Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Hamilton Square, NJ

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Coach, I am driven by a deep passion to assist others in enhancing their happiness and achieving success. With over three decades of counseling experience, including 26 years in public school settings, coupled with my background as a football coach, I'm committed to leveraging my expertise and fervor to inspire and support you in realizing the changes you aspire to make. My own experiences in overcoming obstacles and achieving success has profoundly influenced my life, and the goal in my practice is to instill those same beliefs in you as you strive for a successful outcome.

My supportive and thoughtful approach to psychotherapy involves helping clients to take a look at themselves and their choices to determine whether their personal styles are working for them. In this way, clients become more aware of how they relate to others and how to make healthy choices to reduce and better manage stress, improve mood, and enhance relationships. Identifying maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and making changes in those patterns, helps people to live more rewarding and satisfying lives. Therapy is a process in which people learn to live more adaptively and with more personal fulfillment.

Understanding that psychotherapy is such a personal matter, I feel the best approach is one that is very patient centered. That means I tailor therapy to meet the individual needs of each client. I believe in working together collaboratively to set achievable therapy goals toward the desired outcome of therapy, so you can experience greater happiness, stability and a more meaningful life. I have experience in multiple treatment modalities & utilize an integrative approach so that I can apply what will be most effective and best suited to you. Most clients find this approach helpful and sensitive to their needs. I know you will too.

I do not believe in the idea of an "ideal client". I believe that every client is unique in their own way. They come to session with their own issues, needs, and goals. As a counselor, I feel that it is my job to make sure that their concerns are adequately addressed and that their needs and goals are met.

People come to therapy with issues. We believe they also bring the solutions to those issues. Our role is to assist in the process of discovering and implementing those solutions. We have learned by doing our own individual and group work how important it is to "walk the talk". We are prepared to take that walk with you and grow and learn together. You are the expert in your life and our expertise can help you with the next stage of your journey.

Being human is hard. We face unexpected challenges, grapple with confusing thoughts and emotions, and navigate interpersonal conflict. These obstacles are often confounded by a pressure to understand ourselves and make meaningful, "right" choices. Although it can feel exhausting and hopeless to deal with life's trials and tribulations, you do not have to traverse it alone. Through an empathetic, creative, and personalized approach, I offer my clients a pathway to growth and self-compassion in a chaotic world.

Grief is a normal process people experience after a loss. Grief can become messy, complicated, and turn us into a tangled ball of emotions. But experiencing these messy and complicated emotions does not mean we are broken or damaged. We just need someone to understand the intense emotions felt on a daily basis. And realize that some days are harder than others, especially if it's a special occasion. Or when we hear a song or see a place that sparks a particular memory. And more importantly we will never "get over" the loss of our loved one. Missing our loved one becomes a part of who we are.
