Therapists in Moorestown, NJ

I have always been amazed by the resilience of the human spirit and I earnestly believe people try to make the best choice based on the options available to them. In my personal and professional life I have to make choices all the time. Some of them are difficult, but all choices bring a learning curve. Each choice we make presents an opportunity to grow. Some times I have needed someone to listen, validate and help me assess with making the decision to take leap, grow and move forward. My life journey is what has inspired me to be a clinical social worker/therapist.

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to begin therapy and recognize that help is needed. My goal is to help clients learn how to deconstruct their own worthiness and to increase self-compassion by having the bravery to be more vulnerable in their lives. A main focus in my approach is leading individuals toward establishing the most authentic version of themselves while working towards living a well-balanced life. This helps clients build resiliency to find the internal strength to recover after personal setbacks.

I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and young adults who have experienced trauma or are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and low self-esteem. I like clients who are creative or will allow for me to help them heal through creativity. I like to work with families to best support their children and teenagers with their struggles.

...Currently Not Accepting New Clients... Poet Mary Oliver said "Are you breathing just a little & calling it a life?" I understand pursuing wellness can be tough, but discovering that [living everyday life] doesn't have to be a experienced as [survival] - can also offer hope. Before establishing my own private practice, I worked as an independent contractor within a Christian practice. I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital setting for 10 yrs during my pre & post graduate yrs. I also taught as a psychology adjunct professor at Cairn University, finding significant value in the integration of both clinical & academic work.

As an Ordained Minister, Licensed Pastoral Counselor and Spiritual Coach my style is one filled with compassion, warmth and authenticity. I believe in giving people a safe place to let their guard down and be vulnerable, while being heard and understood. I love helping others grow into a deeper relationship with God. I desire to walk along side of marriages & offer them tools to work through seasons of hardship. I long to bring hope to those wrestling with codependency, rejection, loneliness, depression, anxiety, and self-worth. I'm passionate about seeing those in addiction set free and those affected by the addiction healed.

Depression causes hopelessness. Anxiety affects work, family, relationships, enjoyment of life's simple pleasures. Exposure to trauma can cause a multitude of symptoms. If you are facing any of these stressors, if you are a survivor of/or witness to trauma, treatment can help. Through cognitive therapy, my clients have learned to overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD. I also treat individuals court mandated for treatment through Children and Youth Services, probation and parole, etc. Additionally I work with adolescents dealing with behavior concerns, referred by schools/families. Family/couples counseling is also available, as well as treatment for psychosis.

I am most effective with clients who are looking to change patterns of relationship or behavior that have become problematic in their lives. Whether you are struggling with an eating disorder, coping with traumatic experience, or an unhappy relationship, I will seek to work creatively with you to understand yourself with compassion and move toward the changes in your life that you are seeking. Often this process involves exploring how past experiences influence your current life, combined with developing practical ways to shift patterns in the present.

I help people with hard problems- anxiety, depression, relationships, drug/alcohol problems, Adult Child of Alcoholic (ACOA) issues. I provide therapy that is about growth, self-understanding, and becoming the person that you really are. Many of my patients come to see me at times of change or transition in their lives. Some come for help that is focused, specific, and relatively short-term. For example, many anxiety problems and life transition issues are suited to short-term work.

A positive therapeutic experience begins with a strong, empathic relationship. Whether I am working with adults or children, I emphasize helping my clients feel welcome and connected within the therapy experience. People come to therapy for many different reasons.

I am a commissioned minister of pastoral care and a certified temperament counselor working towards my Masters degree in clinical Christian counseling. I felt the Lord calling me into this field when I was 17 years old and strugglings with my own emotions. I didn't always feel heard by those around me which caused me to bottle up my emotions. My passion today is making children and teens feel heard and understood. My goal is to draw struggling teens and children closer to God while helping them discover who God created them to be.
