I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in working with adults who are interested in doing the internal work needed to become their authentic selves. I am particularly interested in working with women's issues, parent guidance, mind/body connection, and spiritual exploration and development. It is my intention to help clients move towards greater physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance by utilizing holistic healing modalities. I would be honored to be part of your healing journey as we work collaboratively to address the emotional layers that hold you back and block your self expression.

I firmly believe that the mind, and body are interconnected. We often pay more attention to our mind than we do to our body. My hope is to support you in strengthening that connection so you may feel the most empowered when handling life's joys and challenges. The way I approach our therapeutic relationship will depend on what problems/supports you are hoping to work on with me.

Hi! I'm Jen, and I am a psychotherapist, seeing clients via telehealth/video only, with licensure in MA, CA, WA and IN. I work with individual adults and see clients for EMDR for trauma-related disorders, and other conditions. I have clinical experience with anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic illness, LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationship issues. I additionally specialize in working with those who identify as polyamorous / ethically non-monogamous. Lastly, I am passionate about working with highly sensitive people! I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with clients who are going through big or small life changes, from emerging adulthood struggles related to the college experience, to the transition to independence, to becoming a new parent, or just everyday struggles with mental health issues. I also have expertise working with individuals and caretakers who are managing medical issues. As a former medical oncology social worker, I understand the impact a new diagnosis (from cancer to dementia) can have on someone’s mental health and that of their loved ones. I also have experience working with end of life and grief.

Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma ("big T or little t"), and difficult relationships, can be both wearing and demoralizing. I try to help people understand at an emotional level, not just an intellectual one. I have been called compassionate, warm and down-to-earth. I use mind-body, psychodynamic, somatic, cognitive, and coaching approaches, and sometimes just plain common sense. I try to help a person grasp an issue or resolution in a way that resonates with them. It needs to make sense in both their head and gut, so they can start putting that understanding into real-life, practical solutions to their problems.

My ideal client is prepared to initiate changes in their life to promote wellness. They are prepared to process internal and external contributors to their mood, discuss options for improvement, and practice healthier skills that will assist in achieving their personal goals. My ideal client is internally motivated and desires emotional balance from concerns such as anxiety, depression, impaired self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. They arrive to treatment with goals in mind, and will actively work to experience relief of distressing symptoms.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with emphasis on the psychodynamic perspective, Courtney is invested in fostering and empowering the utmost potential of an individual by means of unearthing deep-seated impressions, that inadvertently unravel into outward expression. Everyday circumstances challenge our established foundations on both a personal and universal level, where safety and comfort are sought in a world encompassed in judgement, repercussion, misinterpretation, burden, shame, or guilt. Courtney recognizes that there is no sole route toward exploring one’s own truth and cultivation of healing.

Moving through pain and suffering is not easy. Many of us feel scared, alone, and confused. Healing is a process of bringing the mind, body and spirit into harmony with one's purpose in the world. Working together in a safe nonjudgmental environment can create a sense of balance and inner peace.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, yet a common thread unites this motivation: the desire to understand one's experience. Sometimes life can be a struggle: identity, relationships, environments and situations can stress our resources and lead us to lean on familiar ways of being, even when those ways do not feel useful or helpful anymore. Therapy presents an opportunity to be curious, to foster new depths of understanding, and to develop a greater sense of meaning. It also provides a space to explore ways of relating to yourself, others in your life, and the world.

Telehealth for foreseeable future. Whether you are thinking about or going through a divorce, or wishing to save your marriage, I can help you understand emotions, explore options, clarify your children's experience and facilitate your thinking and decision-making. I facilitate the creation of effective parental partnerships in or out of marriages. Do arguments over recurring topics disrupt your family life? Is your toddler having inexplicable emotional outbursts? Is it difficult to communicate with your pre-teenager? Is your blended family having unforeseen problems? If so, I can help you understand and effectively re-engage.

It takes courage to make changes. I enjoy working with adult and adolescent individuals with varying mental health symptoms, and I specialize in treatment of anxiety. Together we can explore how your past experiences can influence current beliefs and behaviors, build your toolbox of strategies to cope with distress, and process your life experiences in a safe space. Exploring and learning about yourself can be an emotional experience, and it can also be empowering as well. I appreciate you letting me into your life to help with this process. I look forward to hearing your story and working together towards your treatment goals.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working in Behavioral Health. I know the decision to start therapy is not necessarily an easy one. I will do my best to help you feel comfortable as we discuss your concerns in a confidential and supportive environment. Together we can identify and work collaboratively to accomplish your goals toward the change you would like in your life. I have appointments available both in person and via tele health.

My ideal client would be a middle-aged person who is looking to change and willing to step outside the box. Their goals would be independence and small achievable ones. I enjoy working with anxiety and am open to "between sessions" work/activities.

My ideal client suffers from anxiety and depression. These struggles create the inability to function as expected daily. This client needs mood stabilization and the ability to function easier by completing daily routines and tasks with fewer challenges. The client also wants mood stabilization to avoid suicidal ideation, plan, or intent. As we work together on improving mental health, the client's mood will stabilize with less interactive anxiety and depressive feelings of suicidal ideation within the next three months.

Hello and welcome. As a spiritual counselor, I will guide and support you in cultivating your strengths and wisdom, and a clear sense of Self. We will explore the patterns and beliefs you have developed throughout your lifetime that keep you from feeling peaceful, authentic, and at ease with yourself. Having studied trans-personal, or soul-based, psychology for many years, I believe that life offers us opportunities to learn and grow, and that by developing compassion for, and acceptance of ourselves, we can uncover meaning and purpose, even in our pain, and ultimately find freedom and joy in our lives.

As your therapist I will work with you to create a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages exploration and reflection upon your particular situation and needs.
