Find a Therapist in Mullica Hill, NJ

My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

It’s not always easy to create a life that feels aligned with who you are. You might find yourself feeling disconnected, uncertain, or questioning your choices, wondering why things don’t feel as fulfilling as you expected. These experiences can be difficult, but they can also be important starting points for deeper understanding. Therapy offers a space to slow down and explore these questions with care. Together, we’ll look at patterns in your emotional life and relationships, explore how past experiences may be shaping the present, and reconnect with what feels most meaningful to you. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and insight-oriented. Sessions are reflective and focused on helping you better understand yourself over time, with space to process emotions and gain clarity. I often work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship concerns, and a general sense of feeling unfulfilled or “off.” Over time, clients often feel more connected to themselves, more clear about what matters, and more able to move forward with intention. If you’re considering therapy, you’re welcome to reach out for a free consultation to see if this feels like a good fit.

“We speak not only to tell other people what we think, but to tell ourselves what we think.  Speech is part of thought.” — Oliver Sacks. Oliver Sacks understood something that I have come to deeply respect—that connecting with others and talking out loud are meaningful practices that can change lives. At many points in our lives we simply need someone to listen. Be it a longstanding mental illness or a life change that creates mixed up thoughts and feelings, sometimes we simply need an educated ear. I have a unique background, having worked in addictions, inpatient and outpatient counseling, and school social work. I have a considerable amount of experience helping parents better connect with their children, working with schools to reach every student, and helping people understand how social environments can both hold them back and facilitate success. Throughout my career, moreover, I have maintained a sharp focus on the complexities and consequences of trauma. As a clinician practicing in these increasingly uncertain and stressful times, I am committed to partnering with you, and will work with you toward achieving the desired relief and growth that will help you pursue the life you want. I am trained in CBT, aspects of DBT, Parent Behavior Training, psychological first aid, social emotional learning, family systems, psychodynamic theory, feminist theory, and humanistic theory.  I take a strengths-based and holistic approach to working with each client, preferring to tailor my treatment style to meet individual needs.  With a casual sense of humor and creative nature, I aim to help you feel heard and understood, to empower you to make meaningful change.

I approach therapy through a collaborative and relational lens, working with clients to understand their challenges within the broader context of their relationships and lived experiences. Drawing from collaborative therapy and systemic sex therapy, I partner with clients to explore how family dynamics, early life experiences, and past traumas shape present-day concerns, particularly in intimacy, authenticity, and communication. Together, we uncover unconscious patterns that influence choices and relational dynamics, fostering deeper connection and self-awareness. I support individuals and partners in navigating intense symptoms of anxiety and depression, and guide them through significant life transitions—such as career shifts, divorce, or entering college—with compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to shared meaning-making.

Some of human suffering is about the way we experience the events of our lives rather than the things themselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to bring awareness to our experiences and change our emotional relationship to them rather than try to change the events themselves. By thinking of events in this way, we are able to gain a sense of control in our lives and positively experience and influence its direction. If we believe that we have the power within us to achieve health and happiness, then the events in our lives that cause us pain and suffering can be seen as an opportunity to learn about ourselves and experience personal growth.

I incorporate the wisdom and tools from various psychotherapy approaches. Some clients choose to include the calming effects of mindfulness or meditation as part of therapy.

Every conversation makes a difference. The differences may be subtle or they can be life-changing. I work in a direct and warm manner, creating an environment that is dynamic and safe. The therapeutic relationship is a very important one and can provide the basis for navigating through difficult life transitions, improving communication skills, healing from a loss, or exploring possibilities for enhancing one's life.
