Hello, I am a licensed associate counselor in the State of New Jersey. As your counselor, we work together in the helping relationship model to improve your quality of life by improving your relationship with yourself and the world around you. I believe a holistic approach to counseling provides a deeper understanding of the whole person. In session, I use several psychotherapeutic techniques based on various theoretical approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and skills based in mindfulness and play therapy.

I specialize in helping patients that are dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma related issues. Worry, fear and bad memories often interfere with a person’s daily life. These problems can be very stressful and can affect a person’s social relationships, work performance, and self esteem. These individuals often turn to maladaptive coping strategies such as drugs and/or alcohol to find relief. I work with these patients to help them manage life difficulties and heal from past trauma in order to learn new ways of thinking and coping.

With clients dealing with any issues whether that may be anxiety, depression or family problems, I like to use a person centered approach to build rapport with that client to make them feel comfortable in what may be a very uncomfortable time for them. The client's I work with who are successful are motivated for treatment and willing to focus on the positive re-framing and restructuring of their negative and intrusive thoughts.
