Therapists in Toms River, NJ

I am a LCSW with over 10 years of experience in the field. My private practice was formed under the simple concept that our experiences are unique & individual & our experience with therapy should also mirror that. I built my practice under the same values of my sessions; with integrity,compassion & a little bit of humor. These qualities, in my view, are essential to building lasting, therapeutic relationships. As your therapist, I will utilize evidenced based treatments that are tailored to you. I will be there to work alongside of you, to provide you with direct, yet supportive feedback help guide you to achieve your goals.

Do you feel so overwhelmed and numb that you feel everything and nothing at the same time? Do you struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety?

I aim to help you become your greatest supporter instead of your biggest critic and to learn to relate with yourself in a new way that promotes growth and healing.
