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.

My mission is to provide the highest quality and compassionate behavior health care to our clients, families and people in need through a comprehensive arrangement of services and effective clinical care. If you have found yourself feeling down lately and nothing seems to be going your way, making it difficult to lift your spirits, It might be time to seek help from a licensed professional. My Individual Therapy sessions help clients develop positive attitudes towards life’s most complex and challenging circumstances. All sessions are tailored to client's individual needs.

My ideal client presents depressive symptoms related to trauma & grief. They express that they want to process unresolved childhood issues. They express that the issues have prevented close relationships with their adult children. They want forgiveness and help in creating better ties. The goal may be to explore & resolve issues related to traumatic events and improve overall mood. Interventions may include sharing details of the event and how it has affected their relationships, using positive self-talk, developing positive coping skills, and identifying effective strategies to communicate thoughts and feelings.

Email is the best way to reach me- Hi there! Sorting through therapists can be overwhelming, and the right fit is so important. Trust your instinct on who you're drawn to. If that includes me, let’s chat to see if the connection is there! I approach counseling/psychotherapy as a collaborative journey of discovery, healing, and connection. If we work together, I will support you in accessing and using your inherent strengths and resilience. Moments will be hard, but the overall experience will feel safe and restorative. Together, we will identify and resolve the barriers interfering with your life-satisfaction.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed? Are you in need of help but aren't sure where to begin? Do you want to feel better but don't know how yet or even what your goals are? I love working with people who are finding themselves & working through past traumas. I have worked heavily with anxiety, depression, and OCD. I am also experienced in working with home, school, & life stressors and have a passion for working with women who have experienced domestic violence and abuse and are now looking to work through their experiences.

My ideal client is ready to share, learn, and be curious about their wellness journey. They want to share their hopes and fears as a way to clarify what they want to gain from therapy. I have honed my skills of client connection, combined with clinical expertise, to learn & assess the client's current needs.

Have you ever heard the phrase "we solve our own problems". Or that it is a weakness to express your emotions. Are you from a culture where it is not okay to see a therapist? Are you overwhelmed with thoughts? If you could just talk to someone about it...Well you are in the right place. Here you will find a warm and safe place to express these feelings or emotions, manage stress, reduce anxiety, cope with depression or grief, understand anger, and deal with life's transitions without violating your family or cultural principles.

"Let today be your best day ever” At Holley and Associates Inc., we provide mental health treatment for individuals and families. All treatment is done in the context of family...even a family of one. We will help you be the best YOU you can be. If you want to make a change, we want to help you. Call us"

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice, licensed in the state of Maryland. My goal is to teach and enpower individuals/couples to cope with their feelings by building a safe and collaborative relationship in which they feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and experiences.

In a space of warmth, comfort and acceptance, I offer you an experienced therapist who listens closely, actively, inquisitively- with the goal of helping you to feel heard and understood. I strive to help form the questions that need to be asked, to discern that which is in your control, to divine the source of your pain, and to use humor, laughter, tears and plain talk to make sense of your world; to motivate and help create an authentic healthier you. Over a 30 year career, I've acquired experience that includes: counseling and therapy, program management, training and consultation.

Life has many stressors: relationships, financial strain, and work demands. Achieving balance and satisfaction are challenging. You do not have to do it alone. We are warm, genuine, empathetic, confidential, and knowledgeable! We can help you work through your current situation by merely guiding or facilitating the process of thinking differently, feeling better, and achieving your goals. We encourage personal discovery of the truth and to take personal responsibility in planning a solution to your problem. Are you ready for a change?!

If you struggle with fears of not being able to carryon, have desires and dreams to share and accomplish, would like to collaborate in finding your purpose, or feel a deep separation with your loves ones and would like to restore what was lost or move forward in a new direction, therapy can help empower you to take an active role in your own personalized plan for healing. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space inspired by the Person-centered approach, encouraging clients to express themselves freely.

Whether you're going through a life transition, experiencing something difficult (externally or internally), or want someone you can bounce thoughts, feelings, and ideas off of, I'm here for it. When we take the intentional time to look at how whatever is going on for you is impacting your mental, emotional, physical, and relational health, and how that might be preventing you from reaching your goals, we can not only gain a lot from the therapy process, but also enjoy it. We can work together to talk it through, break down barriers, generate insight, and create positive change in a supportive environment.

Get your life back. Healing & growth are the essential keys in life, especially when we are faced with life obstacles on a daily basis. Remember, you determine your journey and this determination can influence your feelings and actions to unpredictable and unforeseen events/situations. My goal is to assist you in strengthening life challenges such as esteem, sadness, stress, anxiety, academic goals, & personal/social relationships. Sometimes, the challenges that we face can tend to take hold, but with my strategies & your confidence, we can focus on strengthening your challenges & lead you to achieving a positive & holistic life.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Perhaps you are facing problems involving your partner, your family, or your employment, and you are struggling to cope? Or maybe you wish to explore and develop your sense of self and enhance your overall well-being? You are not alone, and I am here to help. My approach to wellness is a holistic one, which includes a compassionate exploration of all facets of life, including relationships, intimacy, spirituality, work, and play. I strive to help my clients find meaning, with a purposeful awareness of the impact of culture and the uniqueness of each individual.

As an empathetic therapist with a burgeoning expertise, I am dedicated to cultivating a salutogenic approach to therapy, which places emphasis on the holistic well-being of each individual. Grounded in mindfulness and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness between mind, body, and emotions, I prioritize fostering emotional regulation as a fundamental aspect of our work together. Through a compassionate lens, I guide clients in exploring their inner landscape, empowering them to harness their innate strengths and resources to navigate life's challenges with resilience and authenticity.
