Therapists in East Windsor, NJ

My supportive and thoughtful approach to psychotherapy involves helping clients to take a look at themselves and their choices to determine whether their personal styles are working for them. In this way, clients become more aware of how they relate to others and how to make healthy choices to reduce and better manage stress, improve mood, and enhance relationships. Identifying maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, and making changes in those patterns, helps people to live more rewarding and satisfying lives. Therapy is a process in which people learn to live more adaptively and with more personal fulfillment.

You are struggling with life crisis issues, grief, relationship conflict or divorce and are looking for a compassionate and non-judgmental clinician. In my twenty-five years experience with individuals and couples I maintain a solution oriented, psychotherapeutic setting in which insights are formed and behaviors changed. You will find me down to earth and easy to talk with and in my sensitive approach there is the wisdom and the strength to help you face your life's challenges.

With post graduate training in marriage and family therapy, I have spent the past 20 years working in the mental health and substance abuse fields. I find it particularly rewarding to help adolescent and teenage girls who often struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, school, and peer issues. My training and experience have prepared me to work with individuals, couples and families throughout the lifespan. Due to my background in marriage and family therapy, even when working with individuals, I find it helpful to gather information about family history to utilize in therapy.

I want you to have the best life imaginable: to live in a body that can feel what it feels and with a mind that can know what it knows. I believe we heal through connection and relationship; it is how we survive then thrive. Sometimes we need to make meaning of our experiences; sometimes we just want to manage or reduce unwanted symptoms and sometimes we need someone to simply be present- to sit and witness and listen or hold the silence. I hope you will find all these elements working with me and together we will walk the path to healing. Come in and let's explore together!

Life can sometimes present challenges that leave us feeling helpless and stressed. Choosing a therapist to help you manage these feelings is the necessary first step in exploring ways to improve your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of experience. I offer a supportive and interactive environment where my clients feel safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.

Telemedicine Available. Do you find yourself struggling with addiction or relationship concerns? One of the hardest things for people to do is admit that they need help getting through challenging circumstances in their lives. Together we will focus on identifying problems, creating goals and objectives to help guide the therapeutic process. I hope that, once our time has concluded, you will feel confident using the skills you have learned to overcome obstacles you may encounter moving forward.

I do not believe in the idea of an "ideal client". I believe that every client is unique in their own way. They come to session with their own issues, needs, and goals. As a counselor, I feel that it is my job to make sure that their concerns are adequately addressed and that their needs and goals are met.
