Depression

Great to meet you!

I graduated from Centenary University in Hackettstown, NJ with a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Counseling. I also received a Master’s of Science in Addictions Counseling from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. Through my internships and post graduate work I have been involved with traditional outpatient care as well as higher levels of care such as Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is warm and interactive, I believe in asking thoughtful questions that cause clients to think and look deeper. I also inquire about my clients’ beliefs and background to get a better picture of who they are and what shaped them. It also allows me to be sensitive and respectful of cultural needs and differences. Appointments are available by request. I do require a fifteen to twenty minute phone screen prior to the first appointment. I prefer to schedule with clients at that time.

What you can expect from our first session

It is important to provide a warm space in which clients can identify their strengths and reframe their negative thought patterns or self beliefs. I like to think that my clients leave feeling hopeful and that they have developed a sense of peace about themselves and how the fit into the world around them.
