Therapists Beginning With M in New Jersey

Finding the right therapist is a difficult task, but hopefully I can make it a bit easier. I offer a free 15 minute consultation, during which you can ask me any questions you may have and we can decide if working together will be beneficial. Our initial sessions will be a time we build the foundation to ultimately what your goals are and we track your progress along the way.

I am dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and their families, using art as a therapeutic tool to create a world of healing, growth, and self-discovery. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve my clients in this way and look forward to continuing this journey of compassion, creativity, and connection.

In these challenging times, I believe the exploration of our experience of being and the understanding of our longing for meaningful connections with others can be a driving force toward change. In our work in therapy we will deepen the understanding of yourself, discover what you want and need from others, and how to solve issues of the past that are still alive today. We will explore how old patterns get in the way, and work toward a personal narrative that is based in self-compassion, acceptance, and human connection.

While supporting clients' personal growth by supporting identification of values, strengths and goals, I emphasize practical strategies to address the challenges of everyday life. As a parent, I enjoy supporting other parents seeking support with managing challenging emotions of parenthood coupled with behavioral strategies to support their children with ADHD, mental health or behavioral challenges. Additionally I support older teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, emotion regulation or perfectionism.

I use traditional psychotherapy to examine conscious and unconscious motivations, as revealed through analysis of the client's discussion, creative works and dreams. I have been trained in hypnotherapy and integrate this tool as part of the treatment. In addition I have been working with the courts doing Custody Neutral Assessments, assisting the court to resolve custody issues.

We may wisely withdraw, or hold, around moments of threat and overwhelm. But if holding becomes our automatic way of being, even as circumstances change, we may feel increasingly disconnected and less alive. By slowing down, giving ourselves time to notice changes in our experience, we can explore different responses. As we make space in our immediate (experience, relationship and environment) for what is happening now, we can experiment with holding less. And, as we engage our bodies without as much holding, our possibilities for moving, breathing, feeling alive and in relationship to what is beyond us - widen.

If you are looking at this statement then you are already taking the positive steps you need to achieve the life you want. Everyone struggles at times with overwhelming emotions and difficult choices and I believe that you do not have to struggle alone. Whether it is relationships, career stress, family dynamics, issues of gender/ sexual identity issues, or life stage changes I am here to help you find your own path.

Do you find that you're having difficulty adjusting to new circumstances? Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed or confused by life stressors such as work and/or school. Perhaps you want some assistance in navigating the relationships in your life. Most of us have been there at some point in our lives, including myself. How you experience your world and cope with your feelings influences every part of you. We each deserve a safe place to share these experiences, learn to cope with these feelings, and feel empowered to make a change. I strive to provide a nurturing, non-judgmental environment in which you feel supported to do just that.

Life is too short to let the everyday burdens we face create turmoil, and gain control over our emotions. Our feelings can control us or we can learn to control them. A situation, person, place, or thing only has the power to control our feelings...if we let it. It is our responsibility (and only ours) to control our feelings and behavior. Thus, we can find true contentment and serenity.
