The town of Phillipsburg, New Jersey has multiple railroad tracks and lines that date back to the 1800s. Much like the Norfolk Southern, the Lehigh Valley, and the Central lines continue to chug along, having access to quality mental health services can help you do the same. Why continue to feel the same way without trying to choose something different?

Trains aren’t the only thing that have the ability to be resilient to change through the years. Let a mental health professional support you and help you to a better mental or emotional place with help from a nearby Phillipsburg-area counselor.

I have a flair for helping people effect positive change in their lives. My offices are comfortable safe spaces to talk about difficult things and make tough decisions. The road to emotional wellness can be painful and challenging, so I try very hard to be encouraging and supportive while change is occurring. Hurt, pain and anger do not define who we are; it opens our emotional pathways to inform us of the need and time for change. Depression is usually an indication of the depth of personal disruption, so when it’s appropriate, I offer advice to validate feelings, encourage healing and to dismantle irrational thinking.
