Marriage Counseling Therapists in Ocean County, NJ
When addressing anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns, two crucial components come into play: what clients are feeling and where they aspire to be. As a therapist, my aim is to help clients reach their desired goals. To achieve this, I explore their childhood experiences, any past traumas, and uncomfortable situations. This forms the foundation upon which we can either leave the past behind or accept it as it is, moving forward with a customized treatment plan.

Clients seeking treatment typically aim for a reduction in distressing symptoms linked to substance use, whether it's through total abstinence or a harm reduction approach. These goals are often centered on improving their personal life, reducing interpersonal relationship issues, and effectively processing and moving forward from traumatic experiences. I can help clients manage symptoms related to co-occurring disorders and work towards reducing those symptoms for a more balanced and healthier life.

I have a passion for finding humor even in tough situations, and laughter is a key part of my life. What I cherish most in my work is witnessing those "aha" moments where individuals gain clarity and grow towards their goals. Helping people recognize their potential and self-worth has been my focus for over twenty years as I support them through mental health and life challenges. For me, it's crucial to keep learning and growing alongside them.

Family Needs: Family needs are Love, Sense of Belonging, Mutual respect, and Shared communication. The family wants harmonious relationships through mutual respect and communication. The lack of these qualities in the home have caused strife in the family, to the point where it becomes maladaptive. The family wants qualitative relationships with one another. They want their relationships to be positive, meaningful and purposeful. They want and need this because the family unit is interconnected. There is a symbiotic relationship amongst all family members.
