Female Therapists in Ledgewood, NJ

Life is filled with obstacles of all different shapes and sizes which often leave us feeling worn down emotionally; oftentimes, when this happens, what we need the most is someone that will listen to us without judgment and that will allow us to feel safe. I believe that when a client is able to connect with a therapist and genuinely feels respected and supported, the client is able to start to make progress on their journey and positive changes start to blossom.

I have served as an agent of change for families and couples for 30 years. As a consultant, I provide options for clients to engage in moments and experiences that offer reflection and presence in areas that clients may feel alone, abandoned, lack of safety, and devalued. I provide a safe and open environment where each individual and couple can risk reaching within and/or with their significant other in identifying areas in need of healing and repair. Whether it is improving in school, work, or with significant other, it is an opportunity in participating in the possibilities.

Is it challenging to feel joy in your life? Is it hard to navigate daily stressors and feel present? Do you struggle to enjoy relationships with others? Have you lost touch with yourself, or feel disconnected? Do you find yourself stuck in thoughts and feelings about negative events from your past? Maybe you’ve answered yes to some of these questions. If so, I am here to offer support as you navigate these complexities. I partner with clients to build upon existing strengths and enact change you seek in your life. Every person is unique and I will work with you to find an approach to therapy that feels right.
