ABOUT
A supportive space for healing using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
​​
At MacDonald Counseling in Tinton Falls, NJ, I provide a supportive space for healing using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Whether you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck, I’ll help you build psychological flexibility, process difficult experiences, and move toward a more fulfilling life.
Together, we’ll focus on what truly matters to you, developing skills to navigate challenges with clarity and purpose. I am a registered STAR Behavioral Health provider and have had success working with active military, veterans and their family members. Together, we will work toward healing, resilience, and lasting change.
SPECIALTIES
I offer individual and group therapy to adults with expertise in the treatment of substance abuse and dependence (for both the person experiencing a substance use disorder and their loved ones), anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am a trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with trauma related struggles.
