths. Are you finding that your path feels nothing like the pregnancy test and diaper commercials that promise rainbows, unicorns, and happy endings? Whether you have had a baby or are trying to have a baby, the journey can feel like you are on a never ending roller coaster, full of ups and downs, and unsure of what direction to go in next. The journey can evoke feelings of sadness, worry, fear, anger, loss and isolation. It can be overwhelming and confusing. It can leave you feeling like you don't recognize yourself anymore. You are not alone. I see you, I hear you, and I can help.

Hi.My goal is to help you grow, to find more peace, more joy, & create more ease in your relationships; with you, others & your world.

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." - Helen Keller. I personally can identify with struggle, physical & emotional pain, and the heartache of loss, but I also can testify to the beauty of joy, peace, perseverance, resilience, and hope. Difficult seasons create opportunities for growth & insight and help you to learn more about yourself and others. Healing is possible no matter what the problem is and I’m here to help you discover what that looks like! I have worked with diverse groups of children and adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings.

I am a licensed clinical social worker treating individuals, couples, families and groups. My experience as a psychotherapist has affirmed my belief that each of us has a great capacity to change and grow. Therapy offers no magical solutions. Rather, it provides an opportunity for exploration. It is a chance for the client, with the therapist by her/his side, first to imagine and then to create the best path to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

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. The focus in my practice is to provide quality, professional care for adolescents, adults, and couples through confidential counseling and consultation. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience.

Adjusting to life transitions, interpersonal struggles, or needing to look inward are compelling reasons to seek therapy. As a therapist with 25+ years of experience, I establish a confidential, trusting relationship and help individuals, couples, and families cope and move forward. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and transparent, informed by advanced training in treating trauma, evidence-based Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT) and family therapy.

People often come to a therapist because they want to talk about being anxious, being lonely, feeling depressed, having difficulty in relationships, feeling stressed and burned out, or having a hard time taking care of themselves and others. I aim to help people to reduce symptoms (e.g., anxiety, pain) and, more generally, to engage in personal growth and to foster a more connected, meaningful life by focusing on mind and body wellness. I will work with you to help you cope more effectively; in doing so, I focus on your strengths and potential.

Grief leaves you feeling hopeless and alone. Life as you know it has ended and everyone wants you to “get over it”. You don’t even recognize the person you have become. Following a loss, everything feels different. You don’t feel like you can relate to friends and the world around you as​ you did before.

I approach my clients from a place of empathy and compassion for the issues that have led them to seek support. In a safe and non-judgmental way, I seek to partner with clients to work through their challenges, help them to develop better understandings of themselves, and empower them to make decisions. I can also help clients to understand how past experiences and relationships may inform and influence the present. I work with individuals around anxiety and depression, chronic illness, coping with grief and loss, parenting and reproductive issues, and a variety of other concerns and challenges that arise in our everyday lives.
