I am a professional counselor in New Jersey with over 24 years of experience in the field of counseling, but I have been a therapist for a little over five years. I don't have any particular group that I prefer to work with. I work with children as well as adults. I believe therapy is a combination of techniques that focus on positive interventions, such as Mindfulness therapy and expressive arts therapy, as well as serious and in-depth processing of trauma. For the trauma, I like to use Cognitive processing therapy. For anxiety and depression, cognitive behavioral interventions are used as well.
With children, I use play therapy and encourage drawing and other creative methods of expression to help them with difficult emotions. With the help of parents, interventions that also educate them could be suggested. Homework could be assigned to help them to form creative habits, such as drawing and/or coloring, to learn positive copings skills.
Everything I do, I do with passion. I am very interested in finding out how I might be able to help you using the toolbox of interventions that make sense to me! I am creative, open-minded and like to integrate interventions that not only teach you what I am doing but help you to cope with the problematic emotions.
Additional areas of focus: Impulsivity, Mood disorders, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Social anxiety and phobia
