How can I help you?

I focus on each individual client’s needs to create a treatment plan that is solution focused. We will work on identifying triggers/problem areas and process them while learning and practicing new coping skills until they become routine. I am a  DBT informed therapist (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy) which focuses on helping clients learn mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal skills, and distress tolerance skills. I am also a Certified Intuitive Eating therapist and have completed a wide range of Carolin Costin Institute trainings for Eating Disorder treatment. I incorporate the 8 Keys to Recovery in my sessions with clients healing from Eating Disorders. I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. I follow an anti-diet and Health At Every Size philosophy where I hope to help clients heal from diet culture and the societal pressure to be thin in order to love themselves and find enjoyment and love in their lives again.

Who am I?

I am a passionate healer who cares about the well-being of her clients. I am a former dieter and suffered from negative self-talk and negative body image. I am currently working towards radical self-love but I recognize it is a life-long journey. I love to read and learn more about mental health while also enjoying a good thriller or romance novel. I am working on my own mindfulness practice and enjoy going on walks in nature.

Telehealth 

I currently offer telehealth therapy. I am licensed to practice in NJ, Florida, Vermont, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, and South Carolina.

In-person therapy

I  offer in-person therapy in Manasquan on Monday and Wednesday afternoon and evenings.

This fee is not reimbursed by your insurance company. We are mindful of all of our clients busy schedules and you must keep in mind that if you don’t keep your appointment, that spot could have been given to another client in need.

Social Media Policy

Due to the importance of your confidentiality and the importance of minimizing dual relationships, I do not accept friend or contact requests from current or former clients on any social networking site (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). Adding clients as friends or contacts on these sites can compromise your confidentiality and our respective privacy. It may also blur the boundaries of our therapeutic relationship. If you have questions about this, please bring them up when we meet and we can talk more about it.
