Therapists in Middlesex, NJ

Are you or someone you love experiencing social or emotional difficulties preventing you from accomplishing your goals and responsibilities? Are you ready to talk about your needs and take control of your life? Self-understanding and self-reflection are key elements to emotional well-being and healthy relationships. Most human being have an innate need to feel connected and validated in their experiences and emotions. In my professional practice with teens, families, and couples, I offer a therapeutic relationship which my clients can use for their own personal growth and development.

Many of my clients come in to address anxiety, depression and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping women in different phases of their lives (adolescence, womanhood, motherhood, menopause). I also have experience in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression and Adjustment Disorders. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness. I use the therapeutic relationship to look at how patterns of interaction have developed and can be used to strengthen connections outside of our sessions.

Are you constantly worrying? Do you wish you had more confidence? Does anxiety keep you from enjoying life? I have over 20 years experience working in the behavioral/mental health field. I have extensive training in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Anxiety can rob us of the ability to enjoy life, by avoiding situations where a panic attack may occur. Learn to better understand your thoughts, feelings and relationships. Anxiety is extremely unpleasant. Therapy can help.

"Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional." (R. Crawford) All too often we find ourselves in a space where it seems as though we've hit a wall. A wall of mounting emotions, and feelings we try desperately to avoid. The only way to get through it is to face it. Decide today that you are worth your time, your attention, and your money because you are! The first step towards taking control of the sadness, fear, or chaos can be as simple as a phone call. Make the call and take control today!

Welcome to my practice! As a therapist I believe in creating a warm, welcoming, and empathetic environment for my clients to feel safe in. I know therapy can be an effective tool for healing and growth. I strive to provide a space where clients can process their thoughts and emotions in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I employ Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic techniques in my work. I believe in incorporating clients' culture and values to better address and understand the unique experiences and perspectives of each client.

Play Therapist for kids with anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism). There are days that you want to get away from your child and it kills you to feel this way. You sometimes think of the life you had prior to having kids. You were less exhausted then. You didn’t think parenting would be this hard. Your child is having constant meltdowns and becomes upset over the littlest things. This happens almost daily. You’ve tried everything and they never seem to be happy no matter what you do. You feel like you have failed as a parent. You’re worried that this is your life now and nothing is going to change. You feel helpless.

Therapy looks and feels different for everyone, therefore I offer an integrated approach to best fit your needs. You are not alone in your feelings or experiences. I see us as a team and work to create a safe place to make therapy your own. I use an empathetic approach to closely listen and understand what you are going through, and provide reflections and insights to assist you in reaching your therapeutic goals. Whether this is your first time in therapy, or jumping back into it, I’m here to meet you where you are.
