Find a Therapist in Clinton, NJ

My approach in therapy is collaborative, supportive, and goal oriented.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults facing emotional and behavioral challenges. Areas of treatment include anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant (ODD), attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), social skills deficits, executive functioning difficulties, learning disabilities, school-related struggles, and performance issues. I provide treatment for tics and tic disorders and conduct comprehensive learning and ADHD evaluations. I create a supportive space for clients to explore difficult topics and vulnerabilities. Using acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness, I help clients develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors. My goal-oriented approach focuses on meaningful goals, guiding clients to build resilience, navigate challenges, and create lasting change. I specialize in assessment, intervention, and support strategies that promote well-being, behavioral regulation, and success, tailoring approaches to individual needs. I understand how challenging it can be to navigate difficult emotions. If you're feeling overwhelmed, I'm here to help. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and see if my approach can support you. Reach out and let's explore how we can work together to create positive change.

For 40 years I have been serving my community as a psychologist in private practice. My expertise is in helping individuals who are suffering with anxiety, depression and negative self image begin to see themselves differently and learn how they can take charge of their lives and experience the joy they were intended to feel. Working with a number of different modalities, my clients learn how to free themselves from negative and limiting self concepts. I take a very spiritual approach to my work. As a trinity, body, mind and spirit, shifting ones perspective and beginning to operate from a higher view often helps one overcome what seemed at one time to be impossible. We are joy seeking beings because joy is our natural state. When we once again come to know our true nature, we will naturally begin to feel more alive, joyful and ultimately more fulfilled.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my page. The idea of counseling can be scary, no matter what our age, and this is a huge step. Finding the right “fit” can be critical for your success in counseling. Let me tell you a bit about my practice to see if it helps in your search. Most people come to my practice to gain a sense of what patterns are keeping them stuck (even when past counseling has not worked). Together we face what has been avoided to achieve greater satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives. I use humor to normalize symptoms of stress and provide a warm, comfortable environment to let go and take new supported risks. My practice works with the philosophy that past experiences can impact our present triggers, current relationships, and even future decisions. I work with past traumas (big or small) and present "pesky" symptoms you want healed through EMDR and IFS therapy to bring deep healing and resolution. Therapy is customized to meet your individual needs and goals. Issues- anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, attachment wounding and struggles, and Life Transitions

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, a life transition, or problems in your relationships? Do you feel sad or angry, and are you in need of help right now with complicated issues? I work to create a safe, enriching environment as we collaborate together to develop a clearer understanding of these concerns. We explore your goals in life and what gets in the way of experiencing a sense of fulfillment and purpose. I strive to listen and support the needs of my clients and explore with them meaningful changes they can make in their lives and in their personal and professional relationships. I frequently work with people who are dealing with significant transitions in their 20, 30 and 40-something lives. New stages in a person's life require a better understanding of old relationship patterns along with opportunities for identifying current relationships and personal aspirations.

I help adults as they get ready to make important changes in their lives. I value working with people from various religious backgrounds, nationalities, sexual orientations, and ethniccultural identities and as my client, I commit to ensuring that you feel seen and valued. Clients can expect to gain self-knowledge, to find clarity and acceptance, to feel empowered and capable, and to learn practical skills and strategies. Whatever you are facing, whatever life has thrown your way, you are not alone.

Your feelings are always valid, no matter what they are. In my practice, I utilize a variety of proven therapeutic approaches to ensure effective treatment. A key aspect of my work is to empower you and actively involve you as a collaborator in your therapeutic journey.

I believe that we are all meant to live happy lives, full of meaning. I feel strongly that the adversities we face in our lifetime can serve us well by providing us with the opportunity to gain a higher plain of purpose. My passion and excitement for providing psychotherapy stem from my desire to help individuals discover how they can use their negative experiences in a way that benefits their lives.

Do you feel like you don’t have a space that is meant for you in this world? “Normal" has never been where you fit in, and that’s fine with you. But you are more than a little tired of holding up the mask you wear and seeming so resilient when you’re really just exhausted. So you want to explore deeper within yourself and be true to who you are. You want a better relationship with yourself and those you are around, whether friends, family, or romantic partners. You can improve and grow your relationships. You can absolutely learn new skills and strengthen what’s already there. It might be really fucking difficult, but you’ve gotten this far, haven’t you? All of the resources to be the best you are already there. They’re just waiting to be unlocked. But you don’t have to do it all alone. I can help. Not as some high-and-mighty expert, but as your guide. Because I’ve been there too. I know how hard it is to balance all of your competing needs. I’m Latina, autistic, and an ADHDer. I get it.
