First session
In our first session together, here’s what you can expect: my priority is to create a comfortable space where you can share your story in your own words. We will walk through a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment together, which is essentially a deep dive into the biological, emotional, and social factors that shape your well-being. While this involves me asking several questions, it allows us to identify your unique stressors and strengths. By the end of our meeting, we will have laid the foundation for a clear diagnosis and a collaborative treatment plan designed specifically for your needs.
Strengths
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions are my clinical expertise and my genuine, down-to-earth compassion. Clients often tell me they appreciate that my office is a space where it is safe to be vulnerable—you might cry, but we will also find reasons to laugh. I may know the right answers, but I ask good questions. My patients tell me that I am kind and that I genuinely care for them as individuals. I believe that a trusting relationship can foster meaningful change. The State of NJ requires in-person visits for stimulant medications to treat ADHD. I do treat ADHD with non-stimulant and stimulant medications depending on the patient. If you are not within 30 minutes of the office in Linwood, NJ or are not open to non-stimulant medications, you would be better served with a provider closer to you
Ideal clients
My favorite patients are children, adolescents, young adults and those who are young at heart. I have a special interests in childhood trauma and its affects across the lifespan. I am very interactive and you will be provided many carefully selected choices especially in medication management. I am a strong advocate for children/teens and can provide support to parents to navigate the school system. I believe that children/teens are part of bigger family system and the parent needs to be involved for the best outcomes.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
People who come for treatment have already have made the first step in making a change. I utilize Motivational Interviewing to provide a collaborative space where your goals take center stage. I am here to guide you in identifying the shifts you wish to make while celebrating the strengths you already possess. I operate from the core belief that you are far more than the symptoms you may be experiencing. a
Supportive
I utilize Supportive Therapy to provide a therapeutic space grounded in genuine empathy, active listening, and unconditional validation. My goal is to help you feel deeply heard and understood as we navigate life's hurdles together. Rather than trying to change who you are, this approach focuses on reinforcing your existing coping mechanisms, building emotional resilience, and reducing anxiety so you can regain a sense of stability and confidence in your daily life."
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In a world that constantly pulls our attention in a million directions, it is easy to get caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past. I incorporate Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help you anchor yourself in the present moment without judgment. Together, we will explore practical mindfulness tools—such as grounding exercises, breathwork, and self-awareness techniques—that allow you to observe your thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them. This approach helps reduce the noise of daily stress, lowers anxiety, and empowers you to respond to life's challenges with intentional clarity rather than automatic reaction
Psychoeducation
I believe that understanding the 'why' behind your symptoms is a vital part of the healing process. Through Psychoeducation, I empower you with clear knowledge about your mental health and the tools available to manage it. In my physical office, I provide a hands-on environment where you can 'try-on' various coping skills to see what resonates with you personally. This interactive approach is especially effective for children, as it gives them a tangible way to explore and navigate their emotions when words might be hard to find."
