Existential Therapists in Point Pleasant, NJ

Are you feeling like you'll never feel better? Anxiety and stress can be vicious self-feeding cycles that can build very rapidly unless we know ways to work with them. With over 20 years experience, I've helped many people feel less anxious & overwhelmed so they can sleep better, work more confidently, & live from a more joyful place. And, I truly believe that asking for help isn’t a weakness at all, it’s actually a sign of strength. I offer an integrative approach to my counseling sessions for those who are looking for a more holistic, encompassing approach where I can blend in energy techniques & spirituality, if desired.

Addiction and mental health disorders are often misunderstood. I believe in meeting my clients where they are and empowering awareness and meaningful change. There isn't a one size fits all approach and I use various techniques to meet unique needs of each individual. Successful treatment involves education and support. I have worked in a variety of settings over the past 20 years including hospital based programs, day programs, residential treatment programs, outpatient treatment programs, and within the criminal justice system.
