My clients have described my sessions as non-judgmental, empathetic, a safe space, engaging, consistent, fun & the list goes on.

How we perceive something will directly impact our emotional and behavioral responses. Learning to understand the process of perception will offer ongoing opportunities for an individual to enact change in his or her life. In my practice, I draw from my intensive training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to teach these fundamental skills to clients and help them to achieve their goals.

I believe our minds have the capability and desire for healing; the therapeutic relationship is key to open the door for growth to begin. Over time, the client becomes more in tune with themselves, their patterns, behaviors, and ways they would like to improve their life. Together with the client, we discover tools that empower them to become their best selves using both evidenced-based strategies and an understanding of their unique self.

I have been working as a therapist for over 20 years. I've been teaching at Rutgers since 2007. I'm a recently retired Army veteran and I've been sober since 1995. While I absolutely care about how you think and feel, I help people cut down on their damaging behaviors while increasing their positive behaviors. We work together on identify the negative people in your life and setting boundaries. There is often a lot of laughter in sessions, even in the midst of difficult times. I've been in the news a lot over the years because of my work in the military, substance misuse, government and Rutgers. A simple Google search tells a lot.

I am flexible in my approach as each person may benefit from a different style. However, I'm particularly interested in how the past plays a part in our current day experiences, and how we may free ourselves of unwanted (internal or external) burdens when we can understand their origin. Whether your goal is to dive into a specific issue or topic, or if you need general support as you navigate lifestyle adjustments, I aim to guide my clients in building a more authentic connection within themselves and the world around them.

In the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families in a therapeutic partnership. Making the decision to focus on oneself and start working with a therapist can be life-changing and I applaud you for taking the time to focus on yourself. Therapy can be enlightening and help create positive and lasting changes. But it can also be intimidating when starting this process. This is why the therapeutic relationship is so important. As a therapist, it is my goal to work with you to help you unlock your greatness and move past any barriers that are holding you back.

I’ve spent my whole life in search of an understanding of myself, other people, and the systems around me. I have studied biology, religion, psychology, energy medicine, shamanic healing, holistic healing, and natural health. Healing comes by creating connections across all these systems in all time and space. While studying family systems theory, I’ve found explanations for the unhealthy patterns in my own family. I’ve often felt alone, misunderstood, and stuck in life. When I connected feelings in my body to past trauma, my past, and the past of my culture and its systems, I could make life-changing shifts.

I like to take a casual, comfortable, and collaborative approach to therapy. I enjoy taking time to get to know who you are, your approach to life, and what really matters to you. I'm known for incorporating humor when appropriate - therapy can be difficult, but who says it has to be boring? I have significant experience working with adults presenting with various mental health symptoms, substance use disorders, relationship conflict, trauma, and stressors. I hold extensive experience working with individuals (and loved ones) struggling and recovering from substance use disorders.

I use several different styles of therapy. First I like to use the Client-Centered approach to meet and get to know the client, create a treatment plan, and goals based on their needs and wants, and build rapport. Secondly, I use the psychodynamic approach to help the client figure out where their unwanted thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are coming from so that we can begin to uncover their origins and get to the heart of the issues. I use Motivational Interviewing to help the client process their thoughts and emotions so they can better understand themselves.
