“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow”- Mary Anne Ramacher.

We ALL struggle from time to time with handling our emotions, life challenges, and self-identity. Engaging in mental health counseling and trusting a mental health professional to help and assist you with these issues is a wise and brave choice. I believe counseling is about personal growth and wellness. I believe we ALL can benefit from therapy because at the end of the day it is about unloading the emotional baggage we are trying to deal with on a daily basis. There is always a "Silver Lining" in everyday life and embracing challenges - and change. I believe that learning to understand, cope with, and move forward from your challenges should take place in a safe, judgment-free, and peaceful environment with a mental health therapist you can trust. Rather than focusing on diagnoses, I focus on helping you find ways to improve your life, minimize stress and worry, and discover the confidence you need to be the best version of yourself. At the end of the day we could all use a therapist. I want to break the stigma that mental health carries and I want people to realize there is a "Silver Lining."

It is no secret that life can test us at any given moment. One minute we can be living our best lives and the next we can be dealing with a challenge we thought we would never have to face. As humans, during times of anguish and heartache, we tend to focus on the negatives instead of the positives. Questions like, “why is this happening to me?”, “is this ever going to get better?”, and “why is it always one thing after another?” tend to fill our minds, making it seem impossible to be happy again. My goal as your therapist is to ensure you get back to living your best life!

Are you looking to make a shift? I am licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I believe therapy can be seen as a process of unpacking. Things often go unsaid, which can manifest into various effects on the body, such as anxiety. Although staying with your emotions can be difficult, it can often be the pathway to healing. My clinical experience has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of our environment and relationships, as well as the positive shifts that can take place when offered supportive and validating resources. I use empathy, exploration, and empowerment to help my clients achieve their goals. I work with relational issues, communication, problems with sex and/or intimacy, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger management, various mental and emotional disorders, aging parents, affective disorders, job related stress, social stressors, grief, self-esteem, and other challenges. My previous work with the Essex County Sexual Assault and Violence Education Center has helped me gain experience in the treatment of trauma. I hold therapeutic process groups and find that they help offer a safe environment for my clients to share experiences and find ways to better cope.
