Hi, I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a down-to-earth therapist who believes in meeting people exactly where they are—no judgment, no pressure, just real conversation and real support. Life can feel heavy sometimes. New stressors, a new job, family changes, relationship challenges, or just trying to figure out who you are and what you need right now—it’s a lot. And you don’t have to navigate it alone. I enjoy working with adults who are simply trying to make sense of life while doing the best they can. You don’t need to have everything figured out to come to therapy. You just need a space to exhale, reflect, and take things one step at a time. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. We’ll look at what’s weighing on you, what’s shaping your patterns, and what support you need to move forward. Together, we’ll work on growth, healing, and learning to give yourself a little grace along the way. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly listens, understands, and walks with you through the hard parts — I’d be honored to support you.

We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’ve been carrying emotionally, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You are always in control of what you choose to share. By the end of our first session, we will have a clearer understanding of your immediate concerns, identified both short-term and long-term goals, and discussed what support looks like for you. I also like to make sure you leave knowing what to expect moving forward. My hope is that you walk away feeling seen, heard, and encouraged about the next steps in your healing journey.

As a CIMHP, I specialize in nutritional and integrative medicine for mental health, alongside medical social work, grief and loss counseling, trauma-informed care, and telehealth therapy. I work with individuals, families, and groups facing health-related challenges, including chronic illnesses like kidney disease and dialysis, hospice and end-of-life transitions, caregiving for loved ones with Alzheimer's or dementia, grief (especially for children and families), and the unique struggles that come with military service—such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, combat or deployment-related trauma, readjustment to civilian life, feelings of isolation or loss of purpose, anger management, sleep difficulties, and other stresses from service. With extensive telehealth experience through secure platforms (including virtual counseling for military-connected individuals), I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy in a warm, non-judgmental virtual space. Taking a holistic approach, I support the whole person—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual—to help you process difficult emotions, manage stress and trauma, develop effective coping strategies (including nutritional and lifestyle integrations for mental well-being), build resilience, honor your experiences and losses, and move forward with greater hope, strength, peace, and purpose in your daily life. If you're dealing with chronic health concerns, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions tied to medical experiences, or the emotional impacts of military service, I'm here to walk alongside you with understanding and expertise.

Hello, I am so excited that you have decided to take time out and review my page. Thank you! Growing up in a culture where therapy is considered weak and embarrassing, I find myself running into many people that are scared, confused, and skeptical of the process. Some of the questions that arise are: am I crazy, does this really work, am I betraying my culture and will I ever get better? In addition to this, I too found myself navigating through the webs of this process hoping to find a solution to all of my problems. And despite what was preconceived, I found LIFE. Life to live, freedom to be who I am, and skills to navigate through the daily twists, turns, and traumas of life. This too I would like to offer to you. Utilizing an Eclectic approach in Psychotherapy, I am able to meet the individual where they are at, and develop treatment modalities that best fits their needs. Some examples include CBT, Interpersonal Skills, Emotion Regulation, Phase 1 trauma treatment, Family Conflict, Relationship Issues, the development of effective Coping Skills, etc. I will be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to living beyond your own expectations.

Travel, culture, and meaningful connection have shaped much of my life. I’ve completed two spiritual pilgrimages, one in Spain and one in Italy, that challenged me physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and continue to influence the way I show up in my work. My passion for personal development and spirituality guides both my life and my clinical practice. I believe that true emotional well‑being is supported by a strong spiritual foundation, especially in times of uncertainty. In my 35 years of experience, I worked with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families through a compassionate, integrative lens. My background includes Systems and Family Therapy, Psychodynamic work, Problem‑Solving approaches, EMDR, and Trauma‑Informed care. My goal is to help clients cultivate clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of inner peace.

I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions---things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and psychoeducation. Although, you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor that one will improve is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance in which you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I am here to help you along on your journey. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Utah. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned a Master's of Art from Roosevelt University. I have experience working with youth and their families as well as adults. The theoretical framework that I usually draw from is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also apply Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Techniques as needed. I address trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, interpersonal skills, self-esteem, anger, problem-solving, and decision-making. In conjunction with therapy, I believe that exercise, proper nutrition, and good sleep hygiene are an integral part of overcoming mental health concerns. Change, even positive change can be challenging and uncomfortable. I hope to provide the necessary support as a champion of change.

Navigating relationships can be hard, can't it? Making the decision to separate or divorce can be stressful. Trying to figure out if you'd like to be in a relationship or marriage are thoughts that can be pervasive. Feeling satisfied and fulfilled in your season of singleness comes with its multitude of challenges. Life after separation, divorce or any relationship transition can initially appear to be overwhelming: family & friend transitions, co-parenting, career moves, and demographic changes just to name a few. You don't have to do it alone. You deserve therapeutic partnership to assist in making your best informed decisions in your life. Outside of counseling regarding relationships, I also assist with treating symptoms of depression, anxiety and balancing work with everyday life. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I've been in various consulting and counseling roles since 2005. I specialize in Empowering Individuals Through Life and Relationship Transitions by providing Individual Telehealth Talk Therapy via J.

Hi there, I'm Theresa. Do you feel overwhelmed, do you feel no matter what you try, or what you do, nothing changes? Are you struggling with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals that just feel plan stuck, stuck in their personal life, stuck in problem solving and stuck in this thing we call life. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self-approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I love to integrate measurable goals so that you build upon small goals that create change! Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

I'm licensed in both NJ and PA. I have over 20 years experience helping adults, both individually and couples feeling overwhelmed, alone, stressed, sad or worried. I offer support as we work through feelings of anxiety, depression, isolation, and stress related to work, life changes, loss, transitions, identity, health challenges, family and relationship issues. With a warm, empathetic, inclusive approach, you will feel supported as we navigate the challenges in relationships (colleagues, friends, marriage, significant others, family) as well as from caregiving responsibilities (to children, spouse, and aging parents.) I work with individuals, couples, gender, ethnic, LGBTQ and racially diverse clients. All sessions are virtual, in the comfort of your own home. Reach out to me and I will support you through the challenges of life.
