Female Therapists in Shrewsbury, NJ

Finding a therapist is a profoundly personal way to begin the process of addressing whatever problem, obstacle or issue you're facing. It's my belief that it's not that you have "issues", but rather how you respond to them that's important. I am committed to working together to find an approach that's right for you with the ultimate goal of helping you find better ways of coping with the inevitable obstacles we all face--in life, relationships, careers, personal goals, crises, destructive patterns of behavior--and the list goes on.

Mom, Dad or guardian: Have you been struggling to find great help for your young child or teen? Is your 4 year old struggling at school, not getting along with others or having trouble managing emotions? Is your middle school girl shutting down, or your teenage boy acting out? You have come to the right place! I can help your family regulate back to "normal". I provide both individual and group therapy which target these issues at the source. I provide a safe, modern and fun space for children and teens to heal & play. Parents who I have worked with have felt the change in their lives, starting with their child.

Are you looking to make changes in your life? Do you engage in substance abuse or other negative habits that lead to anxiety and depression leaving you sad and without coping skills? Often your own habits are obstacles that sabotage change. Learning how to overcome these obstacles and make positive changes in your life is what therapy is all about. You will discover things about yourself that have kept you from experiencing the quality of life that you deserve. Talk therapy along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be the journey you need to take as you learn to live a more positive, fulfilling life.

"It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work... when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey." (Wendell Berry)

Thank you for visiting my page! I am therapist who graduated from Monmouth University’s Master's of Social Work Program with a concentration in Clinical Practice with Children and Families. I work with a variety of populations, with a specialization in teenagers and young adults. I strive to provide a safe and encouraging environment that promotes understanding, acceptance and personal growth. I aim to incorporate my knowledge of childhood and adolescent milestones into my practice to address issues such as anxiety, depression, gender and sexuality.

Life can be stressful and complicated! And getting started on your therapy journey can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be! Being collaborative with each client, so you feel comfortable and educated throughout your therapy journey is so important to me. I believe that your overall wellbeing is impacted by the accumulation of the quality of your physical and mental health, as well as the environment you surround yourself with. I believe in focusing on your overall wellbeing, not simply on your mental health.

Hi! Nice to "meet" you. My role as a therapist is to help you navigate through life's transitions. My therapeutic goal with clients is to provide that safe space to work through life’s troubles. When a time comes where problems are interfering with your capacity to function properly, therapy can be a great help. I believe that therapy can be the gateway from the life you currently live to the life you want to live. Acknowledging that we are human and we do not always get it right or know all of the answers is a sign of strength and willingness to grow.

Life events are sometimes beyond our control. We can only change the way we cope with it, the way we view it and what we choose to learn from it. In a comfortable and supportive environment, I can provide you with the tools you need to thrive. I treat anxiety, depression, as well as many other symptoms and disorders that affect people for all different reasons. Whether it is a relationship, life transition, illness, loss or other life circumstance, together we can make great changes.

Do you find it difficult to quiet your mind or slow down your thoughts? Are you experiencing intense emotions, feeling out of control, or easily becoming frustrated and overwhelmed? Have you experienced a traumatic event and are struggling with heightened anxiety, intrusive memories, or feelings of disconnect from the world around you?

“Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” (Margaret Mead) I value my unique abilities to help you see yours. Through a nontraditional background I have become a therapist who values diversity in life and through those unique qualities that you possess I well help you establish your form of happiness. Starting my career as a teacher, I have been able to understand how educators can support unique learners in the classroom. Through my training as a educational specialist, I have been able to help support diverse learners through advocacy and bringing understanding and empathy to the forefront.

In a world where we value being a human “doing” rather then human “being” it can feel hard to survive let alone thrive. Therapy can be the place where you learn to hone new coping strategies, improve your sense of self worth and cultivate healthy boundaries. It is said if we live in the past we live in sadness, if we live in the future we live in worry but if we live in the now we live in peace.

I have been working in behavioral health for over 25 years. Exposure to multiple settings, diagnoses and treatment modalities has afforded me the benefit of gathering an eclectic and holistic approach to psychotherapy. My goal is to provide each client with an unique and collaborative treatment plan in order to respect the complexity and character of each individual. I am an honest and empathic clinician invested in helping provide others with emotional support and the knowledge to make better decisions.

I have been the leading provider of socialization groups for children with ADHD, Anxiety, and Autistic Spectrum Disorder in Monmouth County for the past 20 years. Every child can learn ways to interact positively with other children. By using a combination of play therapy, dance/movement therapy, and cognitive-behavioral strategies in the groups, children learn to be successful with their peers. I offer individual counseling sessions on parenting issues and for those children that need help with selective mutism, anxiety, and specific behavior issues not applicable to the group situation.
