Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in New Jersey

Hello and welcome! I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about working with individuals and families seeking positive change and compassionate support. I specialize in working with diverse clients, especially young adults, who are navigating through life transitions and who are experiencing anxiety/stress, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression and grief/loss. I believe that while pain is inevitable and often uncontrollable, suffering is a choice based on how we process, cope and react to challenges that life throws our way. Therefore, I am focused on ensuring that my clients gain the necessary insight, skills and practical tools to learn how to honor and express their pain without allowing it to control them. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I aim to uniquely tailor therapy sessions to each client’s needs by utilizing a variety of techniques that expand insight and encourage emotional, behavioral and cognitive change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing services to individuals, adults, and families. I have been in this field for several years. I have worked in a variety of settings including in-home/in-community, outpatient, and supportive housing. I have experiencing working with depression, anxiety, parenting, stress management, LGBTQ and many more. I frequently utilize Person-centered theory, CBT skills, teach benefits of ‘radical acceptance’ and the benefits of living in the ‘here and now’. I am a believer in the wisdom of the ‘Serenity Prayer’.

Finding a safe space where you can let go of worry about being judged or accepted is hard. I hope to provide you the ease, comfort, and safety in the virtual therapy room you've been seeking. I am a licensed psychotherapist and certified yoga instructor with a virtual private practice based in New York State. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ matters, women's obstacles, and race and identity concerns. My work entails deconstructing white supremacy, patriarchy, capitalism, and colonization as it relates to your identity. I offer a unique and holistic approach to therapy by integrating yoga and meditation into your experience. Each session with me begins with a personalized yoga practice, transitions to talk therapy, and closes with a guided meditation. As a compassion-focused therapist, I hope to help you develop a compassionate self while building hard skills you can use in your day to day.
