As John Lennon wrote "Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans". Our lives have been changed significantly since March 2020. We may be still social distancing and feeling somewhat disconnected from family and friends. Many people continue to experience anxiety, depression and relationship issues as a result. Most of my clients had initial reservations about trying telehealth but, much like everything else lately, we’re resilient and go with the flow. The benefits of telehealth are that you don’t have to travel, scheduling is much easier and you can be seen wherever you have internet (must be in NJ during session).

The truth is, my ideal client cannot be defined by a particular diagnosis, gender, or concern; if you're ready to grow, then let's get started! I help my clients recognize where they are, including their strengths, areas in need of improvement, and where they would like to go; and I work with them to get there! I prioritize setting attainable short and long term goals that we can measure and work on achieving. While I specialize in working with young adults with anxiety or depression, life transition issues, and/or LGBTQIA-related struggles, I have experience and work with individuals of all ages and mental health concerns.

A personal therapy experience is about creating a practice of getting connected to ourselves by increasing self-awareness of our mind, body and brain, and learning healthy, adaptive skills to experience a fulfilling life. As a child we develop adaptive methods to navigate life that in adult life become maladaptive and cause suffering. My current focus is working with adults assisting them in experiencing relief related to past traumas and current life events. Through the use of various therapies and exploration of the mind, brain and body's response to triggers, we collaboratively work to facilitate relief.

Co-founder and partner of Comprehensive Counseling Center, Howell NJ. I've been in practice for 25+ years. My primary focus is couples, marital and adult individual counseling. My role, when a couple or individual seeks out counseling, is to both be able to listen, in a caring non-judgemental way, and be direct when necessary. I work with the client to tailor the treatment to their unique needs; to help with guidance, support and information, so that things can move forward and their goals can be reached. It's a process that works best when we work together, and is done in an atmosphere of respect, confidentiality and safety.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes it does not go the way we plan it, and other times changes occur leaving us to feel helpless, hopeless and disempowered. However, seeking help is empowering. Whether you are experiencing depressive symptoms, substance use, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, ADD, or you are just feeling stuck; you have made the right decision to end the cycle. By ending the cycle, you will find you, your identity and your purpose.

Parents and children often perceive the world in different ways. Children often seek instant gratification, are impulsive, and struggle with anxiety and/or depression. In these complex times, children and adolescents are talking openly about sexuality and gender. Parents often don’t understand the way their children think, which then causes conflict. Some children have experienced trauma, which adds another layer of misbehavior and/or difficulties with emotion-regulation.

Starting therapy can be an overwhelming task, but I hope I can help make this step seem a little more manageable. I work with adolescents and adults ages 13+. I specialize in anxiety, depression, perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma, and addictions. I don't believe therapy is "one size fits all", and I strive to work with the client to find the best interventions to help meet their goals. I utilize a strengths-based approach along with cognitive behavioral interventions and motivational strategies.

When you have experienced a trauma, developed uncontrollable anxiety, have a child who is overwhelmingly oppositional, or anything in between, it can feel extremely isolating. That is why we are here at Sullivan Counseling Services. No one should ever feel alone when they are going through a difficult time and may need an outside source to help guide them in the right direction. Our goal is to help each person who comes to therapy gain motivation and move in a positive direction to better their current situation.

Are you thinking about starting therapy for the first time? Let me tell you what my experience has been providing teletherapy since the start of the pandemic. While I miss the face to face visits with my clients, we have adjusted, and even recognized the benefits. Some say scheduling a teletherapy appointment is less intimidating, no concerns about finding the office or running into a neighbor. We can meet during a lunch break, after the kids go to sleep, or while the baby naps. These are tough times, therapy can help. With over 25 years of practice, I bring professional and life experience to help you reach your goals.

I believe a good fit with a therapist is crucial to successful treatment. The right relationship can facilitate healing right from the start. I work best with those who know why they are seeking counseling and have a desire to feel better and improve their lives. While striving to create a casual and welcoming environment, I tailor the treatment to suit the individual's needs and goals, first and foremost.

Do you have a trauma history and struggle with a negative, reoccurring pattern in your life? Sometimes this negative pattern is a repeating argument with a partner, chronic worrying, or noticing the same low mood from week to week. The ebbs and flows of daily life are expected, but sometimes these patterns leave you feeling “stuck.” I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience helping people move past feeling “stuck” and onto more conscious, purposeful decisions with how they want to live their life. Healing from trauma and reclaiming control of your life is within your reach.

I believe everyone has the power to change and make new possibilities out of our life experiences! Sometimes we reach a point where we are not sure how to handle something or make things better for ourselves and those around us. Having someone help you work with each area to learn about your own thoughts, feelings and emotions and how you react or respond to situations can take some of the weight and pressure off your shoulders. Seeing a therapist is about building a stronger YOU so that life's twists and turns can be managed effectively. Take your first strong step in seeking assistance!

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
