I understand that many people come to therapy not knowing what to expect or feeling anxious and apprehensive and I'm here to help you figure that out. My ideal clients are those who want to make positive changes in their lives but find themselves discouraged or falling back in the same patterns time and time again. I believe that there is an infinite number of ways lasting positive changes can be achieved in therapy. Set backs and pitfalls happen along anyone's journey to wellness and those do not have to be the end! With an open mind and a little creativity, we can create clear, reachable mental health goals together.

Boutique and Concierge therapy are exclusive services that are only offered to a limited number of individuals at a time; this allows me to work deeply with each individual and provide personalized services and access to next level care with numerous perks that traditional therapy does not afford. Boutique and Concierge therapy are the epitome of individualized, custom-fit services. Insurance won’t dictate how many sessions you can have, and we won’t use a “one size fits all” approach to address your needs; our partnership will always reflect what you need in that moment.

No one teaches us how to handle the setbacks of life. Whether they be personal, family, career, or interpersonal. Sometimes problems can feel like a tremendous burden. In fact, obstacles are often pathways to reach a higher understanding of ourselves and how we fit into the larger scheme of things. Freedom from fear, worry, anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights arrives with the acceptance of non-perfection. We are all human and fallible, born to make mistakes. In a world of judgements and comparisons we need to treat ourselves and others with respect and compassion. "Be yourself..everyone else is taken".

I founded Compass Mental Wellness Services to bring a new level of mental health care to Sussex county, understanding that psychotherapy has approximately 60% positive outcomes overall. When you add any complexity to an individual case, the likely hood of positive outcomes decreases even further. I have strived to build a model of psychotherapy that can be used with any therapeutic technique but uses neuropsychological principles to enhance treatment by working with the brain instead of against it. I also utilizes cutting-edge neurophysiological treatment techniques to enhance treatment and enhance positive outcomes.

I work to help people and partners who have traumatic histories increase self awareness, adjust relational patterns, and reimagine their life and goals. We accomplish this together best through paced relational work. I approach our conversations with both curiosity and intuition. I ask questions to really understand you and the context you are in as well as using my own intuition and experience to inform our work together. I believe that the relationship that we build and the safety we feel create a space with a potential for awareness, healing, and growth.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
