Yes, the world may be becoming more complex, but that doesn’t mean that we cannot create new habits that make our lives a bit simpler. Helping to strengthen and develop successful coping strategies to improve life situations. My passion is to ultimately empower others to manage their own lives independently. Some people struggle with rejection, anxiety, depression; others are looking for help in processing their emotions or just need an extra ear. Sometimes just talking with someone and being able to process with one who is nonjudgmental is what we all need. Let's seek clarity and meaning together.

I've been a Teen and Adult Psychologist for over 30+ years. Do you have questions about your teen's academic, emotional and/or social functioning? Does he/she struggle with anxiety, depression, motivation, learning, ADHD and peer issues? Are you asking yourself how to best respond? Let me review previous test results, contact your school, other professionals, and/or MD to start your family on the road to health and well-being. I also work with adults who are going through a range of issues including, relationship difficulties, marital and multigenerational conflict resolution. Contact me for a 15 min free consult.

I invite individuals, couples, and families to collaborate with me on finding their purpose, healing their hearts, and working toward positive change. The power of a healing, safe space can improve your own well-being as well as deepen the connection you have with others. If you want to improve your relationship with your partner, your child/ren, or even yourself, give me a call today.

Our lives today are hectic and stressful, more so than ever before. Much of the time we are on automatic pilot, running from one activity to the next. What often suffers most are ourselves and our relationships. Tension, worry, anxiety and depression are often a consequence. We have less and less time and energy to invest in our personal relationships, including our significant others and our children. Technology pulls people even further apart. We end up feeling disconnected, even unloved. We often feel powerless to make changes, feeling stuck and often hopeless. Many of us live our lives like this.

We will work collaboratively to identify challenges that are getting in the way of having a rewarding and successful life. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach, focusing on how patterns in your thinking and behaviors could be impacting how you feel. I combine acceptance-based strategies, mindfulness, and goal-oriented techniques. We'll focus on solving problems and reducing bothersome symptoms brought about by anxiety, depression, or the stress of daily life. Treatment is tailored to meet your needs, and we will work together to get you to where you want to be in your life.

Please call me for an initial courtesy phone consultation. In our initial discussion, we can talk about how we can work together to achieve your goals and identify target areas. I offer a productive, contemporary approach to counseling informed by person-centered therapy, using a combination of cognitive, dialectical behavioral techniques, and positive psychology. My practice extends from New York City to New Jersey, where I provide services to individuals and families in Livingston and the surrounding areas.

I know the idea of starting therapy may be scary and uncertain, but having someone to talk to who listens may be the first step to a better life. Discussing your current problems or past traumas with a skilled and empathic listener is a way of working through life events or difficult relationships whether at home, work or school. Therapy can help you identify underlying issues or inner conflicts that get in the way of realizing your highest potential and achieving your dreams.

Taking the step to enter into therapy takes courage and demonstrates a high level of personal commitment. It is a risk, and that risk needs to be acknowledged. Each of us has needs that should be met with flexibility and adaptation if we are to feel secure in sharing our private lives with another. My therapeutic approach is guided by theory and 10 years of clinical experience. At the same time, I provide a reliable, empathic, and safe environment for you to gain deeper insight into who you are and what you need, in order to find greater meaning and enjoyment in life.

If your life isn't what you'd like it to be, it may be time to seek help. You may be using alcohol or drugs to help you cope. Your marriage and life may be impacted by greater stress. Past traumas may be activated. Anxiety may be high. I am both an LCSW and LCADC with extensive training in IFS, EMDR, DBT, and EFT, and can help you develop effective coping skills as well as guide you to find more balance internally. Whether you are struggling with addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma or just "overwhelm," you will be better equipped to handle your life. You don't need to figure this out by yourself - reach out.

I practice from a systems perspective which means I will take the time to get to know you, as well as, take the time to understand what is happening around you. This allows me to begin to understand the multiple dimensions that make you the person you are today. We will work together to explore the areas of your life you want to learn more about and potentially shift. We will also work together to set goals to make those changes possible. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy).

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in both New Jersey and New York.

I also provide psychological testing for differential diagnosis, psychoeducational evaluations, and cognitive/executive functioning difficulties.

People can heal from abuse, trauma, loss, grief, broken relationships, and life-changing events. Talking with a trusted professional makes a difference. I step into genuine relationships with my clients. I encourage and challenge my clients to do the same with their loved ones and family members. Healing happens in connection with others, and by strengthening emotional bonds, we become more available to renewal and restoration of our emotional selves. We let go of our emotional baggage! It is such an honor and pleasure to walk beside my clients and witness their journey back to wholeness and happiness.

It is not easy taking the step to entering yourself or someone you care about into psychotherapy.

Our mental health professionals are all Licensed Clinical Psychologists, with a combined background in child/adolescent and adult psychotherapy. We accept several major insurance plans and are currently accepting new patients.

Life brings challenges to all of us; I understand this on a personal level. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience guiding and advocating for people who suffer from depression, anxiety and personality disorders. I've worked firsthand with terminally ill patients and provided grief counseling to their families.

Developing trust and a rapport with a client is critical to ultimate success, and is especially important when working with pre-teens through young adults. This is one of my strengths and a key component in the therapy. I have worked primarily in addressing the following areas: anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, familial discord, stressors associated with the college application process, relationship issues, and also working with student athletes.
