Although my framework of therapy is family systems, my primary therapeutic approach is solution focused therapy (SFT).
Licensed in PA, Delaware, and NJ. I pursue a therapeutic framework that supports setting goals and strategies for productive therapeutic work. I enjoy counseling individuals, couples, and families. I am committed to compassionately working with clients who may experience depression, anxiety, mood disorders, marital and relational issues, and difficult family dynamics. I also help clients who need assistance in life coaching, communication, and conflict resolution. I create a safe haven that encompasses transparency, non-judgment, and acceptance, while empowering you to achieve goals with desirable results.

Over the 18 years in the behavioral health field, I've attributed my growth and experience to all of the clients I've seen. One of the most difficult aspects of therapy is having to be vulnerable. In order to be vulnerable a client must feel seen, heard, respected and safe. I've worked in multiple settings such as school, corporate healthcare, home, clinic and private practice. I've worked with families, individually, with children, teen and adults with addiction, behavioral health needs and disabilities. Mostly utilizing a strengths based and family systems perspective/model.

Are you or your child struggling? Does your child display anxiety more often than it seems he or she should? Are they missing out on an enjoyable, if not "typical" grade school or college experience? Or, maybe you are trying to conceive, and having difficulty feeling calm and seeing the outcomes you desire? Wherever you or your loved one is on their journey, I hear you and I see you. Our bodies are wired for stress as a means of protecting us from potential danger, but sometimes we get "stuck" in our stress response, which can keep us from our goals. I help clients challenge these responses to form more healthy, adaptable ones.

If you have had an experience that seems traumatic to you despite what others may think or say, or any extremely stressful life challenge recently or in the past, I specialize in helping with these issues. If there is something you have never shared with anyone or are frightened by the prospect of disclosing what you've carried for a long time, I am here to listen. The impact of distressing experiences may result in extreme anxiety or fear, episodes of depression, repeated difficulties in personal or family relationships and even physical health issues. Emotional experiences during developmental years may result in complex PTSD.

Navigating the challenges of addiction, whether it's your own or that of a loved one, can leave you feeling isolated, confused, and overwhelmed. For those who grew up with a caretaker who abused alcohol or drugs, you may wonder if, and how, that affects you now. It's hard to believe addiction has touched YOUR life. This only happens to other people, right? Sadly, addiction doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like. It strains relationships, erodes trust, and takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride. It's hard to imagine having a happy, peaceful life - but you can! People do recover and families can heal.

Never before has the adage, “I was a teenager once too!” been more out of step with the experience of adolescents today. I’ve been helping teens for 35 yrs and have a good read on the challenges they face and the strategies that are effective in relieving the anxiety, disillusionment, depression, anger, and disconnection that plague so many families. I help teens who are anxious, argumentative, defiant, withdrawn, moody, self-destructive, inattentive, depressed, or doing poorly in school and will help you decide whether the problems you're noticing are part of "typical" teen behavior or a sign of something more serious.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
