LGBTQ+ Therapists in Ocean, NJ

If you are looking to feel better, make a change, and unlock your full potential...I am here to help. In my eyes, the most important thing about therapy is genuineness. When you are open and honest about your struggles and emotions with your therapist, you are allowing yourself to heal.

Do you want to build a happier, healthier you? Does anxiety, depression, negative body image, stress, or relationship issues show up too often in your life? Do you get down on yourself and feel unsure of how to make changes in your life? These feelings and problems can be symptoms of deeper wounds that most of the time are not obvious to us. Working together in therapy, we can explore what's underneath to help you better understand yourself, your feelings, patterns and behaviors. You have the answers and strength within yourself to heal from pain and self-doubt, and change unhelpful habits or relationships that don't serve you.

Clients: ages 18 and over- I am honored to have been in the field over 25 years; the last 22 years as a licensed therapist. I believe it's important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with, and I wish you luck on this healing journey. I utilize a client-centered approach and a warm, relational style. I was educated in a variety of interventions, so that I can find and tailor the best treatment strategy for you and the specific issues you are facing. I have a specialty in trauma, provide EMDR, and work often with stress, anxiety, and depression. I am also a yoga teacher, which I infuse into my work and my life.

I am a psychotherapist serving a range of adults including those with depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic medical illness, relationship issues, grief/loss issues, identity issues. LGBTQ affirming. You are seeking to reduce the “busy mind,” feel a sense of peace/inner calmness. You are seeking to address why you feel tight, guarded, anxious all the time, in a state of chronic depression. You are seeking to be present, in the moment, "grounded", wanting clear focus, and connection to others. You are willing to explore your emotions and how/where your body holds onto memories and experiences.

You constantly think about food and dieting and want the cycle to end. You emotionally eat or binge/purge to escape. You struggle getting dressed because you hate your body. You want to diet but every time you do, you lose the weight and regain some and more. You’re tired of the rollercoaster and want to do something different.
