Therapists in Howell, NJ

I've been in practice for 25+ years. My primary focus is on 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. **Co-founder of Comprehensive Counseling Center, Howell NJ

I believe the most positive change takes place when a client is motivated as well as has trust, comfortability, and openness with their therapist.

The relationship between therapist and client is the most important aspect of the therapeutic environment. My aim as a therapist is to help you feel valued, understood, and respected. Throughout our work together, I will provide you with a space of compassion, patience, and safety. Together we can explore your goals and emotional difficulties which are associated with stress.

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.

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!

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques that fit your needs, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
