Therapists in Mullica Hill, NJ

My approach to therapy reflects my belief that individuals can recover from traumatic and/or stressful life experiences. I am a licensed psychologist with advanced training in neuropsychology. My training and service in the United States Air Force and employment at a Veteran Affairs Medical Center has provided me with extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and trauma-related anxiety disorders.

Feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, stress, or other issues life throws our way can be overwhelming. Being offered support to help guide us through these heavy issues is something that many individuals can benefit from. Over the course of our therapeutic relationship, we will work on fine tuning the skills necessary to face the various issues we encounter. These skills include (but are not limited to) challenging our automatic negative thoughts, exploring exceptions to the issues that we face, examining thought and behavior patterns, and discovering effective mindfulness coping strategies.

Are you facing challenges that leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, defeated, depressed or anxious? Are these challenges blocking you from living a fulfilling life.

As a person-centered/solution-focused counselor, I believe that empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard are key components to building the therapeutic relationship. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques when necessary to help challenge negative thought processes. My previous experience is with the child and adolescent populations as well as adults with diverse backgrounds and experiences, specializing in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life changes, substance abuse, ADHD, gender identity and grief/trauma.

Finding a therapist and taking that initial leap is the hardest part of the process! You’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stagnant, out of control, or like nothing in your life is going the way you imagined. You are not Alone. Living in this time of such unpredictableness in our environment has created an exhausting increase of stress we have become accustomed to living with. It doesn’t take into consideration that we have to keep moving forward with our lives no matter these challenging circumstances. Working with me will allow you to find ways to effectively cope with everything you are struggling with and move forward.

This has exposed me to every aspect of the mental health and substance abuse field. I have treated children through seniors and understand that each client presents differently and should be treated as such. I have learned that the therapeutic alliance is a critical component for a successful therapy experience.

Accepting New Clients Struggling with anxiety, and depression, and trauma can leave us feeling isolated and lost. Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking, especially if you feel misunderstood, or are unsure where to start.

Counseling is not my first career. I served in the Army, attaining the rank of Captain, and I am a Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After the Army, I became a Licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant specializing in sensory integration with children, teens, and adults. I spent over six years working with elementary and secondary school children to help them process and regulate their sensory systems. I have also worked in skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers. It was during this time that I realized I wanted to use sensory integration to help people struggling with their mental health.

I am clinically credentialed in both New Jersey (telehealth only) and South Carolina (telehealth/in-person). In my practice, I am focused on supporting you to meet your self-determined goals. So many times we delay prioritizing what we really want; whether that is to resolve past trauma, restore relationships, improve communication, learn better parenting practices, support our family members, reduce symptoms, or increase our quality of life. With support, we are all able to reflect on and discern how to achieve our goals. I can provide a rich history of understanding trauma, healing, hope, and change.

When people come to therapy, they are often feeling scared, confused or lost because their life is unraveling and they have exhausted all options. During these times, we can lose our sense of self and our relationships with friends and family suffer. I am skilled at providing a safe and comfortable space to engender trust and promote healing, helping clients gain greater insight to manage life's hurdles. Calling on my 17+ years of experience, my therapeutic philosophy involves empowering clients to work through past traumas and self-defeating behaviors to lead more fulfilling lives.

Do things feel confusing, overwhelming, or uncertain? Does the current season you are walking through feel lonely or isolating? Support is more important now, than ever. You do not have to journey forward alone. Your personal struggles are private, intimate, and personal---so a safe, warm, healing space and a therapist that you can create a comfortable and trusting relationship with is of the utmost importance to me. My goal is to help my clients find healing, restore peace and hope, and fully thrive in creating the type of life they both want and deserve to live.
