I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in New Jersey and LMHC-D in NY.
I help clients actively seeking change and are motivated to do the work required. These clients are willing to explore their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a reflective and honest way. They don’t resist the process of identifying cognitive distortions or unhealthy patterns.
First session
The first session of therapy is an opportunity for my clients to understand the therapeutic process, clarify their goals, and begin developing a relationship with me. During our first meeting together, I’ll review logistics, such as billing, HIPAA and confidentiality, and mandated reporting. I will create a safe and non judge-mental environment for you to feel comfortable with discussing sensitive topics. I will often encourage you to express any concerns or doubts you have about the therapy process or your relationship with me. The first session is a time for both the client and the therapist to assess whether they feel comfortable working together. If the fit doesn’t feel right, I will encourage you to consider looking for another therapist that may be a better fit.
Strengths
The ability to deeply understand and connect with a client's feelings and experiences without judgment. This creates a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and understood. *Disclaimer - Please note that I do not offer/complete the following services: Emotional Support Animal letters/evals, custody evaluations, Court-ordered treatment, Worker's compensation evaluation, Disability evaluation, FMLA paperwork*
Ideal clients
I enjoy helping clients that are actively seeking change and are motivated to do the work required. These clients are willing to explore their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a reflective and honest way. They don’t resist the process of identifying cognitive distortions or unhealthy patterns. Whether you’re a new mom adjusting to motherhood or someone feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward, I’m here to support you. I specialize in working with women who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from themselves during life transitions—especially in the postpartum period
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As your therapist I will strive to educate you about CBT, explaining how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. I will explain concepts like the cognitive triangle (thoughts → feelings → behaviors), helping the client understand how negative or distorted thoughts contribute to emotional distress.
