Self Esteem Therapists in Flemington, NJ

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor for almost 20 years, I am a highly trained and experienced therapist who has a thorough understanding of the complex needs and challenges that our children, adolescents, and young adults face today. I utilize a multi-modal approach that is tailored to fit the needs of each individual served.

When I think of my work as a therapist, what lifts my spirit is the enormous potential of people for living a full life; a potential they are often unaware of. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Therapy helps to identify them and develop the tools to improve their lives. The goals: enhanced self-esteem, reduced tension, more expressiveness....a fuller life. Whether I work with the child, adolescent, adult, individual, couple or family, I find the work inspiring.

Ellie Mental Health Central NJ isn’t your average therapy clinic. We’ve created a comfy, judgment-free zone where you can be authentic, get real about where you’re at in your mental health, and receive the compassionate care you deserve. We strive to break down treatment barriers and provide you with customized counseling services that meet your therapy needs.

I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families from diverse backgrounds and a range of presenting issues. I have been successful in treating adolescents and adults for depression, anxiety, stress management, marital and relationship difficulties, anger management, and Attention Deficit Disorder. My philosophy is that people are often resistant to change as the change is unknown. I help them explore what that change would look and feel like and how it could improve their lives if they do decide to make those changes.

In moments of profound suffering, extreme loss, darkness and confusion, we seek the light of hope and healing. Transformation is obtainable when we find a trusting guide to help us navigate through the many layers of emotions that seem to paralyze us in our tracks. In my 35 years as a clinical social worker/ psychotherapist, I have found my true calling in the areas of bereavement, traumatic loss and assisting those with challenging life issues.

We often move through life carrying wounds that prevent us from living life fully. I value providing you with a safe, judgment free zone, where you can embark on a personal journey to deeply explore and heal from the issues that have fueled your life struggles. I take special interest in treating trauma stemming from either childhood or adulthood as well as relationship difficulties including attachment patterns and relationship compatibility. I am also well versed in a wide array of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, sleep, and body image issues.
