Therapists Beginning With E in New Jersey

Take a moment and breathe. Looking for a therapist can be challenging. What you are doing takes courage and the results can be rewarding. I am here to support and guide individuals and families by understanding the emotional challenges and obstacles they face. We can work together to help increase awareness, freedom, and self-direction from the negative thoughts and feelings one may be experiencing. My theory is that when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace negative thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, people are free to experience change.

It can be extremely difficult to pick a therapist. It can also be very frightening. A therapeutic relationship can last for years and can be a vulnerable process. I want to be the right fit for you as well. Even if I'm not the person for you, I am still here to help. I am currently available for individual therapy sessions as well as to perform court ordered/legally mandated Substance Abuse Evaluations. Evaluations consist of a 1.5-2 hour clinical interview and communication with all necessary third parties (attorney, employer, etc.). Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

In my 25 years of practice, I have evolved a number of specializations:couples therapy; women's issues;dealing with anxiety and depression--including post-partum depression; and facing the challenges of pregnancy loss and infertility. I have had extensive post-graduate training in couples therapy and have developed a lively and effective way of helping couples in distress get "unstuck" and move into a more satisfying and respectful relationship with one another.

Finding the right therapist is crucial for a great psychotherapy experience. And while you may usually handle life's challenges well unexpected stress, anxiety, depression, or navigating difficult relationships can be confusing and overwhelming. I'm not one of those therapists who just listens and nods. My proven approach is characterized by warmth and supportiveness and is grounded in evidence-based treatment modalities, critical thinking, and unwavering confidentiality. With over 15 years of clinical experience, I'm here to help you uncover the root of your issues and guide you towards confidence and clarity for a brighter future.

It takes courage to contact a psychologist for help. I make every effort to offer you a nonthreatening and comfortable environment to help you learn and grow and feel better. I draw from several orientations but emphasize cognitive behavioral techniques because of their efficacy for a wide variety of problems. I am active in the session and believe psychotherapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. I will tailor my treatment specifically to you. I believe every patient is unique and requires a specialized approach.

Life can be highly complex, with obstacles overwhelming the healthiest of minds. The decision to seek counseling is often not an easy one. Successful therapy is more than the absence of symptoms or issues, it is a life enriched with increased self-awareness/compassion/empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenging restrictive/limiting beliefs/behaviors, and grow toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there's true and honest connections with others, but more importantly within oneself. Finding and using your "inner voice" is often the key needed to begin meaningful change.

Do you ever feel torn, like you’re yearning to move forward yet frozen in time? Together, we'll unravel these conflicting emotions so you can move toward a life of greater meaning and fulfillment. I support those who feel isolated, trapped, or struggling to fit within societal norms. I also help members of the LGBTQ+ community to navigate challenges of marginalization and identity. These feelings are often rooted in past trauma and could potentially lead to substance use, addiction, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders in young adult, adult and aging populations. I have a certificate in aging as well as training in loss and bereavement.

We all have potential to be great friends, romantic partners, family members, or workers. But we all encounter roadblocks such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and other stressors that impact our mental health, which can make it more difficult to engage these roles in the way we'd want. Sometimes we feel lost as to how to maneuver around these roadblocks. I want you to know that you don't have to walk this path alone. In working together, we will focus on developing the skills to help you overcome these roadblocks, so that you can be the person you truly want to be.

Clients who benefit from working with me are struggling with anxiety, depression, and poor self-esteem. My clients are hoping to build self-awareness and learn to trust themselves and their emotions. A client's commitment to therapy is a powerful and far-reaching one, and the best gift that a person can give themselves. Clients in therapy with me can hope to gain more depth in their relationships and find greater meaning in work, school, artistic pursuits, and community.

Today can be a new beginning. Have you been struggling, but also longing to live an authentic and more fulfilling life? What you have lived has built you in both challenging and beautiful ways. I believe our experiences can be a source of strength, but can also impact a person’s emotional well-being, self-esteem, and relationships. Therapy help you gain clarity on your values and goals, regulate your emotions, and reconnect with your authentic self. As a therapist, it is my honor to work with individuals to create a safe space to explore their concerns, as well as issues that may be holding them back.

Is your child able to regulate their emotions? Are you "butting heads" with your child? As a former educator and now a licensed social worker I can help navigate these struggles. I work with children ages 4-13 by using Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) using play and skills. In addition I work with parents on developing a strong relationship between child and parents

Have you reached a crossroads in life where it feels difficult to move forward? Are you facing challenges from an illness, disability, or chronic pain? Isolation? Financial stress? Or just the inevitability of aging? I can assure you that no matter the circumstances, you can bring hope, joy, meaning, and human connection back into your life. Often, people who face difficult situations feel overwhelmed and hopeless. They pull away from friends and family. They feel little pleasure in activities they had enjoyed in the past. And sometimes they fall into habits that hurt themselves or others.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own values and strengths. You deserve to live a life that brings you meaning and purpose. My ideal client is ready to make change happen on our journey together. They are looking to heal and become a more empowered version of themselves. They are open to the process. This client may be looking to heal from past trauma/grief, looking for a way to move forward freely, and/or looking to find purpose/meaning.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, loneliness, conflict, feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or navigating a significant life change; times of overwhelm, pain and uncertainty have the potential to be transformational. As a licensed social worker, certified teacher of mindfulness and compassion practices, certified life & success coach, and RYT-200, I’m committed to helping you integrate all emotions, while reclaiming your power, freedom, and more moments of joy.
