SHORELINE COUNSELING NJ

I believe that counseling is a journey of self-discovery in which the therapist and client work together to explore the client's current state of physical, mental, and emotional well being. Another important aspect of my work is the exploration of ineffective behaviors and patterns that are no longer useful to the client's well being. Many of these patterns are rooted in the person's past, and I believe that most people need to visit the past in order to fully understand why the things, feel, and behave the way they do.

Through counseling, my ultimate goal is to help clients overcome obstacles and develop healthy coping skills in an empathetic and supportive environment so that they can handle life's stresses in a productive way.

As a therapist, I believe that developing a therapeutic relationship in which a client feels safe, comfortable, and free to share without conformity or censorship. I strive to provide my clients with this type of setting while knowing they will receive the respect, authenticity, genuineness, acceptance, and understanding from me that they deserve.
