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.

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.

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
