Chronic Pain Therapists in Turnersville, NJ

Sometimes life throws obstacles at you that are out of your control, but that does not mean you cannot live your optimally healthy life. Being truly healthy includes emotional, social, mental and physical well-being. When these aspects of life are out of balance due to health problems, work stress, or personal issues, it can feel like your whole world is falling apart. Working through these challenges and learning the best coping tools can help you put it back together. I strive to help you move through challenges in achieving a healthy mind and body using practical, evidence-based strategies and compassionate tailored care.

It's time to totally shake it up. Forget what you think you know about therapy or what you need to do to change your life... Making that level of change means confronting Truth and fundamentally changing yourself. I won't sugarcoat it and I certainly won't lie to you: I will tell you what you need to know and guide you toward making the proper choices in your life. And I'll prove it to you right now: I tell you outright that I can't fix you. No one can. The only person that has that sort of power over you IS you. This involves hard choices in learning how to manage your life. And I will stand beside you every step of the way.

At one point or another, life can get difficultand painful for everyone. I specialize in helping people navigate their way through the challenges we all face that can make things seem so overwhelming. I believe the therapeutic process is a valuable tool that creates positive change in a client's life; from finding relief from depression, anxiety, and anger to developing coping skills and making life decisions. My approach to treatment is eclectic, allowing me to customize treatment for each client's unique needs and goals. My therapeutic style includes creativity, humor and support.

I create a safe place of respect and compassion for you to do the work of getting better. I am with you, supporting you, as you learn and practice the new skills and behaviors that help you live YOUR LIFE fully and with greater strength, resilience, and purpose. Suffering decreases and life enlarges.

I have been a therapist for over 27 years and my passion to help people has not changed. Therapy is about not just listening to your client, but hearing what that person is saying, not just their actual words but what thoughts and feelings are behind the words. To my client, a therapy session feels like a conversation with someone who cares deeply about them and is listening, hearing and responding. But it is much more than a friendly conversation, as I offer my knowledge, expertise and acquired skills to help you solve your problems.

I help people who are struggling with the full range of psychological issues (including anxiety in all of its forms, depression, OCD, chronic health issues, substance use, and adjustment issues) find an easier, more satisfying, and more fulfilling path. I believe that good therapy should feel like progress from day one, and will help you identify the strategies needed to make that progress. This approach to therapy generates long-term improvements for people suffering from the broad spectrum of painful human emotions and challenges.

Peace of Mind. The goal of therapy is the relief of emotional distress, empowering you to approach life challenges with a feeling of calm and increased competence. We can work to reduce anxiety, improve mood, learn coping skills and calming strategies. These tools can be applied to a variety of issues including parenting skills, childhood behavior, pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood, relationships, medical stressors, anxiety and depression. I am offering in-office sessions as well as telehealth video sessions to let you choose what is most helpful to you.

Most of my clients are people who have lost sight of how awesome they actually are whether that be due to some sort of trauma, a bad or unfulfilling relationship, a chronic illness, or a mental health disorder. They are people looking to make sense of their realities and to learn how to manage them. My clients are mostly adolescents and adults, but I will see children who are capable of handling the telehealth format.
