Couples Counseling Therapists in Ocean County, NJ

"Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path." As a therapist, I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship, empathy, and encouragement create the "perfect storm" for positive change. My role in this process is to provide a safe space to motivate and encourage you to increase self-awareness, self-acceptance, and healthy and effective thoughts and behaviors.

Is your relationship with your partner not where you want it to be? Do you feel like you are fighting with the person you love most in your life? I can help you work to strengthen your relationship and bring it to the satisfying, fulfilling relationship that all humans wish for.

I have an eclectic approach to therapy. If you prefer a very clinical therapist, I’m not for you, unless particular clients would benefit from a more clinical approach. I love working with individuals who are navigating their life, including those with mental illnesses. (21 - 100yrs old), couples, including LGBTQ. I also coach and counsel those who have bipolar disorders, as well as educating them and their loved ones. I see adults with autistic spectrum disorders, depression, PTSD and anxiety. In addition, I also provide grief counseling and counseling to seriously Ill clients. I am the coach! You are the athlete!

Therapy is a delicate balance of acceptance and change. I use a person-centered approach to create a validating environment in which you can open up, feel genuinely cared for, and develop a trusting therapeutic relationship. I can guide you through the complex process of change. I can offer skills and techniques for improving your life in the short term while the work of learning how to change your thinking takes place. I primarily practice Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which I have extensive training and experience with, and also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Making change is a big part of counseling. In order to make change there needs to be motivation and with that motivation comes strength. Whether a client is experiencing anxiety, depression, abuse, crisis, conflict, behavioral issues, substance use, etc., it is important to find the inner strength each person has and use that to their advantage. Let our team help you find your inner strength! We have therapists on staff trained in EMDR and Sand Tray Therapy.
