Family therapy and counseling in New Jersey

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to resolve personal and relationship challenges, while developing healthy coping strategies and lifestyle habits that lead to a better quality of life. A central focus of my work is helping clients access, understand, and manage their emotions.

I support people navigating relational conflict, job-related stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame, guilt, fear, grief, ADHD and trauma. My training and personal and professional experience have equipped me to address matters of the heart while incorporating faith-based interventions that support holistic healing when appropriate.

I hold a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. My approach focuses on seeing the whole person rather than just symptoms.

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?
