Anxiety Therapists in Chatham, NJ

It is my goal to provide a safe, comfortable, therapeutic environment for all of my clients. As a psychotherapist, I believe the most influential vehicle in supporting and helping my clients exists within my clients and is accessed through our therapeutic relationship. I hold all clients in a positive regard and aim to help clients identify and use their own strengths to solve their personal struggles. Let's face it, we all go through periods of self-doubt and high stress. To struggle is human.

We seek counseling at some of the most difficult times in our lives. Traumatic life experiences can cause us to feel stuck and unsure how to live the life we long for. I consider it a privilege to be a counselor and walk through those times with you. I consider the client/counselor relationship to be incredibly important, but I also want to support the important relationships in your life. I look forward to meeting you.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be facing important life changes or sustained a significant loss; you may wish to improve a relationship or resolve a specific issue; you may yearn to lead a happier, more fulfilling life or perhaps all of the above. Personal problems can be difficult to handle alone, and talking with a therapist may help. This is a first courageous step on the journey to improve your life and take better care of yourself.

As a wife and mother, I bring my life experiences into my counseling in the form of empathy and understanding. My work with clients includes identifying stressors that are interfering with their ability to thrive in their unique environments. I also help my clients uncover strengths that can be used to cultivate coping skills and new perspectives. Sometimes that means exploring relationships, honing communication skills, or processing grief to make meaning after loss. I am committed to meeting my clients where they are when they walk through the door and then working from there.

Are you experiencing feelings of constant worry and fear, can't shake the feeling that you aren't good enough, or like you should be doing more? Are you worried about your career or finances? Disappointed you aren't in the place you thought you would be at this age? Are you tired of comparing yourself to others on social media, using negative self-talk and procrastinating on your goals? Anxiety is your body's natural response to stress. It is a feeling of fear that can manifest differently from person to person. When left untreated, symptoms of anxiety can impair your daily functioning, career and relationships.

Ever think to yourself "...why am I like this?!" and become frustrated that you just can't seem to let go and move on? Pause for a moment, and know that your thoughts, feelings, and very existence are all valid.
