Person-Centered Therapists in Haddon Heights, NJ

I have been practicing in the field for ten years. I have a person centered approach to therapy, mixed with cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and Gestalt therapy when it is called for. I do mental health counseling, addiction counseling, couples counseling, individual counseling, and marriage and family counseling. I see clients of all ages from children to senior citizens. As we have to continue to change and adapt to a new way of counseling, I am including tele therapy in my practice.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. Using evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy, I aim to empower you with the tools and insights needed to achieve personal growth and resilience. Together, we will work on setting realistic goals, building coping strategies, and fostering a deeper understanding of yourself.

In private practice I utilize evidenced-based approaches to provide services. These interventions include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy.

I love working with people who are motivated, dedicated, curious about improving their mental health and maintaining their mental health.

My treatment philosophy is deeply rooted in celebrating neurodiversity and creating an environment where children and families are empowered to live authentically.

My intention is to support people in living a life that honors their highest good. To that end I work with clients to identify core belief systems and behaviors that interefere with this goal. Together we discover how and why they developed these now dysfunctional life patterns. I assist them in developing new, self-nurturing coping skills and most importantly encourage them to embrace themselves with unconditional love and compassion. I have extensive experience working with issues regarding compulsive eating, bariatric surgery, life transitions, anxiety, depression and end of life.
