Hi there!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I support high functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed, irritable, burned out, and stuck beneath the surface.

You are holding it together--but it's getting harder. Let's change that. I hold space for you to be yourself, to feel heard, and validated. I focus on your strengths. If desired, I teach skills to help you in managing your symptoms and concerns, and more. I am passionate and see this work as a calling, and this passion shows up in the counseling space and during your mental health journey.

You look like you're doing okay on the outside--but underneath, you're overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, and carrying more than most people realize.

Maybe you're constantly overthinking, feeling on edge, or burned out from trying to keep everything together. You might feel stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, no matter how hard you try.

You don't have to keep pushing through it alone.

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space while also being direct and goal-oriented. I understand that many individuals come to therapy during difficult or uncertain times, and my role is to help you gain clarity, stability, and direction.

I have extensive experience working with individuals managing complex life stressors, including legal involvement, trauma, and mental health challenges. I also have a strong background in working with clients who may need additional structure, support, or guidance in navigating systems and life transitions.

My approach is collaborative—I meet you where you are while also helping you move forward with practical tools and strategies. I value honesty, consistency, and building a therapeutic relationship that feels both safe and productive.

I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with people who feel lost—whether that shows up as uncertainty, disconnection, chaos, or a sense of not quite fitting in your own life. Together, we create space to slow down, make sense of and manage challenges in your life whether that’s in men’s issues (such as communication, emotional expression, identity, relationship & societal expectations), women’s issues (such as people-pleasing, boundaries, self-worth, life transitions, expectations from others), relationships, parenting, career changes, and patterns of self-defeating choices. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on building self-acceptance, clarity, and trust in yourself as you find your way forward.

I have experience working with adults and teens navigating mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, as well as substance use and recovery. I use evidence-based approaches to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe in humor and humanity in the therapy space as our therapeutic relationship is essential to making things work!

I have over twenty years of experience working as a counselor. I believe in taking the time to invest in helping people see their own solutions to their problems. I prefer to walk with them on the journey to find these solutions as a shared approach. I sincerely do care about the person and getting to know each and every one I work with by meeting them where they are at. I am willing to incorporate some faith based (Christian) perspectives into treatment if asked yet I will not push this on you. I believe that we all have stories to tell and that these stories shape our every day life. My goal is to help people work on their anxiety, depression or other issues related to their daily lives in a way that they can become more active and healthy in their lives and relationships around them.

Hello! I’m Shel (he/she/they), a white genderfluid therapist working in a systemic lens of individual therapy. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and people of the global majority. I have training in CPTSD-focused mindful psychodynamic therapy, IFS and working with people who use substances. My degree is in Marriage and Family Therapy, so I bring a relational perspective to individual therapy. I use compassion, warmth, and humor to create a non-judgmental and open space for healing. I believe through healing past trauma and building a connection to one’s intuition/wise mind and community, we can withstand hardship in the path of liberation and empowerment of all people.

I’m deeply committed to providing nonjudgmental, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care. I understand that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I take the time to listen, learn, and adapt to what works best for you.

I don’t expect perfection — I expect real people, with real experiences, showing up as they are. I bring not only clinical expertise but also lived understanding of how layered and complex healing can be. You’ll never have to shrink or code-switch in my care — your story, identity, and truth are all welcome here.

I am a clinically trained psychotherapist practicing in NJ, NY, MA, and PA. I work with individuals, couples, and families across all ages—from children and teens to college students and busy professionals. I also have experience supporting married couples facing marital challenges.
