Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Pompton Plains, NJ

There are times in our life that we face challenges and sometimes we need a little guidance to get ourselves back on the right path. I am a compassionate LCSW with 14 years of experience working with different populations in both the hospital and outpatient mental health settings. I currently offer individual therapy to teens, young adults and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions. I also completed specialized training and became certified in prenatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, helping new moms and families navigate their journey to parenthood and beyond.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples and parents struggling with overwhelming feelings, infertility, birth trauma, pregnancy/postpartum issues, trauma, anxiety, depression or general life obstacles. I believe that the way you view yourself, your relationships with others, and the world is a gateway to the therapeutic experience. My clients would describe my warmth, compassion, use of humor and realism as a recipe for connection and safety within our relationship. I am an active participant during sessions and willing to be vulnerable to move my client to a place of change.

I have a holistic approach to therapy knowing our mind, body and soul are all created to work and function in harmony. If something happens to impede that harmony, I help join with people in the process of discovery, grieving, healing and hope. We are uniquely made with our personalities, world views and paradigms. Wherever life has led you and to whatever point of pain, I am privileged to walk alongside you to provide insight, growth, healing and hope. I provide an empathic environment to embark on the process needed and can delicately challenge with objective feedback to help continue the healing journey.
