Please e-mail, to be placed on waitlist. After 15 years working with community-based, non-profit agencies in multiple roles as well as about 20 years working with vulnerable youth, I am happily dedicated to private practice care. My practice is centered around whole-person treatment. Together, we will explore root causes to your symptoms, the narrative of your family system, process old trauma and develop healthy coping skills to manage your symptoms. Trauma, OCD, Generalized Anxiety and Codependency Treatment, are my primary specialties, and I look forward to learning about and helping you identify your unique goals for therapy. I find that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused CBT as well as Short-term, Solution Focused Therapy, are efficient in the goal-setting process for most clients. I also use Narrative Therapy and Depression Treatment Quality Improvement (DTQI) methods to support reducing Depression. Treatment is not one-size fits all. My approach is to hold empathy, compassion and work from the stance that everyone can grow into the person they want to be. I do my best to be real and infuse humor in my style of therapy. I believe in humility and appropriate self-disclosure, but the focus is always on you! If you would like a free-consult, please e-mail for the fastest response!

My approach to therapy is that “no one size fits all,” and to meet you where you are at in a non-judgmental space. I work with adults in individual, group, and couples therapy, with people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and other mental health issues detrimental to a fulfilling life. All of my client relationships begin with an opportunity for you to talk and to have someone listen. Whether you are a young professional or recent graduate, or undergoing a transition that finds you stuck at a crossroad, I have the experience to support you as you take the next step. In our sessions, we will explore different chapters in your life, considering how that past has shaped your present, and how to set the stage for a fulfilling future. I take a solutions-oriented approach, incorporating talk therapy with mindfulness, and and as a classically-trained pianist I also employ therapeutic interventions using music. Coming to therapy for the first time may feel intimidating, which is why I strive to create a safe, accepting space where we can work together. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and welcomes all gender identities, sexual orientations, and cultures. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation or for more information.

I believe that a good therapist doesn't "fix" you, because no one really needs "fixing." My goal is to create a supportive environment to help you express yourself and learn the skills necessary to handle whatever life might throw your way. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or are just going through a rough time, there are a variety of strategies we can use to get you back to enjoying life. In my sessions, I like to utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to help you feel more confident in your ability to handle life's stressors. The ultimate goal is for you to feel confident in handling whatever life hands you. I enjoy helping people develop skills to better cope with their life circumstances. I have a passion for working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, survivors of trauma, and young adults trying to find their way. I also pride myself on the work that I've done with the trans community in helping people live their lives authentically. At some point, life is challenging for all of us. Through my work, I have been amazed at the difficult situations that people are able to overcome in order to have happy and healthy lives. To make counseling even more accessible, my sessions are being offered entirely via telehealth so you can conveniently meet with me from the comfort of your own home.

The teenage years can be really tough on teens AND their parents. Changes happen that can throw their emotions on a rollercoaster -- sadness, worry or anger can take over. Friends can push a teen toward dangerous choices. Add on the stress of high school, early romantic relationships, working towards independence, and there are all sorts of places that a teenager can struggle. It takes a special sort of counselor to work with a teen. Someone who is serious and kind when they struggle, but keeps a sense of humor, wonder and joy that can connect with them past those struggles. Teenagers are learning to be adults. That presents a huge opportunity if we embrace it. Teenagers are more open to new ideas than many people realize. With the right guidance, they can enter adulthood with an amazing amount strength and understanding. I love helping teens and seeing that change. Your child and your family are worth it. Call me for a free phone consultation. I will talk with you about your struggle and how I can help. If your teen is struggling, don't wait and see if they find a way out. Let me help guide them.

I am licensed to provide therapy in NJ, NY and Florida. It is not always easy to make the decision to reach out for help, but it can make all the difference in your life. In our personal efforts to find solutions to issues we are faced with, we can find ourselves repeating patterns over and over that keep us stuck and feeling isolated despite our many efforts to improve our situation. Connecting with a skilled therapist can help you to move beyond your struggles, move beyond repeating patterns and approach life in a different, more meaningful and effective way. I provide a warm, compassionate, accepting, listening ear to assist you in the challenges you are facing. I assist you in accessing the strengths that I believe already exist within you to more effectively approach life's difficulties.

