These are the main issues I can help you with: trauma, stress, anxiety, burnout, and work-life balance challenges.
Overwhelmed by Stress and Anxiety? You’re Not Alone.
You’re successful on the outside but mentally and emotionally drained on the inside. The pressure to excel—at work, in relationships, and in life—can feel overwhelming. If stress and anxiety are affecting your focus, motivation, or well-being, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Through our work together, we will identify the root causes of stress and anxiety, develop strategies to manage pressure and avoid burnout, reframe limiting beliefs, and build emotional resilience. Therapy can help foster clarity, confidence, and balance in your personal and professional life.

You’re overwhelmed. Your mind races, toggling between to-do lists, taking note of what still needs to get done. You agonize over whether or not what you said or did was good enough. You desperately want to say no to the next request, to cut yourself some slack but haven’t the slightest clue how. The idea terrifies you. What will others think? So instead, to quiet the internal chaos you over do it on whatever takes your mind anywhere but here – food, alcohol, work, TV, shopping, social media, sleep, exercise, etc.

Often people struggle with anxiety, depression, unresolved issues, relationship problems, trauma, anger outbursts, addiction, and overwhelming stress.
My specialty is trauma because it is often the source of the issues. Trauma has many sources: childhood, an event, witnessing a terrible event, relentless news catastrophizing 24-7, the pandemic, especially medical and mental health professionals, first responders, bullying, domestic violence, and grief, to name a few. Trauma is usually behind addiction

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe we all have the ability to make positive changes in our lives no matter what age.

Specialize in trauma and emotional dysregulation, and also work with anxiety and mood-related concerns.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like your emotions are running the show, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. Sometimes we feel too much or not enough, and either way, it can pull us away from the life we want to be living.
Therapy with me goes beyond just talking. I take a brain-based, evidence-driven approach to help you understand how your mind and body are working and how to shift patterns that no longer serve you. My style is compassionate, honest, and direct, creating a space where you feel supported while also being gently challenged to grow.

Lighthouse Counseling & Sand Play Training Center, LLC was conceived in 2000 in a tiny office in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey by Gretchen Morgan and Mary Pat McGeehin. Their search for effective treatment led them to include the use of Sand Play Therapy, EMDR, yoga and therapeutic group work with their clients. This was in response to the expanding body of research which illustrated that the mind-body connection was integral to the healing of mental health issues. In 2004, they expanded their practice to include like-minded affiliate clinicians and moved to a larger facility in Eatontown, NJ.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

Although I have come to specialize in the treatment of trauma, I am equally committed to working with relationship issues and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.
I believe that the most effective therapy awakens clients to the knowledge and wisdom that they already possess but are not in touch with. By tapping into their individual strengths, clients can begin to heal from past experiences and overcome barriers to living and loving fully. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist who specializes in showing both adults and adolescents how to reach their full potential . My practice is strictly virtual these days, which allows clients to skip the commute and connect with me from the comfort of their home or workplace.
