Therapists in West Deptford, NJ

I view therapy as an opportunity to build a meaningful life. This can be through either discovering new meaning or recognizing meaning that's been there all along. In building therapeutic relationships, I aspire to form genuine, authentic connections with patients. My specialities include working with those experiencing existential anxiety or dread, those with complicated grief, trauma survivors, those with persistent suicidal ideation, and those who use drugs and aren't interested in abstinence.

I believe that the most important part of helping a client relates to the development of trust between the client and therapist. It is essential to create an emotionally safe environment and demonstrate unconditional acceptance regarding the client's emotional experience. I am holistically oriented and use an integrative eclectic approach to treatment. I believe that the body and mind are inter-related. The therapeutic approach might focus at times on improving nutrition, exercise, and even self-appreciation. Therapeutic techniques may include aspects of: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, NLP, Art, Movement, and even Hypnosis.

Have you ever had the thought of starting therapy? Then immediately, you think that it's the scariest and most awkward idea you could ever have. "How could I possibly open up to a stranger?" you ask yourself. Well, if that isn't your thought process, it's actually mine. There's something inside of me that remembers we came to Earth to connect and be seen. Being truly seen is scary for almost everyone — even me. Together, we can normalize and practice how to be seen by others, and most importantly, by ourselves. Therapy can be a relaxed, fun, and transformative interaction. I'm up for the challenge of proving that to you.

Life can be challenging and stressful. As M. Scott Peck wrote, "Life is difficult." Life can also be filled with enormous joy and pleasure. If you are suffering with depression or anxiety, struggling with the daily stresses of parenting, relationships, work place issues, coping with illness or grieving the loss of a loved one, I offer a safe, supportive and compassionate environment to assist you with these life challenges. The emotional support and guidance of a caring and empathetic professional, can truly make a positive difference in your life experience and emotional well-being.

My motto is that progress is a process when implementing growth. Through exploration of thoughts and feelings, we will build a collaborative avenue for change. I utilize a patient-centered, strengths-based perspective, and trauma-informed lens. Through relationally-oriented psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, we will create a safe space filled with empathy, warmth, and challenge. We will partner together to better understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how you will build the tools to navigate both positive and difficult situations.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

We all want to feel whole and achieve meaningful goals in our lives. To do so requires honesty and dedication, especially around the insecurities and defense mechanisms that have become ingrained within our personality. I can help you zoom out to gain more familiarity with your true Self trying to break through the surface of your persona. On one hand, it can be very anxiety provoking to feel that there is more to life than this. But, at the same time, it is an invitation to know, forgive and love yourself unconditionally. An invitation to feel into unknown selves and shadows, to accept You exactly the way you really are.

I work with diverse clients and issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and relationships (including LGBT). Our behavior patterns are our "creative adjustments" to life circumstances that were unresolvable with the resources we had at the time. I facilitate a compassionate self-awareness of "how" we do those patterns, looking to build the resources needed in the present. Change requires a new "experience" in the present and self-compassion is the best predictor of a good therapeutic outcome. Let's focus less on what "isn't" working in your life and more on accessing and building upon what "is" working NOW.

I am a pre-licensed psychotherapist from the United States, currently residing in the Sacred Valley of Peru, who takes a psychodynamic approach to sessions with a framework rooted in transpersonal psychology. I employ evidence-based practices signature of cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy, solution focused brief therapy, accelerated experiential dynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

For all of us, our early wounds and traumas restrict our energy and block us from living more freely and joyfully. If you feel this way, I'm glad you're here. I can help you retrieve your lost energy and together, rewire old patterns so you can more fully embody your freer self. Pain that we have is an invitation to slow down and get curious about our feelings so we can heal. I use a mind-body approach (somatic experiencing/ gestalt) with a relational lens (psychodynamic/ attachment/ Jungian). If you feel stuck after years of talk therapy, I can help you. I see children, adolescents, adults, couples & families virtually.

I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been in private practice for over 30 years. The eclectic nature of my training and practice allows me to tailor therapy to your unique treatment needs. As we think about the nature of experiences such as trauma (both old and new), grief, loss, depression, and anxiety, it is clear they affect us through the mind, emotions, and the physical sensations. The mind-body connection treats the whole person in the service of health and well-being.
