Therapists in Maplewood, NJ
Everyday you get up, you get dressed, and you try to pretend like you are okay. You show up for your partner, your kids, and your job, but inside you are questioning everything you do. Constantly you compare yourself to others and you wish that you could just feel good enough. There are things you want to do, but you can’t seem to make a decision and move forward. So you stay stuck and feel like a failure that you can’t be the best version of yourself. Women are particularly good at pushing themselves to do more, be more, and give more. It is hard to take care of yourself and create space to unpack your thoughts and emotions.

Therapy is a collaborative process that hinges on a relationship of trust and understanding. I offer my clients a warm, supportive and non-judgmental space where together we can explore and resolve whatever challenges you may be experiencing. Many of us have developed adaptations to our environments which may result in patterns and behaviors that no longer serve us. The work of therapy is to examine these adaptions with compassion and explore opportunities for growth and change.

Are you or a young person you know struggling to navigate life's difficulties and transitions? Maybe you or they are also trying to do this thing we call life while managing mental health concerns, difficult family or peer relationships, school stressors, and/or any other number of problems making it all that much more difficult. If any of this sounds familiar, you have probably tried many possible solutions to make things better. I believe the best path to your "better" lies with you. Often a validating, safe space for exploring thoughts/emotions and developing skills for coping and change is the missing piece to your puzzle.

The journey toward self-discovery and true fulfillment can be profound. To navigate this path successfully, we often require both a witness and a supporter that can assist us in developing a loving and accepting relationship with our true selves. Reaching the end of this journey allows us to chart our course with confidence, and enjoy the life we’ve always wanted.
