I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Fear stops us from dealing with the pain. I believe in a safe environment of trust and care you or your family member can begin to examine these issues. If you need to learn how our trauma response activates or need to learn coping mechanisms to deal with some of the after-effects of trauma, I invite you to begin the process gently and at your own pace.

I believe that every person has the potential to create positive change in their life. Often many things get in way to achieve those goals, such trauma, depression, anxiety and fear. Far too often we struggle internally and not knowing where to turn. When life gets hard it is always wonderful to have someone there to help walk alongside with you through the hardships in life. My goal is to make this therapeutic experience as pleasing and positive for you. I am here to guide you through those hard patches along the way based on your needs.

“Every little thing is going to be alright”-Bob Marley. I believe that people have the ability to create positive and lasting change in their own lives. Sometimes we just need someone to take that walk with us. Overthinking, nervousness, sadness, uncertainty, poor self esteem, it is all connected. Anxiety and depression changes our personalities, it inhibits growth, it steals our happiness. Through therapy, our responses to anxiety and depression can be refined. We can change our relationship with anxiety and it would be an honor to join you in making those changes. Threelittlebirdsnj.com

Do you ever feel stuck, as if despite your efforts you feel as though you can't move forward in your life? Many things get in the way of our ability to achieve our goals. Struggles with depression, anxiety, self judgement, fear, trauma, and addiction all have a tendency to paralyze us. We often are left feeling hopeless and emotionally drained. Through therapy we allow ourselves to find solutions in areas that feel like a dead end. By exploring the barriers that stand in our way, we can build self awareness, skills and confidence to overcome any obstacle.
