Therapy That Fits the Person, Not the Other Way Around
Individualized therapy for children, teens, college students, young adults, and families in Cherry Hill, NJ.
No two people arrive at therapy with the same experiences, relationships, nervous system, strengths, or needs. I draw from attachment-focused, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, experiential, and evidence-based approaches to create therapy around the person in front of me.
Individual Therapy Across Ages & Stages
Different stages of life bring different challenges. Therapy should reflect that.
CHILD THERAPY
Childhood struggles don't always come out in words. Anxiety, big emotions, behavior changes, school difficulties, trauma, neurodivergence, or changes within the family can show up through meltdowns, avoidance, withdrawal, perfectionism, or behaviors that leave everyone feeling stuck. I use developmentally appropriate approaches including play, movement, creativity, relationship-based experiences, and caregiver involvement to help children feel safe enough to express, understand, and work through what they're experiencing.
TEEN THERAPY
Being a teenager can mean trying to figure out who you are while feeling pressure from nearly every direction. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, school avoidance, friendships, relationships, family conflict, identity, self-esteem, and the pressure to fit in can become overwhelming. Therapy gives teens a space where they don't have to perform or have the right answer. We can slow things down, understand what's happening underneath the surface, and work toward changes that actually matter to them.
COLLEGE STUDENTS & YOUNG ADULTS
Young adulthood can look exciting from the outside while feeling incredibly uncertain on the inside.College, work, independence, relationships, family expectations, ADHD, anxiety, identity, and figuring out what comes next can leave you feeling overwhelmed or behind.Therapy can help you understand patterns, manage what's overwhelming you, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, and navigate adulthood in a way that feels more like your own.
What Can Therapy Help With?
You don't need to know what type of therapy you need before reaching out. Most people start with what isn't working, what feels overwhelming, or what they wish could be different.
I work with children, teens, young adults, and families experiencing concerns including:
ANXIETY & OVERWHELM
Worry • Panic • Perfectionism • Fears • Avoidance • Reassurance seeking • Social anxiety • Emotional overwhelm
AUTISM & NEURODIVERGENCE
Sensory needs • Masking • Communication • Self-advocacy • Social relationships • Identity • Burnout • Feeling different
TRAUMA, ATTACHMENT & RELATIONSHIPS
Traumatic experiences • Adoption • Loss • Attachment disruptions • Trust • Family changes • Relationship patterns • Feeling unsafe or disconnected
ADHD & EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
Attention • Organization • Time management • Motivation • Task initiation • Impulsivity • Emotional regulation • School/college demands
SCHOOL & COLLEGE STRUGGLES
School avoidance • School refusal • Academic anxiety • Executive functioning • Peer difficulties • Transitions • College adjustment • Feeling overwhelmed
DEPRESSION, SELF-ESTEEM & IDENTITY
Withdrawal • Low motivation • Negative self-talk • Feeling different • Self-esteem • Identity • Belonging • Life transitions
Parent-Child & Attachment Therapy
When the relationship itself needs support.
Sometimes the struggle isn't happening only within a child. Parents and children can become caught in patterns of conflict, disconnection, control, avoidance, or misunderstanding that leave everyone exhausted.
I offer attachment-focused parent-child therapy to help strengthen connection, increase felt safety, support co-regulation, and help parents and children experience one another differently.
As a Certified Foundational Theraplay® Practitioner, I use playful, interactive, relationship-based experiences to strengthen attachment and support healthier patterns between children and their caregivers.
Family Therapy
Different stages of life bring different challenges. Therapy should reflect that.
Families can get caught in patterns where everyone feels misunderstood, reactive, or disconnected.
Family therapy creates space to slow those patterns down, understand what is happening between family members, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier ways of responding to one another.
Family therapy may be helpful for:
Parent-child conflict • Sibling relationships • Family transitions • Communication difficulties • Attachment and connection • Neurodivergence within the family • Repeating patterns of conflict
Co-Parenting & Divorce
You don't have to agree about everything to create a healthier co-parenting relationship.
Co-parenting therapy focuses on helping separated or divorced parents communicate more effectively, reduce conflict, establish clearer boundaries, and make child-centered decisions without pulling children into adult disagreements.
This work is focused on the co-parenting relationship rather than reconciliation of the romantic relationship.
