Therapists in Morristown, NJ

I am a licensed therapist & clinical supervisor with 14 + years of experience in working with those struggling with eating disorders & co occurring mental health struggles. Now more than ever, it is easy to feel stressed, alone and misunderstood. I work with my clients to address feelings of anxiety, depression, low self esteem, & most recently difficulties with the pandemic and feelings of isolation. You have the power to help yourself and my goal is to help you get there. My work involves identifying the areas in your life that may require change or improvement, and guiding you there with encouragement & accountability.

My practice provides clients with a safe and supportive environment in which they can find solutions to the problems that hold them back from reaching their potential. I have over 28 years experience working with a wide variety of clients. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults and their families. I am an interactive therapist who offers suggestions and reaches for realistic and attainable goals. In addition to dealing with the present, I strive to assist my clients in resolving past hurts that cloud their ability to see the future.

My therapeutic focus is to help people live well and move beyond suffering. Therapy is an opportunity that allows for you to have a deeper connection with yourself, helping you to show up differently and more authentically in your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and as a therapist I act as a mirror to help clients self-examine, reflect, and practice new skills. I start by building a safe and supportive therapeutic environment which fosters the use of interpersonal effectiveness skills, mindfulness practices, and coping skills. These techniques and practices can help each individual feel confident to handle the mental and emotional challenges that occur on a daily basis.

Are you pregnant, ready to enjoy the 'pregnancy glow,' or a new mom, hoping to 'enjoy this stage while it lasts?' Yet inside, you feel alone, in need of support. You are not sure if you ate lunch today, cannot recall the last time you had a decent night's sleep, and are in constant worry. Perhaps you are concerned about your baby's health, have undesirable thoughts popping up, or feel detached and alone. You have a strong desire to speak to someone and find support, but the idea of finding someone who you are comfortable with appears daunting and far too exhausting.

Available IN-PERSON & virtual! My passion/specialty is in helping you navigate eating disorder recovery, distorted body image, and ending the dysfunctional diet/food-behavior spiral. Maybe you're new to recovery, or finding your way back. Our therapeutic relationship gives you a soft place to land and a firm place to launch from. Where you see constant anxiety, relational stress, perfectionism, chronic dysregulation, and shame, I see opportunity for growth. No matter why you're here, if you want to understand yourself, balance taking control and relinquishing it, and build a life worth living, I'm here to support you through it.

If you're ready to end the cycle of unhealthy behaviors, unhealthy relationships, and unhealthy thoughts, we can help you make that change while creating new patterns of healthy behaviors.

I intimately understand the intricacies of these obstacles and can successfully lead my clients through the complicated physical & emotional discomfort.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN-PERSON** "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."-Lao Tzu. The first step can often be the hardest. Choosing to ask for help can be the first step on your journey to achieving your goals. I want to make that step as comfortable as possible by offering an empathetic, non-judgmental, supportive environment. I know how hard it is to find someone you connect with. Together we can build healthy coping skills and discover the strengths that you already have.

Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, you still aren't able to make concrete change in your life? Do you struggle to heal from the past, or a current crisis you need support with? Here are things clients said about working with me: "The number one quality you bring to your practice is kindness...your respect for me has allowed me the space to find respect for myself." "I have gained some real understanding of myself, my own struggles and patterns...this has helped me to let go of behaviors and thoughts that don't work..."
