Hi, I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Therapist with experience treating adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD and various co-occurring disorders. I specialize in Borderline Personality Disorder. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and I am Qualified Clinical Supervisor. I have been successful in helping individuals overcome phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, trauma and self-injury. I believe in collaboration with clients--not directives. My style is genuine and empathetic while being solution-focused. I am capable of using different treatment modalities; I realize that everyone's needs and preferences are different. Ultimately, I believe in empowering clients to help themselves. Perhaps you are struggling with serious challenges or, you may want to learn how to deal with difficult people or situations. Most of us can benefit from developing skills. It is always my goal to provide my clients with the tools they need to improve their lives. If you are unhappy or would simply like to improve in some areas, I am happy to help. Please note: I am currently licensed to provide services in New Jersey only. If you live in another state I will not be able to provide services. My calendar displays general availability, which is often fluid. If you would like to discuss meeting outside the advertised hours, please email or message me directly. If possible, I will try to accommodate you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My intention is to help clients feel seen and heard in all sessions. The initial session is typically establishes rapport and goodness of fit between myself and the client. I gather additional information discuss the next steps of treatment, etc.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe that my biggest strength is being able to meet clients where they are and using practical treatment strategies. I try to be flexible with treatment, as it is sometimes necessary to make adjustments. It is necessary to listen to clients' needs, rather than adhering to a rigid treatment agenda. I am also skilled at helping clients prioritize and work on the areas that will provide the most benefit. Lastly, I strive to be genuinely honest, even when it is difficult.

My treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I have used dialectical behavioral therapy for several years and in the last year have become Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have found DBT to be helpful in treating various disorders and difficulties, including, personality disorders, depression, and anxiety to name a few. DBT is particularly helpful for individuals who have persistently distorted or inflexible thought patterns and trouble regulating emotions. Clients are given multiple resources to learn from and use in between sessions. DBT is an active therapy which requires collaboration on the part of the client and therapist. With optimal execution there is a high degree of success leading to overall improvement.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for years. It is the gold standard in treating various depressive and anxiety disorders. CBT is performed during the session, teaching clients alternative ways of thinking, as well as in between sessions. Clients are given resources, and in some cases exposures or other exercises to challenge unhelpful world views that may be causing distress.

Eclectic

It is often necessary to employ various methods at different times. There is no one size fits all approach to treatment. I have found that being flexible and using multiple strategies can be beneficial to treatment and reduce client fatigue. I am well-versed in trauma reduction Christian counseling, mindfulness training, as well as many other evidence-based treatments. I integrate various methods as they are helpful to treatment for a holistic approach.
