Therapists for Teens in Morristown, NJ

I am a licensed therapist & clinical supervisor with 16+ years of experience in working with those struggling with eating disorders & co occurring mental health struggles. Now more than ever, it is easy to feel stressed, alone and misunderstood. I work with my clients to address feelings of anxiety, depression, low self esteem, & most recently difficulties with the pandemic and feelings of isolation. You have the power to help yourself and my goal is to help you get there. My work involves identifying the areas in your life that may require change or improvement, and guiding you there with encouragement & accountability.

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.

My target populations are children, adolescents, and young adults. I am passionate about assisting these individuals to overcome struggles that commonly occur within these periods of development such as anxiety, depression, mood regulation, stress management, adjustment, school avoidance, and oppositional defiance. I help my clients to develop coping skills, build resilience, and engage in social skills training. I take into account the frequent co-morbidity between the aforementioned concerns and diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and other various Learning/Developmental Disabilities.

Having worked in numerous and diverse mental health facilities with people of all ages, including group home, long-term inpatient, adult/partial hospital outpatient, I use a modern psychoanalytic approach in my practice for treating symptoms pertaining to today's mental health challenges. Following the contact while working with a person’s transference and resistances, helps to develop a treatment alliance while fostering a strong therapeutic relationship.

It is a privilege and honor to work in the field of mental health and wellness. I have the utmost respect for the individuals and families with whom I work.

Life can be hard and full of strife, especially when you feel alone. But we are not meant to walk through life alone, wondering if our experiences are normal, and unsure of ourselves. Whether you are an experienced therapy goer or have no idea what therapy is or does, we all have dealt with things that have felt insurmountable, feelings that are unshakable, and problems that seem impossible to tackle. My view on therapy is that it is a systemic way we can address the issues you face in your life and relationships by collaborating to understand them, how they affect you, and what you would like to be different..

Sometimes, words are not enough, or there simply are no words, to express a feeling or an experience... when we create we are transported to a place full of endless possibilities... a place that is safe, where we can explore memories, feelings and ideas. My goal is to assist you, or your child, through the use of Art Therapy, towards self-expression, healing and life-enhancement. Art Therapy knows no boundaries. It reaches people of all ages, with all abilities, from all backgrounds and cultures. Art Therapy can benefit everyone!

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.

Working as a clinical therapist, business executive, startup founder, and coach over the past 12 years, I combine effective somatic coaching and therapeutic skills, wisdom, and perspective gained from my own healing journey.

As a clinical psychologist, I work to help individuals and families overcome their obstacles to achieving emotional and physical well- being.. Your anxiety and depression or other psychological problems are treated in the context of an empathic and personal therapeutic relationship.These disorders present differently at different life stages and need age/stage related attention. As a female clinician, I have developed an expertise working with women's issues throughout the life cycle. As a former teacher and school psychologist, I am also experienced in working with children and adolescents with the variety of concerns they may present.

I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits.
