Therapists in Wildwood, NJ

Good day to you! My educational background is in Clinical Psychology and Counseling Psychology with a Post Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis. I began my career in providing behavioral and mental healthcare services in 2004. Since that time, I have devoted myself to helping youth, adolescents, and adults address neurodiverse needs. In June of 2016, I founded Beautiful Minds to meet the mental and behavioral health needs of youth, families, and adults living in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The adults and teenagers I work with, individually and with family supports involved, have made the conscious decision to meet with me in hopes of feeling better in whatever way is genuine to them, whatever they may be up against emotionally, mentally and behaviorally. In return, I find fulfillment and pride in developing a trusting, empathetic, and effective therapeutic partnership with the goal to process issues at hand, find accessible and effective solutions, and help them get back on track to a happier, healthier life!

Areas of specialty include: developing communication strategies focused on improving relationships in step-families/blended families, and for individuals and couples.

My extensive nursing background, coupled with my Masters Degree therapy training and experience, have given me a deeper depth of empathy and understanding of life's challenges.

Healing begins here. I Can Help You Experience Life Differently. Do you feel anxious, depressed, and out of balance in your life and your relationships? Maybe there's a nagging, overwhelming unease that won't go away and you sometimes feel swallowed up by it. How would your life be different if you spoke to a safe, non-judgmental, experienced, therapist? I meet people where they are and work with adults treating a variety of needs. Through deep listening, compassion and understanding, we'll explore what's upsetting you and create a plan on what to do about it. Our crisis points are also our turning points.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist! I am very interactive, utilize humor, my own experience, and a lot of mindfulness in my approach. I am trained in yoga and other meditation techniques, and often integrate that background into the therapeutic process. I believe that you are the expert of yourself, and my role is to accompany you in recognizing and owning that. I will help you not only understand why you are suffering, but also learn tools from many different traditions for dealing with life's challenges. I specialize in helping motivated people navigate the challenging changes in life.

A clinical psychologist with a Judeo-Christian spiritual base and postdoctoral training in the fields of individual and marital therapy, addiction, psychopharmacology, forensic psychology, and neuropsychology. My philosophy is this: Respect for the individual is the upper most concern because inside each of us is someone who deserves to live his or her life with dignity, joy and positive self regard. Therapy is that process of self-revelation and healing whereby each person shares of themselves in the hope that their doctor will walk with them and teach them how they might live a life of greater peace and happiness.

I work with adolescents and adults, specifically those who are looking for support around experiencing anxiousness in their family dynamics, relationships, and path. I offer support around navigating challenges and healthy development. In turn, clients are able to increase their self-worth and confidence to embody who they want to be and live a rewarding life.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful and transformative experience. I believe that psychological healing occurs within the relationship between patient and therapist. Together we will seek to explore and understand your life experiences, thoughts, and emotions, with the goal of helping you experience your world in a new way.

33 years of experience. Doctoral education. In person. Local provider. Google reviews. Providing caring and practical assistance for those who need it most is my main focus. Each person has unique circumstances and needs so I work to ensure that I take the time necessary to fully understand you and the issues that have brought you in. With this comprehensive understanding of you and the specific issues we can work together to not only relieve the current problem, but also reduce the likelihood of it reoccurring.

Major life transitions can result in anxiety, depression, loneliness, and coping problems. Whether it's a breakup, divorce, death, job change, becoming a parent, retirement, going to college, or a new empty nest - change is constant.

I believe that life is too short to be anything other than your best self. Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed, messy, frustrated, and like you are always focused on the worst-case-scenario? Maybe you are the person everyone else turns to for help but inside feel like you need help most of all. Maybe you don't know what you need but know that something is missing. Therapy can help you untangle some of the mess, shift your perspectives, and help you to figure out what you need to help you to live a more fulfilled life.

Ultimately, someone who is actively seeks preventive and therapeutic measures to improve their mental health and overall quality of life.

Welcome to my practice, Shore Awakenings. Ever ask, "why me?" We know life can be unfair, but it does not have to feel like a life sentence of discomfort and pain. Besides, darkness cannot exist without light (and vice versa). If you are open to the notion that life consists of lessons to help us better ourselves as humans then let's connect! Like many, I am familiar with trauma and loss, but still aim to see the beauty that life has in store. It would be an honor to support you. I also work with pre-teens to adults. I offer a holistic and integrated approach to my practice. Learn more at my website, www.shore-awakenings.com.
