Therapists in Hackettstown, NJ

Now accepting in-person and virtual clients! As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), It is my mission to cultivate an empathetic and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can flourish. While the core of my experience is focused on adolescents I am passionate about working with adults of various ages and backgrounds. My dedication is particularly focused on working with ADHD/ADD, autism, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief, as well as struggles with identity, values, and meaning.

Now accepting in-person and virtual clients! I am glad you are here. Taking the step to seek psychotherapy can be hard. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming space to adolescents and adults dealing with issues varying from trauma, depression, grief, bipolar, stress due to life transitions, anxiety, OCD, and more. I use a person-centered approach to the meet the needs and goals of each client. I utilize therapeutic treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and psycho-education. I strongly believe there is no one size fits all approach.

Welcome, and congratulations on your decision to explore therapy today! I believe that you already know many of the answers to the questions life has presented you with. I am pleased to offer an alternative focus informed by conventional training to help you thrive as you continue along on this journey called life.

Accepting new clients! I am here to help. I utilize a holistic approach in working with clients, which encompasses components of cognitive behavior theory, trauma-informed interventions, positive behavioral supports and solution-focused methods. I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a safe environment for clients to feel validated, understood, and more capable of moving forward through life’s challenges. Clinical areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, loss/grief, parenting, life transitions, relationship issues, school avoidance, LGBTQ community, and learning disabilities.

Everyone faces challenges in their life, and sometimes those challenges feel overwhelming and impossible to take on. I believe we all have the strength to overcome those challenges, but sometimes we might need help finding that strength during difficult times. In a safe and supportive environment, we will work together to find your hidden strengths, overcome challenges, and foster positive and meaningful change. As a Licensed Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents and adults struggling with diverse challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress management, life transitions, and anger management.

Sometimes thoughts and feelings can interfere with our daily activities. While we cannot change the past, we can take positive actions in the present to guide us into the future. I work with children, teens, and adults to help them identify and remove negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that act as obstacles to a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. My aim is to develop a trusting relationship in order to explore life events that may be negatively impacting us and find ways to adapt, change, or accept those events.

Accepting new clients! As a Licensed Associate Counselor, I am passionate about helping individuals work through a variety of different mental health concerns. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, stressors of daily life and adjustments, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, co-occurring substance use, and sociocultural issues faced by marginalized communities. I follow a humanistic perspective in which I emphasize the therapeutic relationship we will build together and incorporate techniques from dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

I am interested in identifying and drawing on your inherent strengths-believing we all have our own answers but sometimes need help uncovering them. I love working with people who want to change, who want to look at meaning and develop an ability to connect with greater purpose--to others, to work, to the world itself. I can help with anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors (i.e., substances, food, work), life transitions, work issues, mid-life and other challenging experiences, including grief and relationship issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 11+ years clinical experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. I can help foster positive growth in your life, help you see that change really is possible, and that there is always hope. Life is difficult and we all have problems. Some problems are so relentless and overwhelming that we need professional help. I aim to create a safe environment where the individuals and families I work with feel heard, nurtured, and confident.

For over 20 years I've been committed to helping individuals find hope in their lives. In these complicated times, we are often burdened by stress, worries, sadness, and a lack of a sense of meaning in life. We experience problems in our families and relationships, finances, and employment. Life can hit us with loss, grief, loneliness, illness, and trauma. All this sounds difficult, I know, but there is good news--there is hope. We can heal, we can start over again, with a new attitude, new choices, new behaviors and a new plan. Let me walk with you on your journey of healing.

Welcome to your safe space. You deserve a space to slow down, be present, and connect with your mind + body. Obtaining the tools, and learning how to create a space for yourself and your emotions can be difficult. Therapy can be that place for you. My goal is to help you unpack what’s going on. Rather, you and I together will be able to process life experiences and development, that allow you to become more curious and aware of the unconscious processes that could be contributing to other areas of your life. As your empathetic guide, I will help you in your journey towards self-understanding and self-acceptance.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. I work toward providing an atmosphere of respect, support, trust and caring which can lead to a greater potential for self understanding, healing, relief and the opportunity to see and make different choices. In private practice for over 20 years, I have a varied practice, working with individuals, couples and families with a wide range of difficulties. Areas of particular specialty include working with those who have experienced trauma, relational difficulties, anxiey, depression, and issues of childhood and adolescence.

I, along with everyone at Center for Assessment and Treatment, hope to help those who are among the most in need, regardless of income, background, or past history.