Life is probably challenging right now, and it has brought you to a point where you are unsure of what to do. I work individually with children, adolescents, and adults (4 years - 40 years) with slight family counseling (if needed). I have worked with children and adolescents dealing with emotional and behavioral problems at school or home, conflict with guardians/siblings, bullying, low self-esteem, abuse, and self-harm. I have worked with adults dealing with challenges at home or with family, life stressors, anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, and school or career challenges. It is my first priority to create a safe and non-judgmental space (whether virtually or in-person) for you to feel comfortable with me in each session. I want us to have a collaborative space for you to express your wants and needs comfortably. We all need someone in our corner to help us with these difficulties and that is perfectly okay! I like to meet you where you are to help you get to where you want to be. I will help you create healthy relationships and boundaries, set and achieve goals, and feel like you have control again.

I believe counseling should be more than just managing symptoms and changing behavior. we each have a story that may be effecting how we are living life today. Additionally, many times in life we experience loss and this goes unprocessed, unheard, and many people become silent sufferers, which can then lead to more significant mental health struggles. By helping individuals and couples mourn their loss, I help individuals not get stuck in their grief and find renewal, balance, hope and healing. I am a licensed professional counselor with 20 years experience working in the mental health field. Having worked in a wide range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, large health care systems and in private practice, I have refined my skills and have chosen to specialize in Grief and Loss, Trauma Healing, EMDR, and Couples therapy. I believe that everyone struggles with something, though not all struggles look the same. I am honored to use my natural skill sets to help individuals find healing in their life and their relationships through looking at the present, past, and future through objective compassionate eyes.

Your whole life, you’ve been told that you’re “too much.” Too sensitive, too emotional, too high-maintenance. At the same time, you’ve been made to feel that you’re not enough in many ways. But they don’t see the whole picture. How your sensitivity to others' words and feelings makes you so empathetic and caring, or the way that you notice all the small details that other people tend to miss. You're cautious and deliberate, but you also tend to come up with the most creative solutions. You might be "picky" about the way things feel, but you also know exactly how to transform a space into a cozy, welcoming haven for others. The demands of daily life can be draining when you feel everything so deeply, but you can create a life that nourishes and recharges your energy instead of leaving you overwhelmed and irritable. I love working with clients like you, who are meticulous, insightful, and unwilling to settle for just getting by. I want you to discover what I already know: that your sensitivity is in fact your greatest strength. I have a special interest in working with sensitive parents, mothers with infants and toddlers, and young professional women. Email is the best way to reach me, and I have several clinicians at my practice so please contact me for availability!

I would like you to feel that we are working in partnership to make changes in your life and in finding the answers for each challenge you face. Clients need support, suggestions, positive encouragement and a safe, nonjudgmental place to share issues and concerns. La habilidad de proveer terapia a mis clientes hispanohablantes es uno de los servicios que ofrezco. En plus, mes clients francophones bénéficieront de partager dans leur propre langue. Clients that struggle with disordered eating will find benefit and true empathy and understanding during our work together; many clients present with binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia, or other unhealthy coping patterns with food. Helping clients with coping mechanisms/anxiety allows them to experience their day to day with a more hopeful outlook. To use my training, experience and passion to help clients pursue a healthy, confident and empowered outlook for their lives is my life's work and passion. To provide a therapy setting and be trusted with information that can be uncomfortable to discuss is a privilege and an honor that I will never stop earning with my clients through our journey.

I've spent my life searching. And in that quest I have explored my own struggles in life, battled my demons, and have experienced both the joys and the hardships that life so often delivers. It was my own questioning that led me to become a therapist; I want to dig deeper, I want to know more, and I want to help others on their journey as well. I have fought the battle of addiction and have come to know the freedom of recovery. I also understand the complexities of relationships and how they affect our sense of being connected. I utilize Dialectal Behavioral Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy and have completed extensive trainings in Brainspotting Trauma Care, DBT for Adolescents, Attachment Theory for couples and relationships, and offer Intervention Services worldwide. I specialize in substance use disorders and how they effect the entire family, but also work with a variety of relational and emotional issues.

Everyone deserves dignity and respect. My job as a counselor is to listen and provide non-judgmental support for whatever challenges you are facing. I want to work collaboratively with you to set goals and achieve progress toward your well-being. I believe that people have a choice about their behavior, but they are also a product of their environment and experience, influenced by culture and relationships. I work with my clients to raise awareness of their motivations and goals, and to gain control of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I build a therapeutic relationship with clients based on empathy, curiosity, and respect. I celebrate diversity and I advocate for people from all populations, especially those from marginalized and oppressed groups. I am passionate about working with survivors of abuse, children and families, and first responders experiencing secondary trauma. One of my favorite quotes by Maya Angelou summarizes my feelings about counseling: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
