More than likely, you started your career as a therapist in an agency setting –
Surrounded by a wealth of wisdom and support.
A mentor or supervisor by your side – colleagues right down the hall – staff meetings and training.
And you loved every minute – so much that, eventually, you felt confident enough to try your hand at private practice – to make everything your own – to create the practice of your dreams.
But soon after, you realized just how many things you’d have to navigate.
How hard you’d have to work through your own blockages and issues surrounding that new shingle hanging outside your office.
If you were like most of us, you were, at first, naïve and idealistic. You were passionate about pursuing a profession that helped others (I call it the “Save the World Syndrome”).
As we all find out soon enough, it’s just more complicated than that.
Problematic ethical considerations arise.
To maximize your clinical use of self, process counter-transference issues – thoroughly.
There’s always more to learn in deepening your knowledge and applying the theory.
Oh, and now, you must contend with the fundamental component of running a business, something they never taught you in school.
Not only do I love working with clients, but I love mentoring new practitioners as they develop and shape their identity in private practice.
We all have a unique style and varying methods of helping our clients.
I can teach you to strengthen your assessment skills, zoning in on specific, results-oriented treatment goals – so you can assist your clients in working through resistance to growth and treatment.
We’ll work together to explore your clients’ psychopathology, a complicated family of origin dynamics, and possibilities of transference.
Let me be your sounding board for new ideas and complex ethical issues.
Let me help you navigate some random confusion, guide you on the nuts and bolts of the business side, boost your confidence, and help you strategize your networking.
And most of all, let me help you develop a personal work/life balance.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel or go it alone.
Whether you’re looking for clinical supervision hours from an experienced LCSW in New Jersey to get licensure OR to solidify your clinical skills, I can help.

I’ve been working in the field for over 20 years and in private practice for 12 years. I’d be honored to share my expertise with you and facilitate your journey.
