Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile!

I’ve been working in the mental health field in New Jersey since 2007, when I began my career toward becoming a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I soon settled into the role of clinical therapist, being recognized as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors, with a tendency to most frequently work with those coping with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.

In 2020, I left the community clinic I had been working with to form a private practice. Here, I can meet with and focus on my clients, providing each with the attention they deserve. One of the primary purposes of coming to therapy is to be heard. I am here to listen.

Not just listen, though! We work together to come up with a solution to the problem or issue you are working through. As we discuss what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past, we learn to tell the difference between a healthy, productive way to cope and a less-than-desirable way to deal with your problem.

Therapy should be uniquely tailored to each person. I work with clients to identify patterns of behavior that may have contributed to difficulties in relationships—with family, friends, or at work or school—and help find ways to create positive change. We learn to change our perspective on life, our past, our entire reality, and recognize that we really can control how we think and what we think about.

Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kelly. Taking this step is big. I provide a down-to-earth, humorous yet warmly empathetic space to spark real change (sweats and pet cameos are welcomed!). I help clients navigate trauma, stress, depression, parenting (and co-parenting), grief, as well as relationship and addiction challenges. Let's work together to find your path forward.

Is your child remarkably sweet, yet intensely difficult? Let's fill up your toolbox and reduce your stress.

You love your spouse but are the end of your rope. Relationships can be healed through accountability and communication to get back "that loving feeling."

I will help you and your loved ones improve communication to find peace and live a happier existence.

Now is the time to find your peace and finally live a happier existence. Act on the motivation you have today and meet me in session. You can conveniently book your session, to the right of my bio.

If you would like to chat briefly prior to booking, I would be happy to. My number is 973-245-9041 ... If not now, when?

Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.

I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
