Find a Therapist in Egg Harbor Township, NJ

If you’ve found yourself here, you might be feeling unsure, stuck, or overwhelmed. Maybe something big, a loss, a diagnosis, or a major life change has turned your world upside down. Or perhaps it’s been a quieter, ongoing struggle: feeling unfulfilled, doubting yourself, or wondering if life could hold more meaning. Whatever brought you here, it’s okay to feel messy, complicated, or unsure. Life can be hard, and sometimes we need space to sort through it all and reconnect with who we are. Therapy offers that space, a chance to pause, reflect, and begin building a life that aligns with who you are at your core. My approach is built on collaboration, honesty, and curiosity. With nearly a decade of experience and evidence-based tools, I bring honesty, thoughtful humor, and a non-judgmental attitude to our work. We’ll explore your values, hopes, and fears, everything that makes you who you are. I’ll help you uncover what’s holding you back, imagine what’s possible, and take meaningful steps toward what matters most to you in life.

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.

My goal is to provide a place where you feel safe, understood, and respected. We will work together to explore and identify the areas of your life that you would like to understand better and develop plans to help you reach your goals. I have seen my clients find success with my treatment approaches combining CBT, mindfulness and a psychodynamic oriented approach to reach their goals. My approach to therapy works to build on your own personal strengths and support you with these tools and strategies that fit your individual needs. Together they provide a deeper self awareness and understanding of the way our experiences have shaped us, our decisions and our view of our world. Having that knowledge is transformative and empowering. “Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage means we face our fears. We are able to say, "I have fallen, but I will get up." ~ Maya Angelou

I work from a strong attachment base, holding the belief that growth occurs when we feel valued and understood. I work with individuals and their families towards living more connected lives. I view each client and their emotional support system from a perspective of competence and strength.

Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and stress can leave you feeling stuck, distracted, or burned out, even when life looks fine on the outside. Work gets done, responsibilities are handled, but inside it feels like you’re running on empty or struggling to keep up. You may benefit from therapy, one that gives you clear direction and useful strategies, not just another thing on your plate. I offer a path to help you reach your goals, so you may feel more steady, more focused, and more confident in handling whatever life brings.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Who am I?” or “What truly lights me up inside?” Do moments of feeling stuck, frustrated, or lost creep in more often than you’d like? Perhaps addiction, grief, or loss weigh heavily on your heart. My work is a gentle invitation to meet yourself with kindness and curiosity, offering a safe space to rediscover balance, safety, comfort, and joy—gifts that may be closer than you realize. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, collaborative space focused on what matters most to you. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and solution-focused therapy, tailoring each session to your journey. With years as a licensed social worker—and life shaped by fitness, education, and parenting teens—I bring expertise, lived understanding, and genuine compassion. If you’re here, you may be yearning for recovery, growth, or clarity, while also feeling some hesitation—emotions that are valid and welcome. We’ll move at your pace, building trust to uncover confidence and direction. If you’re ready to tap into your innate wisdom and self-compassion, I’d be honored to support you. Reach out to explore the next step.

You may be seeking therapy because relationships feel hard, your life feels unsettled, or you simply want to understand yourself more deeply. My style is interactive, kind, and direct. I’ve spent over 15 years supporting people in exploring the layers of who they are, with care, honesty, and deep listening. I work with people who are ready to reflect on their patterns and better understand the roots of anxiety, shame, and emotional discomfort. My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that therapy should move at your pace, gently stretching, never pushing. I use metaphor, humor, and thought-provoking questions to help bring clarity to what feels confusing or stuck. Our work together can help you feel more grounded, navigate relationships with greater ease, and tend to the parts of life that feel less than ideal. You'll be invited to bring your full self. Your curiosity, confusion, strengths, and fears are all invited into a space where your full self can be seen and held. Over time, therapy can help you move through fear, worry, overwhelm, and dissatisfaction by better understanding yourself and your patterns. My guiding principles as a therapist: • You choose the pace and focus—therapy works best when you're in the driver’s seat. • Both the inner and outer world shape emotional wellness. • You are primed to heal; therapy helps uncover what’s in the way.

Life is hard. We all face seasons of winter, where a disruption leads to feelings of grief, loneliness, anger, or anxiety. Even desired change can trigger difficult emotional experiences and heightened stress. Our modern life is so crowded with demands that many of us feel overextended, under supported, and disconnected from ourselves and others. At times, it can be difficult to find meaning and purpose in our lives and relationships. Few of us were taught how to recognize and metabolize emotional experiences or how to navigate interpersonal difficulties. My goal is to create a space where you will feel heard and understood, but also challenged and empowered to explore your life and make lasting change. Together, we will work to identify and begin to challenge and modify interpersonal patterns, habits, and beliefs that that are keeping you stuck. I pull from different modalities to meet your needs. Sometimes, we might have an exploratory session to increase self awareness or self compassion. Other times, we might engage in active behavioral experiments or exposures. Through our work together, you will learn to build skill and confidence to manage life’s stressors. While individual goals vary, I aim to help my clients live more consciously with more clarity and a better understanding and acceptance of self.

I'm happy to talk through any questions. Feel free to reach out!
