My Values

Confidentiality

Cape May County is a small community and having a therapist in your town may cause you to wonder if your privacy can be guaranteed. Your privacy and confidentiality are my highest priority.

Code Of Ethics

Creativity

I am trained as a Marriage & Family Therapist, guided by Systemic Theory,, however considering what is unique about you requires a creative approach to each session.

Compassion

You can be confident that you will be met with compassion at every session. Regardless of what you are struggling with, your session will be a safe, judgement-free zone to explore any/all issues you've been carrying alone.

Acceptance

Your biggest critic is probably YOU! In your therapy you will be met with acceptance and care. You will discover that when you remove your own inner critic, you will be less judgmental of self / others and will learn to hold those accountable who judge you.
