Life's hardships sometimes deplete our emotions. Loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and confusion consume our inner resources, and we might need help from a "neutral" person to detect what's going on and help us restore our inner peace, so we should be capable of having passion and delight in work, relationships and feel good about ourselves. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the States of New York and New Jersey and a trained Psychoanalyst. In psychoanalytic therapy, you'll gain mastery over your emotional world and feel empowered to deal with life's circumstances.

Hi, I'm Meredith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and teens struggling to determine who they are currently and to understand their own personal developmental process. Using a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, humor, and person-centered work, your counseling will start with building a trusting and welcoming rapport and then supporting you as you work at your own pace towards your goals. As adults and teens, we are often in positions to care for others. We help, we volunteer, we go the extra mile even if that extra mile costs us an hour less sleep. And in everything we do, there is so much pressure to be the perfect woman, the perfect employee, the perfect student, the perfect mother. For some of us, "perfect" feels more like "impossible." As a counselor, I see the struggles that so many people have on a daily basis with the idea that they need to be perfect and how it reframes their idea of self I have also seen firsthand the long term impact of being everything to everyone. I’d like to get to know you and work together to go the extra mile for you and your personal wellness and happiness. It is my hope that by working together we can challenge those thoughts of perfection, work to help you accept yourself, and learn to breathe, balance and grow. I began my private practice part-time in 2012 while also working for a local university as a professor/clinical supervisor for graduate students in a mental health counseling program and continues to work extensively with college and graduate students and the unique pressures they face. In addition, I have an extensive background as a mental health and social justice activist and recognize both the sociocultural and environmental issues that women face, particularly women of color, and do not shy away from giving that side of my clients' perspective time and support. My practice is secular and inclusive, all are welcome.

As a licensed therapist in New Jersey with 16 years of professional work experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, & professional coaching. I work virtually with clients on a one to one basis, as well as with couples as a specialty. I've always believed strongly in the capacity of people from all backgrounds to develop skills and make positive changes to better themselves. This understanding intersects with my belief that enabling clients to develop their capacity to adopt new patterns of thought/action is integral in helping them learn and grow. This is an essential part of my approach with clients. My main objective with every client is to build on strengths to develop skills that enable positive change. This process starts with collaboration to identify where the client wants to be by the end of the therapeutic relationship to aid in the creation of treatment goals. I will draw from a broad skill-set that includes knowledge of family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, development of assertiveness skills, how to address issues with self-esteem/self-worth, addiction recovery and relationship issues. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
