Hi, I’m Al (she/her he/him). When we take time to slow down and give our pain attention, we make meaning out of our struggles and experience healing. I love this process, it's engaging, but more importantly it’s an opportunity to resist oppressive forces by offering ourselves love and space. Using various methods, we can: carefully explore grief and trauma; pull apart shame, and be present for parts of you that deserve compassion; empower you over oppressive systems; make room for more pleasure and joy; relate to others differently, more deeply, or more often; affirm who you are, and find gratitude for what you’ve learned.

In life, you will find yourself needing different types of support depending on the circumstances you are doing your best to manage. This can look like grieving a loss, reflecting on your family dynamic, wanting better skills to connect with others, or healing from painful experiences. I will support you in exploring what brings meaning to your life while building insight into your emotions and behavior. The space that we create together will provide you with the safety and connection you need to grow as an individual and within your relationships.

I understand that you might be experiencing a difficult time, whether it's a significant transition, a loss, or feelings you’re unsure how to handle.

When it comes to our lives and sense of self, our inner wisdom can become drowned out by the noise of circumstance and context. I believe that therapy is a journey that allows us to hear that wisdom again (or for the first time) and ultimately, (re) connect to ourselves. It is a space where we can explore the different parts of ourselves, where we befriend and harmonize with our inner characters, bringing our inner world into better alignment so that we can find peace in our external world. Therapy also involves exploring ways in which we can build a soul-nourishing community, both internally and externally, for ourselves.

I am currently seeing clients in person in New Jersey and via Telehealth in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. As a relational therapist and Licensed Social Worker, I take a direct yet welcoming approach to help you explore the patterns and dynamics that shape your relationships—with others and with yourself. I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship: the connection between therapist and client can be healing in itself, helping you uncover and address patterns between past experiences and present challenges. I firmly believe in empowering my clients by fostering insight and facilitating internal healing processes.

I believe that life includes suffering, and that it’s important to accept this reality while also finding healing, meaning, connection, and pleasure. I am well-versed in working with people experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, psychosis, personality disorders, grief, life transitions, relationship and communication challenges, substance use, existential dread, and the stressors of everyday life in this society. My therapeutic style is client-centered and trauma-informed, and I think of therapy as a mutual process of exploration and meaning-making, rather than something the therapist “does to you.”

I offer flexible scheduling, a sliding fee scale, and a free initial consultation on the phone or in person.
When we truly know ourselves, the underlying motivations for our actions, and the subconscious fears that drive us, we can begin to exercise more control over our lives and move towards self-actualization. Mental illness is often defined through a lens of dysfunction, yet, even if we were able to remove all of the dysfunction from one's life, the experience of needing support would still be present for many people. My goal is not only to make sure my clients are functioning at their best, but also that they feel strong, genuine, and intentional while doing it.

As an art therapist, I value the innate creativity within each person, viewing art not only as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for self-discovery and growth. I approach healing through a feminist lens, recognizing and addressing the intersectional dynamics that influence mental health. I integrate CBT, mindfulness techniques, and talk therapy, tailoring my approach to meet your individual needs. Recognizing the potential intimidation and anxiety associated with therapy, I prioritize fostering a warm, non-judgmental environment where humor is not just welcomed but embraced.

As a counselor, I remain true to myself in the sense that I am direct, warm, honest, compassionate, and expressive with my reactions. I tend to be casual in my approach, so if something is funny, I will laugh with you, and if something is sad or distressing, I will share those feelings with you as well. While it is important to me that I remain as objective as possible, I firmly believe that the therapist themself serves as a tool that contributes to your therapeutic process. For that reason, I believe our connection must be fostered collaboratively and authentically.
