"Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression, psychotherapy can help you discover new perspectives and approaches for problems that are keeping you stuck. Exploring emotions and beliefs underlying self-defeating patterns of behavior creates opportunities for positive change and growth. Over 20 years of clinical experience combined with extensive training in specialized treatments for healing trauma and attachment wounds enables me to provide a customized approach to meet client’s goals. "

"I believe that a safe and trusting relationship with the therapist is the key to change in therapy. It takes courage and the ability to be vulnerable to look at ourselves honestly. I will provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental atmosphere. We will work together to identify the obstacles that are blocking your growth. I will be your guide in trying to help you increase your awareness of what your needs are so that the changes you desire in your life can occur."

"Assistance in full emotional health serving children, adolescents, adults, and families. Severe familial conflict, depression and anxiety, and trauma related disorders. Attentional and disruptive behavior disorders. Forensic psychological services and assessment. A Cognitive-Behavioral approach is emphasized."

"I specialize in providing individually tailored, evidence-based psychotherapy with a focus on increasing self-understanding - the way one makes sense of their own history, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and the examination of how and why individuals often engage in distressing or ineffective behaviors. I assist patients in improving their awareness of these patterns, and in the process make changes to allow for a richer and more meaningful life. I am currently licensed as a psychologist in the states of New York and New Jersey."

"One of the most important predictors of success in therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable to share their thoughts and feelings openly. I am passionate about collaborating with clients in a warm and safe environment which is free of judgement in order to work toward the best life possible. Together, we will identify personal strengths and motivating factors in order to facilitate positive change. Since people are not "one size fits all," I use many different approaches during therapy in order to customize treatment for each and every client."

"As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life."

"*** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!*** Trust, safety, and collaboration are important factors in building upon a strong therapeutic relationship. I encourage and assist clients to manage their lives and stressors in order to create long-term change. As a counselor, I view a client non-judgmentally, empathetically, and holistically. I utilize multiple approaches, to work with each client based upon their individual needs, including Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art or Expressive Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)."

"My approach to treatment is to ensure that my clients are comfortable within sessions. I like to maintain a strong therapeutic relationship to provide the utmost care. I conduct my sessions through a Person-Centered lens, but utilize other skills and treatment modalities to produce a treatment plan that best suits the individual. I see my clients as capable, intelligent and strong individuals who can gain insight and control over their lives. I provide a safe, comfortable, empowering, and supportive environment to guide, educate and inform my clients on how to overcome their struggles, feel that empowerment and enjoy life."

"It has been said that life is mostly about showing up and moving forward. I have worked in the field for 15 years and feel called to my profession of counseling. I know that showing up can be difficult at times, but is so important to me personally and professionally. I work with clients and am passionate about my work, but also am a very warm, compassionate, caring person. I have worked in various settings of outpatient and case management and specifically like a challenge. I consider myself a work in progress and am successful with working collaboratively with clients for 15 years. "

"Are you facing an overwhelming stressor, a challenge in a relationship or a problem in your sex life?

As a psychologist, I offer a safe, confidential, and supportive place for you to tell your story and be heard without judgment.

"Do you find yourself feeling worried regarding your family, relationship or work? Are you concerned about your child's behavior or your relationship with them? Many of my clients have considerable insight into their situation, but most find it difficult to change unproductive behavioral patterns or just "make" themselves feel better. I believe that change begins with knowing that no one is perfect...that every once in awhile we can all benefit from someone who will listen and guide us through our personal journeys."

"Depression, anxiety, and fear are three emotions that can hinder individuals from leading happy, productive lives. I have extensive training in these areas that help my clients to alleviate, if not eliminate the distressing circumstances that cause emotional pain. If you've ever been abused emotionally or physically, have experienced a traumatic event, feel stuck in an unfulfilling relationship, or struggle with daily life stressors, I know I can help you through it."

"I hear you - life feels like a constant struggle now. But you're here because you know there's more to your life than feeling like a f*ck-up, out of control, or living behind a mask. When there's so much outside noise, misplaced expectations, and uncertainty about your value to the world, it can suck the life right out of you. It doesn't matter how many boxes you check off your list, or how many self-help books you read, things don't click into place. If they do, the change certainly doesn't last."

"I enjoy working with clients with a variety of issues. These include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, parenting, sexual abuse, identity issues, employment, menopause, spirituality and assertiveness. Every person is unique so I focus on helping them realize their strengths as well as the areas they would like to grow and develop in. My approach is positive and affirmative. As a result of my comprehensive training, I am able to tailor therapy to each individual's needs and desires."

"Therapy is a sacred experience between patient and therapist. As a clinician I believe it is imperative to provide trust, empathy, education, guidance, encouragement, and communication skills. It is a courageous step to enter treatment and work toward the process of change. I applaud your courage and look forward to working with you."

I also provide classes for Stress Management, Couples Communication, and Parenting. My passion is to initiate and bring to fruition the healing process.

"Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, or depressed dealing with life's difficulties? You are not alone as many people in different stages of their lives come across a bump in the road. I have the expertise to help you deal with these issues. Working from a strengths based perspective, I believe it is important to recognize the progress you have already made dealing with these life issues.
