Life is challenging, and sometimes it can be overwhelming. When you are dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma, it is OK to reach out for help. All of us need that from time to time. I can provide you with a space to step back and look at where you have been and where you are headed. I can give you the support you need to make the changes that will put you back on the road to a better life.

There are times in everyone's life where issues seem overwhelming. Sometimes what we need during these times is an environment where they feel complete acceptance and insight. I provide a safe space to explore those feelings and help set and maintain goals to make positive changes in your life. If you are struggling with life transitions and stress, hopelessness, confusion, sadness, or depression, anxiety, social functioning, behavioral changes, low self-worth, lack of confidence, trauma, grief and loss, if you or a loved one struggles with addiction, these are a few of the circumstances of which I have worked alongside.

Congratulations and Welcome. You've taken an important step. It takes strength and courage to consider therapy. I am constantly in awe of what we're made of-and it's good stuff, no matter what we are struggling with or what we've been thru. Therapy can help with your relationships, it can help to find more balance in your life, it can help remove some roadblocks so you can feel less stuck and more healthy, and it can help you get to know yourself better, which, then, helps in your relationships. It's a nice circle.

In my confidential private practice counseling, I focus on solution based modules in hopes that you will become emotionally connected to yourself. I understand what anxiety and depression is. I offer a place of safety, absolute respect, and no judgement. In this safe, relaxed space you can let go of fears, resistance, become motivated and hopeful about your life & future with yourself and those that you love. The possibilities are endless and true happiness can happen when you are able to live at peace with yourself. My hope is to always hear someone smile.

In addiction recovery, your biggest adversary is your own mind. Maybe you've asked yourself "why do I have such a strong intent for positive changes, but just as things start to improve I seem to change my mind?" It's the same experience for most of us in recovery; completely normal. Recovery support programs give you the tools you need to transform your life, but what's often missing are the skills needed to use those tools, and a healed nervous system that will allow it. A set of daily practices for both mind and body will change everything for you. Ask about HeartMath and the Safe and Sound Protocol for polyvagal toning!

Hi Welcome and thanks for clicking on my profile. Do you feel like you have lost your joy? Or perhaps you have lost your way in life? I am a therapist with 25 years experience with all levels of care, and I can help. Let's figure out what is holding you back...together. I have a special interest in women's issues and teenagers. I also am experienced in helping families improve relationships.

Have you experienced trauma or attachment wounding? Are you in a constant state of fight or flight or dissociation and shut down? Does your nervous system feel like your enemy? Traumatic events affect people in very different ways. One thing is certain though; trauma is stored in your body and affects your mind, body, memory, mood, spirit, and relationships with yourself and with others. There is a way to befriend your nervous system, effectively heal your past wounds, cope with your current triggers, and discover your own personal post-traumatic growth and resiliency for the future.

The clients I typically work with are at a place where they want more out of their life; however, they feel stuck in patterns of unhealthy beliefs or behaviors. They know there is more that they are capable of but are unsure how to overcome the barriers they continue to experience, which lead them to a place of fear and hopelessness. In our work together, I will help you identify your sufferings and work alongside you to challenge you to gain the endurance to mold you into a new character. If you are ready for this, I have hope that the work we will do together will help you become a healthier version of yourself.

Do you often feel lost or weighed down by feelings of anxiety or overthinking? Together, we will work on approaches that will help you live your life to the fullest. I graduated from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey with a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling & a focus in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2016. My professional experience includes dual and multiple diagnosis among substance abuse, blindness/vision impairment, deaf-blindness, transition (adolescent) counseling and vocational/career counseling and vocational evaluations.

My ideal clients are working professionals that struggle to build their ideal lives. They struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma, which manifests in poor communication, troubled relationships, overwhelming addictions, and/or PTSD. They have busy schedules and are open to or looking for telehealth or online therapy.

Find you, Be you, Love you is my motto. Once you learn and accept who you are and where you have come from, you can love who you are. My ideal client is one who despite their struggles and trials, wants to keep moving forward while finding the best solution to do so. They recognize when they need help and accepts that sometimes they can't always do it alone. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use? Is it hard for you to get out of bed sometimes or often struggle with letting go of the past? I have been there and done that and I want to let you know you are there now but you can let it go as well.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially with the demands of every day life. This can be from daunting to-do lists, to feeling burned out in your career, or even trying to just survive. My passion is working with women in different life stages, find their inner strength. Whether that is more confidence in their own abilities, tools to help handle everyday life challenges, or even addressing that past trauma that has been holding them back. I am confident in knowing having a safe space to talk, healing can begin and change can take form.
