Therapists in Cranford, NJ
First responders (Police, corrections, fire, EMS, dispatchers) respond to someone's worst day, be it in response to a criminal act, a medical emergency, natural disaster, or fire. They often do so multiple times per shift. Sometimes, internal organizational issues arise that can make their jobs even more difficult. When off duty, first responders still need to care for their families, their homes, and their finances. A career helping others can take its toll physically, emotionally, and mentally, and it can also deeply affect a first responder's quality of life off duty as well. Who can the first responder turn to in a time of need?

The ideal client is struggling with boundaries and stress management as they've begun caring for an aging parent while transitioning into a new career while maintaining a healthy marriage and sense of self. Caring for a parent comes with many experiences and emotions, as we can unexpectedly fall into the arena of grief and life as we know it. Maintaining healthy boundaries is an essential piece to effective communication and clarity.

Hey! Looking for a different, relaxed type of therapy? Maybe something unconventional? Tired of feeling depressed or anxious all the time? Maybe both? So many questions! Each of us may experience their own unique and evolving combination of symptoms - both positive and negative - and might feel overwhelmed. For some, this is a new feeling while others have felt this way for years. That's ok. It's never too late to try to get some help and talk to someone about what's going on. A team effort working together towards meeting your goals.

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life.

Life is full of change, both expected and unexpected. Things like marriage, parenting, work, school, divorce, illness, and death can feel overwhelming. Sometimes a major event can leave one feeling lost. Other times just coping with the day to day is a challenge. My clients often express that they are feeling scattered, anxious, angry, and sad. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families at different stages of their life-cycles. I specialize in helping them cope with their feelings, as they move through these periods of transition, so they can learn how to be resilient.
