LPC, 10 years of experience
Hi! I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of NJ. I have been practicing about 10 years and specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, and OCD. However, I have worked with clients who have depression, PTSD, and need help adjusting to changes in life. I bring creativity to some sessions, if wanted, as sometimes talk therapy while not always bring out what we need it to.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I bring creativity, honesty, validation, and humor to sessions when appropriate.
I enjoy working with teens and young adults and help these clients learn how to manage negative parts of life while also enjoying the positive parts of life. I enjoy helping clients ease their perfectionism and OCD in order to enjoy life, as perfectionism is unobtainable and also takes a lot of joy away from an individual. It is important to learn that most things in life cannot be controlled, and we need to learn how to go with the flow and manage the negative emotions that come up when we cannot have control.
I primarily use psychodynamic, CBT, and ACT therapies to helps clients achieve the life they are yearning for while also learning to manage their symptoms and emotions. It is impossible to go through life unscathed, we just have to learn how to manage the negativite parts of life better.
