Therapists in South River, NJ

Hello and welcome! Whether you are an individual looking for counseling or you are a couple interested in relationship counseling, I would love to help. I offer counseling to adolescents and adults on anxiety, depression, identity and self-esteem issues. My expertise is DBT - a therapeutic approach enhancing insight, which is particularly useful for people diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality. I also have an extensive background in working with children and families using the Nurtured Heart approach and I offer couples counseling using the Prepare Enrich method.

I have always believed my purpose in life has been to be an advocate and voice for others who would otherwise remain silent and unheard. Counseling has allowed me to fulfill that purpose for my clients and throughout my professional career, I have provided compassionate counseling services in varied social service settings. I am an experienced, dedicated and insightful mental healthcare professional with over 25 years experience in both individual, family and group counseling. My experiences are broad and cover academic and career counseling which evolved into job coaching for young to older adults from many walks of life.

First and foremost, I commend you on making this decision for yourself and your mental health. Therapy is a bridge that is meant to help others achieve emotional peace in their life. This process is never easy, but my belief is that we are all worth the effort in living a life where we feel emotionally grounded, safe, and secure. Your stress and worries are always valid, and therefore you deserve an outlet, just for you.

I will help you develop coping skills to manage symptoms of fear, depression, anxiety, and anger. I will help you develop communication skills to strengthen your relationships. I will help you grow emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I will teach you how to meditate properly, develop gratitude, and a sense of purpose. I will empower you to take action.

Are you feeling isolated? Anxious? Overwhelmed? From day-to-day challenges to unexpected life-altering events, a helping hand can be that life preserver in an increasingly stressful time.
