Therapists in Mercer County, NJ

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, or relationship challenges. Although it takes time, I encourage my clients to take a deeper look into their thoughts and feelings so that they can understand how to work towards their goals.

Our weight-centric culture chastises and shames you for your body with a mix of pity and disgust, as though your size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor health. Over time, you started internalizing this stigma, and often treat yourself with the same level of contempt. You’re treated like a pariah when seeking medical care, enduring weight stigma far more harmful than any presumed adverse effect of your weight itself. You forgot how to nourish yourself – sometimes forbidding yourself food, sometimes isolating in shame for a binge, sometimes "paying" via purge. You are meant to bloom - not shrink.

I am a licensed clinical social worker treating individuals, couples, families and groups. My experience as a psychotherapist has affirmed my belief that each of us has a great capacity to change and grow. Therapy offers no magical solutions. Rather, it provides an opportunity for exploration. It is a chance for the client, with the therapist by her/his side, first to imagine and then to create the best path to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Feeling sad, overwhelmed and anxious? Stressed in your relationships? Struggling with children or adolescents, perhaps taking care of elder adults or someone with special needs? Life can be challenging. There may be days when you're able to solve one problem only to have three more appear. Families are constantly shifting with the culture. Although change can be a good thing, it may feel too fast, creating fear and anxiety. When life becomes too difficult to manage and when there are regular and unresolved conflicts among family members it may be time to seek help and gain perspective.

In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I am one of only two Certified Bioenergetic Therapists in NJ. This cutting-edge form of body-centered psychotherapy involves tapping into the body’s own wisdom through techniques such as breathing, grounding, and centering. Research shows that traumatic stress has little to do with cognition—it emanates from the emotional part of the brain, which is accessed through the body. I have spent more than ten years studying and applying this specialized form of psychotherapy and find deep satisfaction in helping others receive its benefits.

We all struggle in different ways and having a listening ear that is non-judgmental and willing to help us work through our journey can be crucial in our development as individuals.

I do not believe in the idea of an "ideal client". I believe that every client is unique in their own way. They come to session with their own issues, needs, and goals. As a counselor, I feel that it is my job to make sure that their concerns are adequately addressed and that their needs and goals are met.

How you feel is valid, your story matters, and you deserve to be heard. It can be hard to listen to that healthy voice inside of you that desires guidance and support. I want to take a moment to acknowledge your bravery for taking the first step in your journey. Together we will explore areas of your life where you may feel challenged, anxious and/or stuck. We will identify old patterns of beliefs and behaviors that may have been limiting you and begin to move forward in your life by creating new understanding that leads to curiosity, self-awareness, and self-compassion.
