Therapists in New Brunswick, NJ

The primitive brain can take over, when it does we can be harsh on ourselves and carry feelings like an anchor. When one area of our life is off, it impacts others areas like a leaky faucet too slow to notice and life begins to flood. We know to swim to survive but don't think float to save our energy. This struggle leads to exhaustion and a series of emotions that create new issues. Hurt people; hurt people. Becoming present & reflecting, leads to peace. If we could take a step back to see what needs solving? Things are not black and white, there is a lot of gray in between; things can co-exist. www.mindfulmindscounseling.com

"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it"- This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day off because it is so true. Things happen to us throughout our lifetime that make us feel stuck, worthless, guilty, shamed, and like we are never enough. These ideas about ourselves dictate the way we learn, how we do in school and work, and how we love and connect to others. When someone has experienced trauma, these thoughts and feelings can be even more extreme which can cause significant distress. Growth and Empowerment is accepting new clients!

As an experienced licensed clinical social worker, I offer a safe, compassionate space for you to be seen and heard to become the person you aspire to be and feel better. I help free up parts that trouble you or cause you to feel stuck. I can also help you tune into what your body knows, which can allow you to process and regulate energy held by trauma. I begin by helping you clarify your goals and dreams and then facilitate your way forward as you access your strengths. Some of the areas I can help you with are anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, LGBTQ+, self-esteem, identity, adoption, spirituality, and transitions.

Anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction can be enormously challenging. They are often intertwined with physical issues and can disrupt lives, including the lives of the people around them. As a therapist with over 30 years of experience I can share the good news that healing is possible when given the right care. My expertise is helping people with complex issues get strong and move beyond the their past. I offer a deeply compassionate, non-judgmental presence, so clients can feel safe, hopeful and heal. My experience as clinical director, clinician and supervisor allow me to bring you the highest level of evidenced based care.

A profound near-death experience sparked my search for meaning and purpose in life, and has inspired me to guide others on their own journey toward healing and transformation. I specialize in working with the highly-sensitive person–those who feel everything strongly, but may be unsure of how to manage those emotions. Anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and relationship issues are just some of what we can experience when we are out of alignment with our True Self. We may turn to all sorts of distractions, unhealthy relationships or addictions, to cope with what is fundamentally a feeling of discomfort within our own skin.

As your therapist, I will provide a warm, inviting, and empathic space where you can explore every aspect of yourself. I will encourage you to come from a place of curiosity rather than judgment when reflecting on your experiences. I have experience supporting adults and teens coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflict, gender identity exploration or navigating the complexities of life.

Are you feeling lonely, stuck, or uncertain on how to heal from past trauma, relieve anxious thoughts, or work through relationship challenges? You are not alone, and I can help you move past the barriers that are holding you back so you can feel like your best & authentic self again. I have close to 15 years of experience working as a therapist treating anxiety, depression, trauma, & relationship difficulties and currently have practices in NY, NJ, Florida, & Arizona. My focus in therapy is to create a safe & warm environment for us to collaborate on your treatment goals together.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Life can be challenging, and navigating life after surviving trauma or during a major transition can be especially difficult. As women, we tend to internalize our struggles for the sake of caring for others, often putting our needs on the back burner. As a result, we leave ourselves vulnerable to these issues negatively impacting our lives in many ways, such as our physical health, emotional balance and our relationships with co-workers, intimate partners and even ourselves. My therapeutic approach is focused on empowering women to overcome these personal struggles and improve the quality of their lives, relationships and careers.

If you are hurting, feeling lost, going through difficult life transitions, experiencing mental health issues, among other things; change is possible! Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary or unattainable. It can be fun and exciting to discover yourself! Sometimes people just need a little help and motivation to realize that they are capable of reaching their upmost potential.
