Therapists in East Brunswick, NJ

I am a bilingual licensed clinical social worker with a private practice in East Windsor, NJ. I conduct therapy sessions in English and Spanish. Specializing in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, my focus here is twofold: childhood sexual abuse (victims and nonoffending parents) and eating/weight problems. I also work with individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family issues, stage of life issues, and sexuality issues. I work with people of all ages: children (6-12), preteens (11-13), adolescents/teenagers (14-19), adults (20 and older), and older adults (65 and older).

I specialize in helping clients alleviate pervasive symptoms in order to develop a greater sense of self-worth and adequacy, construct nurturing relationships, and develop and achieve goals to work toward a healthy and happy life experience. Using the highly efficacious Schema Therapy model, clients learn to eliminate maladaptive coping responses by changing the beliefs (schemas) that drive them. Seeing my clients transform their lives, achieve personal development and reach true empowerment has been one of my greatest joys.

People are so sick of holding their tongue, wearing costumes, and being inauthentic when navigating social relations. To me, therapy is a place to say the thing and acknowledge the parts of us that many won’t see or hear. The freedom that follows from that experience alone can make all the difference. My hope for our therapeutic relationship is to make space for all of that and more.
