Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey. I have a doctorate degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health with a specialization in Education and Counseling Psychology. The primary focus of my practice is to help my clients to reach their potentials. I have been privileged to work in the helping profession for the past fifteen years. I believe that the entire process begins by identifying those stumbling blocks in the lives of the individuals that prevented them from achieving their desired goals. I maintain a high level of openness with my clients having realized over the year that what matters most in therapy is the client /therapist relationship. I truly believe that it is the relationship that heals. My practice incorporates the client-centered, non-directive approach, the cognitive behavior approach and the eclectic approach. This is important to me because every individual is unique and should be treated as an individual by entering into each clients own world. The use of compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard are the core elements of treatment in my practice. I specialize in psychotherapy with individuals of all ages with various mental health diagnoses and behavioral issues. I have extensive experience working with families and children and I also have a great interest in community development. Additionally, I run Anger management courses, Parenting courses and Coping skills courses for interested individuals and also for those who are mandated by the legal system to do so. I look forward to working with you.

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.
