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.

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.

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.
