Marital problems? Sibling conflict? Anxiety? Unhappy? For over 30 years I have been helping people live happier and more peaceful lives. I specialize in couples conflict, marital disruption, family conflict, sibling relationships, anxiety, and loss. In my years of practice, I have found that most troubled marriages can be saved, anxiety can be greatly reduced, and lives made happier. Learn to take charge of your situation rather than it controlling you. I approach therapy as a pragmatic and positive process, focusing on quick change and meeting goals in a supportive environment of gentle confrontation, empathy and humor.

It is my belief that all people can benefit from the counseling experience as they navigate through the often difficult obstacles in life. Counseling offers the opportunity to receive unbiased feedback, positive support, new coping skills and life skills to help overcome and manage the difficulties we face in life. Some of the many areas of personal growth counseling can help to improve include self-esteem, self-love, confidence, assertiveness, and communication. In hopes of assisting you to narrow your search in finding the right counselor, allow me to tell you about myself.

My goal is to create a calm, open, and non-judgemental space where individuals can grow and share. My techniques and approaches in therapy consider the individual needs of each client. I find it important for my clients to recognize and build upon their own strengths in order to heal and meet their goals.

As a therapist, my objective is to create an empathetic and safe space where you feel genuinely seen and nurtured. Whatever the reasons or life events that have led you here, I am committed to helping you explore opportunities for growth, reach your goals, and experience healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgian Court University and a Master’s Degree in Holistic Health. My postgraduate work at Georgian Court University started a journey in expanding my clinical skills in unison with evidence based holistic interventions that promote emotional wellness and self awareness. I am committed to providing healing in treatment for those struggling with, trauma, anxiety, post traumatic distress, mood disorders, personality disorders, grief/loss, life transitions/adjustment, substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.

Maintaining our mental wellness is just as important as maintaining our physical wellness. Perhaps you are facing a major loss or are having trouble finding motivation to carry out daily tasks of life. For some, there has been a major life event which has left you feeling helpless or without direction. For any person coming into my office, my goal is to create a space which is calming, open, and safe. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing grief and loss, low motivation, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

Lets work together in a safe, warm and nonjudgemental setting that allows you or your child to meet their fullest potential. I will help you identify goals that are meaningful to you and together we will work towards meeting these goals. Therapy is a partnership and we will embark on the journey and navigate the roadblocks that can make life difficult. I use a client-centered approach along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and play therapy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in group and individual settings. Many youth are feeling the impact of the political atmosphere, and extreme transitions of their social and personal identities. Our environments are constantly changing, relationships shifting, and therapy can be a place for you to process your feelings and experiences.

As a therapist, I am focused on providing a safe and comfortable environment for you in an effective way that helps to facilitate change and healing. It is my belief that the combination of a trusting relationship paired with an empathetic and interactive approach can create a platform for personal growth that can allow you to reach your individualized goals. My role in this therapeutic process is to take a non-judgmental stance to motivate change through helping you identify, navigate, and cope effectively with unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

Does stress and uncertainty in your life have you feeling stuck? Have you found yourself second guessing decisions or held back by that annoying voice in your head of self-doubt? Taking back control of your life isn’t a solo mission. Sometimes we need a listening ear, a sounding board, a space to understand ourselves better, and a nudge in the right direction. With a compassionate, honest, and curious approach I can help you to feel confident and ready to tackle life’s challenges.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to grow towards the changes they want to see in their life. I believe in approaching each situation from the client's perspective and working hand in hand to develop a path forward.

Mental health is an important part of our daily lives. As a therapist, I have experience working with children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, challenges with self-esteem, and peer issues as well as young adults navigating life transitions. My goal is to empower and provide support through an individualized, trusting therapeutic relationship.
