Female Therapists in Whitehouse Station, NJ

Life can be highly complex, with obstacles overwhelming the healthiest of minds. The decision to seek counseling is often not an easy one. Successful therapy is more than the absence of symptoms or issues, it is a life enriched with increased self-awareness/compassion/empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenging restrictive/limiting beliefs/behaviors, and grow toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there's true and honest connections with others, but more importantly within oneself. Finding and using your "inner voice" is often the key needed to begin meaningful change.

Welcome to my practice. I specialize in treatment with children, adolescents, and adults using a relational/cognitive behavioral approach.

I believe in evidence based treatment with goals. After all, you are coming to therapy to get better. You deserve to gain the results you want.

I am a NJ Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctoral Degree in Social Work. For the last decade I have worked with youth, adults, and families healing from trauma and PTSD. I specialize in working with individuals who have been impacted by child sexual abuse, sexual violence, and domestic violence as well as those coping with grief and loss, anxiety, and depression.

How are alcohol or other drugs showing up in your life? Anxiety and depression can be contributing factors and/or consequences. Maybe you're questioning if you have a problem, or you are in early recovery and want support to maintain your sobriety. You might feel discouraged when you break promises to yourself to cut back or stop. Trying to hide your use from family and friends can be exhausting. Sometimes habits turn into patterns that are hard to break despite your best intentions. Unresolved trauma can make recovery challenging.

Most people come upon a time when personal, family or relationship issues become overwhelming. My approach is to provide a safe, confidential space where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. I provide therapy that is tailor-made for whatever you are facing. With individuals, I treat depression and anxiety, OCD, trauma, and serious mental illnesses. If you aren’t sure what might be wrong but feel you need support, we can figure it out together. Through couples therapy, I can help with communication challenges and help improve the lives of everyone in the household.

As a highly energetic individual who has extensive experience in establishing supportive, motivational and therapeutic relationships with clients, I offer my services as a therapist.

My therapeutic approach is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve your mental health. We will focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
