Anxiety Therapists in Lawrenceville, NJ

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or the loss of a loved one with a sense of feeling lost, hopeless, and without purpose? Are you struggling with life transitions & open to delving deeper to explore those issues? I primarily work with men like this, who have arrived at this point in life feeling "stuck" or "at a dead end," struggling with relationship issues and feeling disconnected & frustrated. My job is to help you re-negotiate your relationship with your feelings, see you as okay, and understand the meaning of your upbringing or narratives you've learned on "how you ought to be."

An ideal client for a mental health professional would be an individual with a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc., who demonstrates the motivation to change and improve their well-being. This client should be committed to attending therapy sessions regularly, keeping appointments, and actively engaging in the therapeutic process to manage or overcome their diagnosis.

I then earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health from Rider University, with a concentration in adolescent and young adult mental health.

I am a passionate and devoted advocate for mental health. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I aim to help clients through challenges and always approach therapy and the therapeutic relationship from a position of empathy and understanding. I believe that all clients have a unique life story and that it is within this story that healing begins. Using a client-centered approach, my goal is to be a fellow traveler with you through whatever unique challenges or problems present themselves.

Are you not feeling or functioning the way you used to? Are you having trouble explaining what you're feeling to others? Has someone told you that you could use some help and support? I am helpful with the process of entering therapy because I respect the significance of that decision and see it as an opportunity for positive change.

Worried moms & frazzled dads, look no further! Maybe your child is anxious, sad, angry, or acting out. You've tried empathy, rewards, punishments, extra attention, special privileges. You've read books, consulted parenting blogs, & asked other parents for advice. Whatever you try, it may even work for a few days but then all the old problems come right back. Maybe your boy wants to dress like a girl and it's freaking you out. Maybe your teen declares "I'm queer"--what does that even mean? Let's add the stress of the pandemic and you're exhausted, frustrated, and worried about your child's future.

"I'm unhappy and I don't know why or what to do..." Do thoughts like this make you feel as if you are in a personal stalemate? Well, you are not alone. I hear these words in my practice from people like you, grappling with the challenges of everyday life. Together we can customize an approach just for you to turn those difficult, confusing times in your life toward positive opportunities and fresh perspectives. There is hope and help.

Feeling sad, overwhelmed and anxious? Stressed in your relationships? Struggling with children or adolescents, perhaps taking care of elder adults or someone with special needs? Life can be challenging. There may be days when you're able to solve one problem only to have three more appear. Families are constantly shifting with the culture. Although change can be a good thing, it may feel too fast, creating fear and anxiety. When life becomes too difficult to manage and when there are regular and unresolved conflicts among family members it may be time to seek help and gain perspective.

Are you hesitant to talk with family and friends about about the issues that are bothering you? Have you tried confiding in those close to you about your struggles,and still feel out of control, overwhelmed, or discouraged? If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, relationship issues, or life transitions, I would like to help you. I believe it is important to have someone you can confide in and trust to help you feel better and cope with the challenges you are facing. I believe it so strongly that I have made it my life's work.

You have had days that make you feel like switching off the sun, crawling underneath your skin, and checking out from this catastrophic cantankerous world. You have been emotionally shipwrecked by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and you feel broken beyond repair. Yesterday was too much, today you're drowning in the sea of despair; and, tomorrow should not see the light of day. Existing feels like too much to ask, survival seems impossible, and you're thinking, "I can't do this..." Maybe you can't, but we can, and we will. You may feel alone, but you are not alone. You may sway and bend, but you will never break.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your quest for a more fulfilling life. According to Dr. Oz, 60% of women feel lonely or isolated, which leads to depression and anxiety.

I believe life is a series of obstacles upon which we have the freedom to learn, change and grow. I welcome the opportunity to team with you as we unlock your true potential.
