Nothing changes if nothing changes. This is my motto that I live by and I empower and encourage my clients to begin to think and live the same way. I am an experienced therapist that uses an eclectic approach when treating my clients. Each person is unique, and everyone walked down a different path – so I tailor my treatment approach the same way. I am solution focused and use a strength-based approach. I am EMDR trained and I interweave CBT with motivational interviewing. My passion as a therapist is working with those with addiction disorders. I am certified to also work with victims of domestic violence and have experience working with those struggling with depression, bipolar, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, family conflict, marital discord, and parenting issues. The most rewarding experience however, is when I get to witness the positive change that will start emanating from you. You will feel more empowered and more in control of your life, and I will be here to help you with this journey. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” -Gandhi

”I am a Licensed Social worker and received my master’s degree at Daemen College. I work with children and adolescents..
A child’s or adolescent’s struggles with negative behaviors, difficult feelings, or unhealthy relationships, can impact the rest of his or her life. However, addressing these challenges during the child’s and adolescent’s developmental years can set the stage for a happier and healthier future.
Every parent desires the very best for his or her child. But when children and adolescents are faced with complex or difficult emotional issues, their lack of life experience and coping skills can make those issues extremely difficult to overcome. That’s where I come in to help.
I believe that by creating a compassionate, safe, and non- judgmental space and using a variety of therapy approaches, such as CBT, Play Therapy, and Strengths Based Therapy, we can establish a trusting and positive relationship it takes to bring about real and lasting change.

Pam’s compassionate practice helps individuals and teens navigate the complexities of life with strength, hope and calm.
In my practice, I combine evidence-based techniques with creativity and empathy, tailoring my approach to each individual. I believe everyone has an “inner artist” capable of creating a life of meaning, strength, and joy—and I’m here to help you uncover yours.
For adults, I focus on treating and relieving anxiety, support through life transitions, healing trauma, addressing substance use, working through depression to recover joy and managing stress. For teens, ages 13+, I provide a supportive environment tailored to the unique challenges of adolescence. From academic stress to social pressures, I help teens build confidence, explore their identities, and develop the tools they need to thrive.
I obtained my Master’s Degree from Monmouth University and have had the opportunity to work with clients of all ages in substance use disorder treatment, community agencies, disaster response at the United Nations, group and art therapy.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I invite you to reach out. Whether for yourself or your teen, I’d be honored to work with you.
