I consider it a sacred privilege to assist my clients in finding best solutions to the emotional, situational, and spiritual difficulties they are facing.
I provide psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and life's deeper existential questions. I know that reaching out for support takes real courage—allowing yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger about what matters most is no small thing. I recognize the privilege of walking alongside you during this time, and I'm committed to providing the highest quality care as you work toward meaningful change. Finding the right therapist is about finding the right connection, and I believe therapy should be as unique as you are.
I bring a trans-disciplinary perspective shaped by formal education in social work, psychology, theater, and literature—an approach that honors the full complexity of human experience. I primarily work within third-wave cognitive behavioral frameworks, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
My work is flexible and collaborative. You define what you need and want at every point in our journey together, and we tailor our approach to fit your specific goals and circumstances. My job, ultimately, is to become obsolete to you—to help you build the skills, insights, and confidence to navigate your life with authenticity and resilience.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Red Bank, NJ provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Red Bank is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
Whether you’re battling anxiety or coping with a significant loss, licensed psychologists can guide you in your journey to overcoming the problems holding you back. If there is something difficult that you’re dealing with and you’re in need of extra support, you’re in the right place. Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Red Bank, we have a team of psychologists who are readily available to help. In fact, they can help you as soon as tomorrow. All you have to do is give our office a call to schedule an appointment. Reach out today for help.
Before starting to work with a psychologist, you might be wondering what their job is exactly. Psychologists are highly trained, educated, and experienced mental health professionals who help their clients work through many issues. To do so, they use a variety of mental health techniques and methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-based therapy, person-centered therapy, management techniques, meditation exercises, and more. Psychologists do not administer medication to their clients; however, they will work with their client’s psychiatrist or primary care provider to decide which prescription their client should take if that is the best course of action.
The psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Red Bank are dedicated to providing client-focused care with an emphasis on individualized treatment plans. When you choose to work with us, you can be sure to receive a custom plan of action that is based on your unique goals, needs, and concerns. This route allows our mental health professionals to accurately diagnose and target the thoughts and difficult emotions associated with the issues you are having.
The short answer is yes! Psychologists have a broad range of knowledge and can help you work through whatever mental health problem might be standing in your way. Maybe one of your parents was just diagnosed with cancer and you don’t know how to cope with it. Or perhaps you went through something traumatic as a child and are just now realizing that some of your behaviors could be directly linked back to what happened all those years ago. Whatever the reason, we have your back.
The most common reasons why clients choose to work with us are…
Are you tired of not knowing what’s causing the issues in your life? Are you ready to make meaningful changes in your life? Do you wish that you could live a less stressed life?
