My mission is to consistently provide quality mental health counseling that is based in scientific research, tailored to your individual needs, and conducted in a spirit of collaboration between us. I have specialized training in anxiety treatment, mindfulness interventions, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

My ideal client is open to insight and a different perspective. They are perhaps ready for a change and will walk a path that may be uncomfortable at times. My ideal client has dealt with everything from existential crises, searching for life's meaning, addiction, behavior issues, trauma, and attachment issues, to name a few that stand out.

A client who is continuously present physically and mentally for treatment is ideal. Despite setbacks and stressors, they still move forward, only taking a moment. Their issues can be environmental, situational, or psychological.

I enjoy working with clients who are willing to work with me to get them to where they can thrive in life. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to exploring their past and exploring how they can use that information to better understand themselves on a deeper level. My ideal client wants to improve and change to have a more fulfilling life. I enjoy providing clients with the safe and compassionate environment they might need to process their emotions and past trauma to help begin creating a life worth living.

My ideal client is motivated to change and willing to put in the work. They struggle with anxiety or PTSD and want to release the burden of feeling trapped inside their own mind. Their goals are to create and cultivate new hobbies like meditation, journaling, and finding ways to set up boundaries to cultivate more self-love, among other things. They are willing to be vulnerable, to go deep and face their own shadows. It is my hope that working with me will help my clients of this nature to free themselves through our deep conversations.

I specialize in Trauma & PTSD, Domestic Violence, and Anxiety. My ideal client is ready to be open and accepting of the therapeutic process, committed to participating and collaborating. My ideal client is looking to either begin or continue their healing journey from the past to gain a more insightful and healthy perspective on life in the now and future.

An ideal client for a mental health professional would be an individual with a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc., who demonstrates the motivation to change and improve their well-being. This client should be committed to attending therapy sessions regularly, keeping appointments, and actively engaging in the therapeutic process to manage or overcome their diagnosis.

My ideal client would be motivated to achieve better for themselves. They could be coming for anxiety, issues in relationships, or a stressful life event. They would be choosing to focus on themselves, what they need, and seeking help. They may be struggling with negative self-thoughts and emotional regulation or simply need guidance in how to identify and verbalize their feelings. Their goals for therapy would be to process their thoughts and emotions while developing long-term skills to use in the future.

My ideal client is a young adult aged between 18-30. Their issues and needs may look like learning how to control anxiety symptoms, increasing emotion regulation and distress tolerance while improving mindfulness. This client is motivated and willing to work with the therapist to learn how to change their life to meet their goals.

At The Artemis Center for Guidance, we work toward reducing emotional suffering. This is accomplished through direct counseling services and psycho-education provided by highly skilled and compassionate clinicians and, through the development and instruction of training programs that will provide other professionals the skills to offer exceptional services to those in emotional pain. We believe all individuals are inherently able to cope with life's hardships, and with skilled guidance during times of transition, each person possesses the freedom to strive toward and reach his or her highest potential and lead a productive and happy life.

I strive to provide a safe space to work through emotions and find effective ways to manage them. I help people process the ways that our past experiences and current reactions affect the decisions that we make in order to promote healthy change and understanding of ourselves and our patterns. Oftentimes, we are not aware of the underlying things that influence our gut reactions which can create a barrier to us meeting the goals we set for ourselves. Counseling is a way to help you understand yourself better and to break down those barriers that stop you from moving forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20-plus years experience in the human services field and I have served individuals and families in a variety of capacities. I have experience working with individuals of all ages, including teenagers, college students, and adults. My primary areas of focus have been treating depression, anxiety, relationship/peer issues, grief issues, and family issues. I believe that mental health is a key component of our overall wellness and that the time is now to address the stressors and thoughts that prevent us from meeting our full human potential.

We are happy to announce our office is open and we offering Telehealth sessions for individuals and groups!! With over 30 years of combined experience, Dr. Angelone and Dr. Zane have been working together in various capacities since 2005. With our staff of seven clinicians who largely adhere to a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) perspective, we can provide rapid symptom relief while developing strategies for long-term change. We also maintain continuous training on the latest strategies and integrate them into our treatment.

Have you ever had the thought of starting therapy? Then immediately, you think that it's the scariest and most awkward idea you could ever have. "How could I possibly open up to a stranger?" you ask yourself. Well, if that isn't your thought process, it's actually mine. There's something inside of me that remembers we came to Earth to connect and be seen. Being truly seen is scary for almost everyone — even me. Together, we can normalize and practice how to be seen by others, and most importantly, by ourselves. Therapy can be a relaxed, fun, and transformative interaction. I'm up for the challenge of proving that to you.

Lets be real. You’re in a bad spot and the last thing I want to do is bore you with optimistic clichés full of toxic positivity and lofty promises of healing and wellness. If you are having a difficult time adapting to everything going on around you and these “unprecedented times”, or if you are frustrated with the collective vibe to just accept crappy circumstances, you have come to the right place.
