Bisexual Therapists in Morristown, NJ

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.

Transitions. Grief. Loss. Fear. Change. Whether it is from the death of a loved one, divorce or marital discord, the coming out process, being diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness, or adjusting to significant life changes: support can be a critical component of healing. I believe you already have everything you need within you to move through this. My focus is to collaborate with you in the exploration of feelings, cultivating your strengths, and creating/defining new coping skills to navigate this challenging time.

I offer telehealth therapy services for clients looking for a therapist who is relationally focused. I want to work with you to build a therapeutic relationship conducive to your healing. I utilize trauma-informed modalities in order to come alongside you wherever you are as you seek the answers for yourself. I believe there can be great benefit to working online together, as you are in the comfort of your own home as you dive deep into all of the facets of yourself.

It is my passion to help my clients create the life they desire. I believe we are often our harshest critics and learning to be kinder to ourselves can have an immense impact on our lives. Counseling can help heal emotional wounds through processing, self-compassion and goal setting.

Taking the first step in finding a new therapist can be daunting, but I'm glad you made it here. I believe that a safe and supportive environment for therapy is key to successful change, and I emphasize authenticity, empathy and a positive therapeutic style in my practices. I have experience working with clients dealing with depression and anxiety disorders, trauma and post-traumatic-stress disorder, grief and loss, relational issues, chronic illness, intimacy/sexual issues, and substance abuse, as well as supporting couples and families where there is a presence or history of addiction.

If you feel lonely and overwhelmed and are not sure what to do next, you are not alone. I know it seems tough right now, but there is hope and you can find happiness again. I truly believe that you are the expert on you. By being your support system and aiding in the self-discovery process, you can learn to be yourself again. Let’s work together to help you be heard in order to erase self-doubt.

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor who works at Therapy Resources of Morris County. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have experience working with Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Transitional Issues, Self Esteem Issues, along with other mental health illnesses/ life challenges.

If you would like to resolve longstanding feelings of depression and anxiety, feelings of loss, the symptoms of trauma, or a tendency to repeat the same problems in relationships, you may have found that time-limited, symptom-focused therapy hasn't relieved your suffering. Perhaps it has even discouraged you from thinking you can find a lasting solution to your problems. You may feel hopeless about being able to stop what seems like a repeating series of crises, feeling resigned to suffer or cope with difficulty.

It is a privilege and honor to work in the field of mental health and wellness. I have the utmost respect for the individuals and families with whom I work. Making the choice to come to therapy is a difficult-even intimidating-decision. But it can also be empowering and rewarding. I provide a safe, supportive, and accepting environment. I have experience in Family Systems, Narrative, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. I have worked with a diversity of challenges such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, school problems, divorce, relational problems, and adjustment to life transitions

**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.

Do you need help coping with life's challenges? I provide a warm, safe and caring environment to help you define your personal goals and develop skills to manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, alcohol or drug use concerns.

Our complicated, pressured lives often bring challenges. Perhaps it is a challenge in relationships, family, or work. Or perhaps it is an emotional challenge such as depression or anxiety. Perhaps a life change has occured, creating ripple effects in all areas of one's life. I believe that even in our hardest times, within each person is a sense of their own unique approach to their troubles and toward healing.
