Therapists in Wall, NJ

It is difficult to know where to begin when it comes to your mental health, especially if you are suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, or a big life change. I believe growth comes from enhancing our understanding of ourselves, and learning to make choices that can lead us to greater freedom and lasting positive change. You have the potential for health and healing.

Therapy is an opportunity to “sea” possibilities that lay before you. We can’t change the past, but we can eliminate patterns that don’t serve us and keep us stuck. Are you looking for a safe place to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment?

Sometimes life can become especially difficult. Having an objective, trained counselor can provide the tools and opportunity to open the door to peace and understanding.

Throughout our lives we are constantly challenged with change and transition. Sometimes these periods of change are smooth and gradual but often our course in life can be altered in unforeseen ways. These changes can arise out of many issues such as aging, grief, loss, identity and trauma. Change can affect us at any period throughout our lives. From early childhood through our later years we encounter obstacles and issues that force us to adapt. It is through this adaptation that we learn to overcome our struggles, embrace our strengths and become our greatest selves.

Anxiety and worry play a role in all of our lives. It can cause us feel stuck or make even the smallest decision seem impossible. You are not alone, many feel the same way everyday.
