My area of focus and specialty has been with adolescents. Through working with teens I inevitably work with their parents and I'm comfortable working with adults as well on their own issues. I can also be a guiding hand to help them improve their parenting skills with a Love and Logic approach. I'm experienced with complicated family systems and truly believe that creating change for a teen requires work from the entire family to help support that change. Teens are malleable and are very capable of change if given the proper support.

My approach with my clients is based on a pragmatic intuitive approach, customized to individual needs. My goal is to assist my clients in finding and tailoring tools to aid them in becoming the best person they can be on a daily basis. I strive to help individuals develop the strength to overcome interpersonal challenges, relational difficulties, and life crises. I believe that strong marriages and supportive families are vital to the ability to recover from personal crises and regain hope which can promote life-long change.

I help clients build a positive self esteem and a strong self identity through a secure therapeutic relationship that builds trust, eventual confrontation, and teach them coping skills to take through the rest of their lives. Working with the mind and body for a complete holistic experience is imperative in my practice. Learning how to regulate emotions and not allow symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress and other emotional issues to take over their lives is a key component to my therapy. My practice is Telehealth, I'm licensed in New Jersey, New York, Montana and Florida.

Over the past ten years of my professional life, I have worked with individuals and their families to achieve a sense of well being, increase agency and reduce distress. With a holistic view of each client, I offer a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that allows me to meet the needs of a wide variety of individuals and families. I am committed to meeting clients where they are and working tirelessly to create a real therapeutic relationship that is non-judgemental, safe and authentic.

My ideal clients are high-achieving women who struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-judgment. I understand that your needs include learning effective coping skills to manage stress, overwhelm and anxiety and to reprogram and process your limiting beliefs and past traumas. My goal with clients is to support them with feeling more confident, in control, regulated, fulfilled, and at peace. I'm a great fit for you if you are ready to dive deep and achieve transformative results without wasting time or money on traditional therapeutic approaches.

We all encounter moments in life that can create a ripple effect in the way we view and treat ourselves. These moments may exacerbate symptoms we would normally be able to manage or they may be the catalyst for something we have never experienced. The coping mechanisms we have used to survive in the past do not define us, and with the support of a good team, we can begin to learn new skills to help move us forward. Finding the right person to talk to can be a first step in finding a path to (re)discovering a more regulated and integrated self.

My work is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for well-being, growth, and healing. With a safe environment, the conditions are created to let go of shame and judgements around emotions and behaviors, creating space to cultivate curiosity, acceptance, and compassion about your experiences. My intention is to create the conditions that allow you to closely examine your life and values… and ultimately cultivate and achieve your goals. I offer a warm, supportive, and safe space for transformational inner work that leads to lasting growth and change.

Are you struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, poor sleep, or managing a chronic health condition? I’m here to help. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals dealing with the physical and emotional challenges of chronic health issues. I believe in a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy. We will work together to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. My aim is to empower you with the tools and strategies to improve your quality of life and achieve lasting wellness.

Welcome to the beginning of your healing journey, whether it’s for yourself, your child, or your family. As a licensed psychotherapist with extensive training in trauma, PTSD, attachment, body image, mood disorders, and anxiety, I am committed to fostering a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore the complexities of your life and relationships. My approach combines the empowering principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and attachment theory from a strengths-based perspective.

I specialize in helping individual adults with relationship issues, developing healthy boundaries, assertive communication, and setting goals that improve their daily lives. I also have training in treating anxiety and depression with the use of psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, and additional treatment approaches. I take a holistic approach to therapy that encompasses both mind and body awareness for best results.

Sessions are currently available, in office and equine assisted psychotherapy. I inherently care about helping you and value your unique life. I'm not a passive counselor who leans back in her chair behind a clipboard muttering an occasional “um-hum.” I am genuinely interested in hearing your story and helping you discover tools and insights to heal and grow. I view you as the expert of your own life and can help you explore patterns and beliefs, help challenge and inspire you and find solutions for change. My ultimate goal is to work with you to create empowerment, freedom and joy in your life.

My approach is empathic, direct, and thoughtful. Given I have a wide background in my training and experience, I adapt my therapeutic approach to your needs. I find that effective therapy is a collaborative approach where we work together to understand your concerns, their origins, and most importantly what can be done to bring about both the internal and behavioral changes that lead to more satisfaction and fulfillment in life . My goal in therapy is to help integrate your shame and vulnerabilities into a healthy identity grounded in self-esteem, pride, and resiliency.

You wish that thing that happened when you were a child/soldier/first responder/partner/friend would stop creating problems in your “now,” but it won't. You know trauma, shame, anxiety, addiction, guilt, and depression suck because one or more of these open, infected, invisible wounds are your constant, unwanted companions. They get in the way of the life you want for you and those you love. I create and guard the safe, supportive, judgement-free space where you can say anything...and be accepted. Discuss and make any decision....and be supported. You & this Preacher’s Kid/Actor/Homeless/Soldier/Veteran/Businessman...now Therapist.

You're late, again! Scrambling to try and get out the door you wonder why you just can't "be normal" like everyone else. You speed to work cursing at every red light and car that's in your path. "Why am I like this?!" Feelings of shame, anger, and frustration rush through your body. You long to feel different, to be able to do the seemingly simple tasks everyone can do without effort, without procrastinating. But you can't, or at least that is how it feels. Everyone tells you to makes lists, keep a schedule, set alarms...but you've tried all that and none of it works. You start to believe there just must be something wrong with you.

I am a therapist who will be with you in tackling life's most difficult moments - anxiety, perfectionism, grief, loss, depression, and trauma with a particular focus on PTSD, postpartum depression & anxiety, and traumatic birth experiences. Understanding that every struggle is unique, the therapy provided seeks to aid those grappling with complex emotions and experiences. The journey towards healing might be tough, but together, we can chart a course toward resilience, coping, and meaningful progress. Empathetic care and tailored strategies are the heart of my practice.

Therapy is a cooperative journey forward. Therapy is a process of knowing ourselves in full honesty and understanding our connection with self and others. Trauma, depression and anxiety are common and none of us are immune. All of us have the potential to become strong in the spots where we feel weak, or as Hemingway put it, "The world breaks everyone, and afterword, many are strong in the broken places". The body and mind seek to heal, mend, and find balance. This is a natural process that needs cultivation to be brought to fruition.

As a therapist, I believe each person begins life whole and fulfilled. Yet, life's challenges often lead us astray, causing pain and estrangement from our true selves. Therapy offers a way to rediscover who you were before trauma, sadness, and fear took over.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Maybe you are struggling in your relationships and want to feel more connected with others. Maybe you are someone who wants to learn more about yourself and how you interact with the world around you. Everyone has struggles that are unique to them and their past experiences. Therapy can help you view difficult issues from a different perspective. A new perspective can help you change patterns and solve problems differently, leading you to feel more comfortable in your day-to-day life.

I want to help others because I care about people, and I love what I do for that very reason. I, and if you would like my therapy canine Ronin, are excited to meet and work with you to help you achieve your goals. I received my Masters of Social Work in 2014 and I am licensed to practice with my LCSW. I specialize in cognitive/thought processes as well as behavioral issues.
