As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey with decades of experience , I understand that taking the first step to reach out for help and outside support oftentimes can be hard. In fact, doing so is a sign of strength. Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed at home or work; do you have strained relationships with others , unresolved issues from your past, or not feeling good about yourself? Whatever challenges you are currently facing or obstacles getting in the way of your inner peace and happiness, it is important for you to find a safe place where you feel respected, valued and affirmed. I utilize a strength based, reality and client centered approach in working with individuals, couples and families. Here, you will be listened to with empathy and compassion. The bottom line is you are not alone. We will work together to navigate your journey toward a better, brighter and more fulfilling tomorrow. One of my clients said it best (used with her permission) "Each week it feels like you ask to hold something heavy that I've been carrying for years. You have me explain how I got it, why I've kept it and why I no longer need or want to carry it anymore. By doing that, you keep it for me and I don't have to pick that weight back up. You've made me feel so much lighter, thank you". Therapy will be a journey we will navigate together and it will be my honor to do so.
