Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Pennington, NJ covered by Cigna

Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.

I have helped individuals sort through hectic times. If you need someone to talk to with and empathetic ear, then feel free to reach out. I am accepting new clients evening hours after 8:30pm cst for clients in Texas, New Jersey, Utah, and Iowa. I have an additional focus on Men's Issues related to Infidelity, sexual dysfunction, and sex/porn addiction. I provide a safe space to work through these issues.

Are you feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by change, or weighed down by conflict in your relationships? Many of my clients come to me with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship issues, parenting stress, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Some are brand new to therapy, while others have tried it before and left feeling like they didn’t get where they hoped—maybe the fit wasn’t right, or progress stalled. They come ready to deepen insight, break old patterns, and truly level up in their personal growth.

I've spent ten years in mental health — nine of them in the intersection of addiction and trauma — and what I've learned is that clinical tools only work when they're explained in ways people can actually use outside the therapy room.

My approach is energetic and practical: I break things down in plain language, connect them to real-life situations, and help clients build skills they can apply immediately.
