Anxiety Therapists in Morganville, NJ

Therapy is a process in which a client & therapist work together to move toward stated goals & goals that develop throughout the process. We can create the relationships & the life that we want. I work with clients who want to become empowered to take control of things they feel they have lost control over & to push themselves in areas where they wish to achieve better results. My practice partners are accepting new clients. Sessions are telehealth & we have some availability in person... Call our office or visit our "Empowerment Center" website to schedule an appointment with one of us... www.empowermentcenternj.com

My approach to therapy considers that the mind and body are integral parts of a whole being. Achieving balance between these parts is an important component of the healing process and my goal is to help clients achieve this stability. Anxiety and depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; death, divorce and trauma can leave us hopeless and empty. My therapeutic approach strives to help client's emotional wounds heal in order to regain inner peace and improve personal growth.

Support is here; don't delay...I strive to provide an environment that advocates compassion, support, and understanding. My goal is to help resolve conflict by offering strategies and techniques to promote change while helping you feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I utilize various approaches, including solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I offer services to support you with including, but not limited to, stress, sadness, and anxiety . I would enjoy speaking with you further so that I may answer any questions.

I work with clients of all backgrounds and problem types. I especially like working with people who are committed to changing their circumstances and behaviors. I am very experienced in treating anxiety disorders, depression, bi-polar disorder. Couples and marital issues are also very familiar and comfortable for me.

My ideal client is person who has been experiencing some difficulties understanding and or manipulating through their environment. Perhaps this client needs a group to work overcome shyness and learn to speak up for themselves or perhaps this client misreads social situations. My ideal clients range from 3-35. I service struggling parents/families and teens/young adults/adults in areas of depression, anxiety , and self-care. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I will be offering teletherapy sessions as an option to any individuals who are having a difficult time adjusting to this ever evolving health crisis.

I believe in the power & process of therapy, and the importance of creating an atmosphere that allows people to feel safe, comfortable, and heard without judgement. Therapy allows us to learn more about ourselves and rediscover our strengths. Therapy can provide us the tools to quiet our minds, live fully alive, and present focused.

*Currently only seeing clients via telehealth* Beginning therapy, whether you are going for the first time or are restarting, can feel difficult and takes courage.

Everyone deserves to be heard!

**Note: Our office is currently accepting new patients and we look forward to hearing from you** Happiness, peace of mind, and satisfying relationships with others are things that most people strive to have in their life. In order to overcome emotional obstacles, you must first start with a therapist whom you can develop a trusting relationship- someone who creates a safe, comfortable, nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can begin to rejuvenate, reconnect and renew.

When feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious, the process of finding a therapist can seem like a daunting task. Your energy is low, you have little motivation, and you don't feel like talking to anyone. Somehow, despite all of that, you're expected to sort through a list of strangers and choose one that you are going to open up to. It seems counterproductive. It's not. You've taken the first step by deciding that it's time... that enough is enough... and that you need to talk to someone. Hopefully, that someone is us.

All the therapists work hard to build trusting relationships with their clients, so that they can feel safe and empowered. Clients can meet us at one of our 2 Monmouth County locations (Absury Park and Morganville). If they are elderly or disabled we also provide in-homes sessions.

I am a modern and hip child/adolescent and adult psychotherapist looking to remove the stigma of therapy by making it accessible, solution based and engaging to young kids and teens.
