Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Lawrenceville, NJ

I believe in meeting clients where they are at! Every person is resilient. I intend our collaboration to remind you of your strengths, provide you tools to weather the storms of life, and a safe space to gain insight into your truest self. I come to social work from a social justice background and recognize that trauma and oppression are often intertwined. Acknowledging systemic issues is a vital part of my practice, particularly for youth and families directly impacted by it. Teaching you to advocate successfully on your own behalf, whether it be in your relationships or larger systems, is also essential.

Life presents us with challenges at every phase, and sometimes collaboration with a trained professional helps to weather the storms of life and promote growth and happiness. In my work with children, teens, and adults, I strive to create a safe accepting environment, so my clients can openly express their throughts and feelings and explore their concerns. My treatment is comprehensive in nature and carefully designed to promote self-awareness and address the unique needs of each individual.

*******NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS********My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns in their lives and interpersonal relationships. I incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches and determine which style of therapy will be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with clients to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

Worried moms & frazzled dads, look no further! Maybe your child/teen is anxious, sad, angry, or acting out. You've tried empathy, rewards, punishments, extra attention, special privileges. You've read books, consulted parenting blogs, & asked other parents for advice. Whatever you try, it may even work for a few days but then all the old problems come right back. Maybe your boy wants to dress like a girl and it's freaking you out. Maybe your teen declares "I'm queer"--what does that even mean? Let's add the stress of the global pandemic, and you're exhausted, frustrated, and worried about your child's future.

Life is filled with many opportunities as well as challenges. My goal is to help children and adolescents recognize and seize those opportunities and overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in their way. By helping them create a positive mindset, build effective coping strategies, and expand their repertoire of problem-solving skills, they can live a healthy, satisfying, and successful social and academic life. The earlier these skills are cultivated within the child or adolescent, the greater the opportunities to practice and utilize them to their benefit. Please visit my website: www.childresilience.com

You long for peace and clarity in your life but when navigating a major life transition those goals can appear out of reach. Divorce, illness, family and career changes can leave any one of us reeling, feeling beaten down, overwhelmed, confused and alone. A therapist can provide that safe non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be preventing you from moving forward. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet my client's needs always honoring the fact that this work is collaborative and each client is unique.

We have all been broken by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and sometimes we feel so broken that we are unable to pick up the pieces alone, but, fear not! Mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational, and social wellness is a process and not a state of mind. It is a level of perfection we ought to continually strive for, because those fragmented pieces of our lives CAN be put back together. Relationships CAN be mended, and CHANGE IS POSSIBLE, but it doesn't just happen; we have to be intentional. "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." -MLK

I see life as a journey and counseling as an opportunity for an individual or couple to reach a greater level of health and joy. It is my hope to share in that journey. The focus in my practice is to provide quality, professional care for adolescents, adults, and couples through confidential counseling and consultation. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience.

Intergenerational family dysfunction is not inevitable. I work with adults and children to untangle relational and behavioral patterns that are often foundational to the presenting problem. I take an integrative, strength-based approach and help the client identify perceptions and attributions that may be interfering with optimal self development and fulfilling relationships. For adults and children, this therapeutic approach is helpful in changing dysfunctional relational dynamics to those that promote growth and well-being.

Do you feel misunderstood? Do you have trouble communicating? As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I help couples turn their relationship around by helping them improve their communication and resolve conflicts with videos, personality tests, role plays and other tools to bring about rapid change. Do you need to talk to someone? I work with clients on relationship issues, career choices, and other issues. What sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to keep clients on a systematic approach to change with a focused, short term program to help them achieve their goals quickly. I am working with clients only virtually.
