Therapist

Virtual • Hackettstown, NJ


I work with adolescents and adults, employing a cognitively based, brief therapy approach in a supportive and compassionate environment. I believe that we all possess inner strengths and untapped potential. While we cannot change the circumstances of the past, we can develop new perspectives and learn to accept them without regret. Together, we can learn to find comfort in what was once uncomfortable. We will then collaborate to build new techniques that enable you to grow resilient, find strength, and lead a life worth celebrating.
