Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in 07661

Change is hard. Despite our best intentions, we get stuck in the same habits, thoughts and feelings. If you’re feeling anxious or depressed, wanting more out of your relationships, or seeking a more meaningful and nourishing day-to-day, let me help you get “unstuck” and take that first step. As a clinical psychologist, I offer a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we can explore challenges, establish goals, and work together to attain them. You'll learn to utilize your strengths to develop coping mechanisms for overwhelming feelings or thoughts, deepen your relationships, and make sustainable changes to your own life.

Pain is an unfortunate reality of the human experience. Sometimes, our attempts to control or avoid pain, whether it's physical, psychological, or otherwise, also pulls us away from other things in our lives that are important to us, resulting in a less fulfilling life. Your decision to pursue therapy is a significant step towards finding a more workable way to manage the things in your life that cause pain. My therapeutic approach is focused on learning to step out of the struggle against your pain and use the strengths you already possess to put you in the driver's seat of your life and be your best and most genuine self.

In my practice I work with adults coping with depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relationship struggles, substance abuse and other problems of adjustment. My work with children and adolescents include: learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, oppositional defiance, anxiety, depression, and family conflict. I believe that a collaborative alliance based on mutual respect and understanding is the cornerstone of therapeutic change. I encourage client's to take an active role in the therapeutic process, while I aspire to remain as transparent as possible in this collaborative partnership.
