I am experienced in working with
adults
who are experiencing unhappiness, frustration, anxiety, and difficulty managing relationships.
We are simply living in uncertain times where our lives are being forced into a new way of being. At times, it seems we have few choices and possibilities which can lead to feelings of doubt, worry, intense sadness, restlessness, self-blame, frustration and/or a sense of not being fully alive. Simply said, feeling unhappy. Therapy/counseling offers an avenue to understand what is happening to us emotionally and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. It is a choice to find a way to come out of this period of time as a better version of our selves than we started.

I provide counseling services to
adults
in many area topics including but not limited to depression, anxiety, addiction, anger management, social skills development and stress management.
The potential for self-improvement and positive growth starts with our willingness to open ourselves to new possibilities. Certain life events sometimes lead us to seek professional help and finding the right therapist you can establish a positive rapport can be challenging. One of the unique attributes that clients say about me is the warmth, gentleness and genuineness of our therapeutic process coupled with an inviting approach to wellness. I believe a significant core element of counseling is the relationship that you and I build as we navigate and explore the challenges that limit or prevent you from meeting your personal objectives.

Tell me more about you, and how I can help. My clients like that I listen and am interested in their lives. I am highly professional and work hard to meet my clients needs. My clients appreciate my honesty and genuine attitude. Before anything else, I believe we are all "simply human" with all that entails. Talking to a therapist offers an avenue to understand what is happening to you and your relationships (ie. with loved ones, friends, family, and of course yourself). It is an experience that can help you feel listened to, understood, and help you find solutions to improve how you feel and live.

I have over a decade of experience working with
adults
, couples, and children.
I understand that powerful life events and subtle life experiences shape the direction of life. Therapy offers an avenue to understand what is happening and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. Especially, when we are left with feelings of frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness. In other words, we become “unhappy.”

Are you overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Are you feeling anxious, exhausted, or “not enough” as a parent, partner, or person? Are you not being seen or heard by others?

Using evidence-based approaches, I provide wraparound support for children, adolescents,

, and families who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, developmental disorders, parenting issues, and relationship challenges.

My focus as a therapist is to help young
adults
aged 21 to 35 who are experiencing unhappiness, frustration, anxiety, and difficulty managing relationships.
There are days when everything can feel like an uphill battle. You seem to be stuck in a loop of personal conflict, constantly wishing for relief. At the end of the day, we all just want to feel confident, happy, and balanced. While life can be challenging, it can also be an opportunity for growth and hope. By talking to a therapist, you can gain a deeper understanding of your relationship with yourself as well as with others. It is a process that promotes lifelong wellness and gives you a sense of self-control. During sessions, I aim to provide you with the empathy and acknowledgment that you deserve.

What type of Jersey City mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Jersey City?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
