I am a licensed professional counselor with a proven track record of assisting individuals, couples and families overcome the challenges in their lives. The focus of treatment is to quickly find ways to alleviate distress and resolve the issues at hand while building strength and resilience in an environment of safety and understanding. Whatever the issue, however overwhelming the emotion there is a way forward and a path to a better experience of life.

As a psychologist I am committed to guiding clients to making meaningful changes in their lives. I have been providing evidenced based treatment for children, adolescents, adults and families for the past 18 years. I employ a cognitive behavioral orientation in helping my clients examine thinking patterns that many times creates and maintain our "ruts". Challenging and changing these patterns promotes personal healing, improved relationships, and deeper satisfaction and happiness.

My practice is dedicated to anxiety disorders with emphasis on OCD and OCD Related disorders. As such, approximately 85-90% of the clients that I am currently treating have this diagnosis. I have treated a significant amount of individuals and families who have been afflicted with the aforementioned challenges. This includes in an office setting, out in the community, and in the homes of the client. I'm up-to-date on the latest treatments. I treat clients on the Autism Spectrum, in all capacities (anxiety related and otherwise.) I also provide clinical supervision to other therapists on how to effectively treat their own clients.

One of the hardest steps in the therapeutic process is this right here.. reaching out for help, for change. My role as a psychotherapist is to collectively work together to establish and meet personal goals in a safe, supportive environment that fosters healing and growth. I aim to provide clients the opportunity to explore and express their feelings to make life long changes that they ultimately feel good about. It is never too late to make a change or to begin the healing process.

Most clients begin therapy after having engaged in their own soul-searching and independent efforts to change.They may be nervous about starting treatment, but they generally have a high level of motivation and a willingness to accept responsibility for making positive changes. My clients prefer their therapist to be quite active and, when necessary, quite willing to point out inconsistencies and unhealthy tendencies.

My passion in the field stems from assisting individuals to overcome the disease of addiction and mental health disorders. The skills I have acquired are through working with individuals, couples and families specializing in anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship conflict, self-esteem, substance abuse, suicide/bereavement and other mental health diagnoses. Every individuals story is unique and therefore, we will work together to find what best fits your needs and goals.

Are you troubled & stressed in a relationship, but don't know how to change things? Do you say "yes" when you want to say "no"? Are you covering up your pain with destructive behaviors? Do you judge yourself harshly & feel you are just never 'good enough'? Negative thoughts, anxiety & low self esteem can be an enormous burden, making it a crushing chore to just get through your day. They effect your relationships, your ability to work and can lead to substance abuse, over eating and other behaviors that can pull you in to a downward spiral that is hard to break free from.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20+ years of experience in the mental health field, I will work with you to understand how life events shape the way we view ourselves and navigate through the world. At times, those experiences lead to thoughts, reactions and behaviors that can have negative consequences. We will explore your emotional life and I will challenge you to develop insight, set boundaries and goals that will bring positive changes to your life. I assist clients with grief, managing chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, and challenging family dynamics.

Emotional difficulties block the path to a satisfying life that may manifest as depression, anxiety, bi-polar, anger/rage, psychosis and even suicidal thoughts. People find themselves trapped in conflict at work, relationships and with oneself. People may turn to destructive behaviors - substance/alcohol abuse, promiscuity, eating disorders or self-injury to find relief. Psychotherapy breaks these cycles by developing deeper insight of self and others while learning skills to help manage emotions and cope more effectively. I encourage a safe therapeutic relationship respecting the person's experience and confidentiality.

Are change and uncertainty making you feel anxious? Do you feel that it's a struggle to work through challenges in your life? If you are tired of trying to make things better on your own, I am here to help you and your family learn healthy coping strategies to manage the emotions and behaviors that trouble you. In therapy, find the clarity and balance you need to connect deeply to your inner strengths to create lasting, positive changes in your life. I am focused on helping you meet your goals and make the changes to your life that you want to see.

TALKING IS THE TREATMENT AND THE CURE! I truly believe that humans have a fundamental need to be heard and a fundamental benefit to being heard in a non critical environment. You will be heard in an accepting and compassionate environment. No judgements. I can help you take a look at the patterns that hold you back and keep you stuck. I provide a straight forward approach to identifying and solving problems. I have been a practicing clinical social worker for over 15 years and provide both mental health and substance use disorder services. I treat adolescents, adults and families.

I am committed to providing counseling service in a safe, non-judgmental setting with a style that is interactive and direct. I support my clients in creating joy, serenity, and satisfaction in their lives. Our sessions will be a place to process life changes and work towards a life of inspired possibilities. Reconnect with your life, wake up with a sense of purpose and satisfaction, foster fulfilling relationships, and be present in your experience.

I provide counseling that is cognitively-based, direct, yet non-judgmental and down-to-earth. I believe humor is an important component of the therapeutic process and I use it often, while being sensitive to my clients' concerns. I believe my style helps people be more at ease when talking about issues they need help with. My ideal client is someone who believes in the possible; someone who wants to explore and learn their true potential. Now I offer online counseling for NJ residents. This provides another way for people to address their concerns in the privacy of their own space.

It is not easy to be a human being. My work focuses on helping individual and families address the barriors to an open hearted acceptance of the challenges we all face--- the challenges surrounding love and loss. None of us has been perfectly parented and yet we all need to find our way to successful work and successful relationships. My task as a therapist is to help my clients find the resources within themselves and within their world to enable them to live imperfect yet happy and productive lives.

As a licensed professional counselor and a board certified, registered art therapist, I have found that participants in the art therapy process are able to address important issues such as adjustment to divorce, overcoming trauma, enhancing self esteem, managing depression, coping with loss, and increasing self-awareness. Artistic ability is not necessary for this process to take place. Any form of expression using the art materials will provide the opportunity for the participant to find resolution to conflicts. As an art therapist, I can assist the participant to move from non-verbal expression through art making to verbal communication.

I have worked with individuals, couples and groups for the past 30+ years. My interest is in being a catalyst for change - helping people find and lead more fulfilling lives - has not wavered but rather, increased. It has, and continues to be an exciting privelege for me to be invited into my clients' lives with the common goal of facilitating new personal insights and enhancing relationships both at "home" and in clients' broader social communities.

If you are having difficulty overcoming struggles in your life, you are not alone. I can help navigate you through these difficult times in a safe, comfortable, and confidential space. I believe therapy is an avenue to address the challenges in life that sometimes seem unmanageable. Whether a change in your life is causing you discomfort, or you are struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship issues, I am here to support you and help you cope with life's struggles.
