Sometimes the assistance of a trained professional can help you get past the roadblocks in life that could be holding you back from reaching your goals. I use a variety of clinical tools dependent upon each individual's goals and unique needs. I have been a social worker for over 20 years, and have a wealth of knowledge and experience working with individuals, adolescents and families.

As a psychotherapist with over 30 years in the field of counseling, social work, substance abuse and mental health my focus is to help clients work on “Letting Go" of past hurt, trauma, release negative feelings and open up to personal growth. Clients will find the office to be welcoming, safe, respectful, and non-judgmental. This structure is designed to allow the client to experience freedom as they explore the journey to find meaning, understanding, and purpose. I provide guidance using psychological CBT modalities and techniques to help the client change thoughts, change emotions, change behaviors and change their lives.

Ideally, our early experiences of connection were secure, safe, accessible, and responsive and we developed an internal sense of ourselves as loveable, worthy, and deserving of getting our needs met. But what happens when this has not been our experience? Many of us have had to find ways to adapt and survive moments of disconnect, invalidation, or criticism. This can often mean we hold beliefs about ourselves that are limiting, worry that we have to hide or minimize parts of who we are, deny certain emotions, hustle for our worth, and/or build up layers of protection. I can support you to heal, connect and create lasting change.

I believe in helping those who come to my office with compassion and understanding in an atmosphere conducive towards healing, where there is no room for judgment or criticism. In psychotherapy, my clients find an opportunity to go within, tap into issues that are unresolved and explore endless possibilities to make necessary changes that add meaning to their lives. It is a journey of self-discovery for clients who are willing to take the necessary steps towards self-awareness, mood-regulation and self-actualization.

Hi, I'm Jill! As a therapist, I am deeply committed to fostering healing, growth, and empowerment in individuals navigating life's challenges. My journey into the field of psychology began with a curiosity about the human mind and spirit, and over the years, it evolved into a passion for supporting others on their paths toward emotional well-being and self-discovery.

I am a master's student in clinical mental health counseling completing my internship at Woodbridge Therapy Group. My approach to counseling is client-centered, collaborative, and holistic. I believe that each individual is unique, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported.

As a therapist, I have much to offer. My many varied years of professional experience as a clinical social worker, my excellent education, combined with my personal life experience serves me well. Together, we collaborate on a new trusted relationship built on safety that has the potential to aid your growth with whatever issue you choose to work on. I work especially well with children and adolescents and have a good foundation in play therapy, yet adults are often surprised that I can work equally well with their concerns. We can design an approach that works for you.

My approach to therapy focuses on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. This allows clients to work through their struggles in an emotionally safe, non-judgmental, honest, and compassionate space. The journey of working through struggle becomes an opportunity for growth and healing. I have formal training in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, and Gottman Method Couples Training (1 & 2). I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, but my passion is working with couples.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of healing, resilience, and personal growth? I understand how hard it is and that taking the first step towards a better life takes a lot of courage. I am here to walk along side you as you take your first step toward healing from PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and many more of life's challenges.

I strongly believe in building a collaborative relationship with my clients in helping them overcome their personal struggles. As a clinician, I strive to create a safe and warm environment that is compassionate, person-centered, and promotes the unique individual strengths of my clients. I prescribe to an integrative approach to therapy that includes elements of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, person-centered, interpersonal, and strength-based approaches. More importantly, my approaches are tailored to the specific needs of individuals and families to help them achieve balance in their lives and overcome their struggles.

Our mission is "To empower individuals, couples, and families to break free from the chains that bind them, in order to create present and multi-generational changes that last forever." Indelible means that which cannot be undone; permanent." Too often, individuals, couples, and families cycle through services and treatment providers, only to continue suffering and feeling as if no one understands and/or no one can help. This can be traumatic. Often, issues can run deep and last for generations. Indelible Changes was born out of the desire to help individuals, couples, and families break free from the chains that bind them.

Seeking help and support is a significant step towards caring for yourself. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself or are feeling overwhelmed. You're just doing the basics and floating through life. Maybe you experience intense moods. You're hurting and feel hopeless. You're just stuck. Parents, are you concerned about your child? Maybe they're starting to withdraw more or are struggling with school and friends.

Not sure what's going on with your kid? Is his/her behavior different - either anxious, angry, or antsy? Or maybe he/she has low self esteem? We help anxious/angry/antsy kids lead happier lives for happier homes. We help families get unstuck, rather it be relationship tension (mother/daughter relationships) or mind blocks (anger or anxiety issues). Through brief-solution focused counseling, we provide a safe and warm environment. Let's sit down and talk. Click on the website link to find out more or call for an appointment today.

In every stage of life, we face challenges and obstacles that will test us and can cause us to experience difficult emotional responses. Other times, we don’t know why we feel the way we do. Whatever you may be experiencing, deciding to seek help from a therapist takes strength and courage.

My work is focused on supporting individuals who have anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as as well as a wide range of other challenges. In sessions, my clients are assisted in better understanding their emotions and relationships through open dialogue, art and activities that encourage reflection. We will work collaboratively to find personalized, practical skills and solutions that promote healing and wholeness. As a compassionate therapist I pride myself on creating a safe environment for clients to address their concerns.
