Humanistic Therapists in Florham Park, NJ

It can be difficult to reach out and ask for help. But therapy does not have to be hard or painful, it is simply part of a journey to help us live a more balanced and joyful life. Whether it's coping with heightened emotional stress or anxiety, navigating through major life changes, addressing concerns related to substance use, LGBTQ +, or simply seeking personal growth, I will work with you in a kind, non-judgemental, supportive manner to meet you where you are and assist you in overcoming the challenges you face.

I view counseling as a holistic and individual developmental process. Each individual that enters my office brings character and strengths as well as stressors and challenges. To me, it is important that together we build a trusting relationship that allows you to feel heard and validated. Having worked in both clinical and non-clinical settings, I have worked with a multitude of clients and have fostered a unique and special relationship with each, be-it child, adolescent or adult. Through our journey together, we will build upon the fundamentals of counseling: trust, communication, transparency and empowerment.
