“You can’t get to courage without walking through vulnerability” (Brene Brown, PhD, LMSW)
To seek therapy is to be vulnerable and I understand that it is not to be taken lightly. A therapist is just like any other relationship, and I recognize that it is not always easy to find someone we connect with in a way that allows us to be truly open. My approach to therapy is first and foremost to provide a safe and comforting environment for clients, and to provide a unique experience that allows people to flourish by utilizing the strengths they already have but may not always be aware of. I seek to hold and support clients through challenges they may be experiencing and have a compassion and empathy to deliver a service without judgment. I feel both honored and privileged to walk alongside my clients during their most vulnerable of moments, and I do not take their choosing me to be that person for granted. My desire to help others be the best person they can be for themselves and for their loved one’s is genuine and that is what I strive to translate through my work.
I have a special interest in working with families who are affected by adolescent behavioral issues and marital/couple distress, in addition to having an interest in working with issues related to women and sexuality. My additional experience includes working with culturally diverse populations at Family Service League, Inc. in Montclair, NJ as a Clinician and At Home Marital and Family Counseling in Middlesex County as a Clinician where I provided “in home” therapeutic services to individuals, families, couples and children.
