Child Therapists in West Deptford, NJ

I'm moved by the longing of couples to be to be listened to with undivided attention, to be understood and accepted, to be seen in their virtues and appreciated, to be held with affection and delight, to be allowed to be themselves and shift from it's all about me to you need all the same things. Your criticism and force can step back when I help you care about your own wounds - that your partner can respect, but cannot heal for you. I walk with confounded parents to calm their reactions to their children's resistance. They feel ignored, failing to raise a caring and responsible son or daughter. Heart is heavy, values seem irrelevant. Unburden the heart so your children can hear your values, not your reactions. Couple and family difficulties have roots in old hurts where we managed with knee jerk reactions and attitudes of how things should be. I can help you hold perspective, where you value yourself when others discredit you, where you're open to feedback about what is not helpful without feeling criticized or angry. Therapy is not getting partners or children or peers to respond, it's being able to bring my values with conviction without being attached to the outcome

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

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults regarding a variety of emotion-based challenges, including attention and impulsivity, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, self-injury, and school difficulties. Through an eclectic approach to therapy, I aim to help my clients build skills in the area of emotion regulation, self-awareness, and relational engagement in order to reduce barriers to a healthy and joy-filled life across all domains: family and home, school, and peer relationships.

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.

I have been practicing for 30 years with a focus on family relationship issues. I am a support to individuals who are looking to understand themselves better in an effort to be better in their relationships. I work with individuals, families and couples who feel stuck in patterns they recognize but feel powerless to change. Helping children and adolescents deal with the transitions they face related to school, friendships and social pressure while they are dealing with tremendous physical and emotional changes is an on going treatment focus in my practice.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, you're transitioning out of a higher level of care, or you're somewhere in between, my goal is to help you experience relief from your symptoms and get back to living life on your terms. I work with teenagers (13+) and adults and specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience in treating PTSD and OCD and understand the importance of providing trauma-informed care. Regardless of your diagnosis, I believe that it's important to tailor each person's treatment to their specific needs.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or PTSD? Are these problems getting in the way of finding happiness in your life? Therapy can help you explore these problems and more. We can look at what is currently happening in your life and delve a little deeper to explore the origins of some of your problems.

You did the hard part: you made the brave decision to reach out for help and now you are here. You don't have to go through this process alone; allow me to help you with this next part of your healing journey. I provide my clients with a secure, compassionate, and empowering environment that promotes growth, self-compassion, and inner healing.
