Are you yearning to experience more fulfillment and joy? Are you procrastinating in completing an important project? As a Psychotherapist with 25+ years of experience, I am a catalyst for positive change in a client's life. Together we can identify obstacles and formulate strategies that can help you pursue your goals. I can assist a client in addressing anxiety, depression and other behavioral health symptoms that prevent a person from moving forward in life. In addition to Insight Oriented Therapies, EMDR for trauma, and CBT, I am trained in Emotional Freedom Techniques/Tapping (EFT) and Mindfulness practices.

I try to create a therapeutic space that helps you process any difficulty you might be facing, whether that be work or school stress, past or recent trauma, or ongoing symptoms of anxiety or depression. I utilize my experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify what may be holding you back as well as what you might need to mobilize moving forward. My approach to therapy is collaborative and honest. I will be sure to meet you where you are, help you feel understood, and foster a strong therapeutic relationship.

A strong therapeutic relationship is essential for therapeutic success. As such, a primary goal of mine is to facilitate the development of a relationship in which you feel comfortable to be authentically yourself, to discuss difficult topics and experiences, and to access a wide range of emotions. I tend to be a very warm, active, and collaborative therapist. I hope that our collaboration will empower you to better understand yourself and to achieve your therapeutic goals, whether that be to improve your relationships, self-concept, or life satisfaction; to develop concrete strategies for symptom management; to change specific problematic behaviors; or any other goal.

A good therapy experience requires a safe, empathic environment which promotes self-exploration and growth. My style is interactive, balancing detailed inquiry while allowing room for full expression of the client's concerns. I question assumptions, share my observations of automatic patterns in thinking, feeling and relating to others and draw attention to experience that is being avoided. In my experience this is where sources of depression, anxiety and problems in living are found. Exploring these patterns allows us to reevaluate their present usefulness and adopt new approaches, resulting in greater freedom and flexibility in one's life.

In my practice, I strive to help each patient understand their true potential and achieve their goals through comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and psychotherapy. My treatment and assessment practice is tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals and families. I provide clinical neuropsychological evaluations for a wide range of known or suspected cognitive disorders across the lifespan. I also provide psychotherapy to those suffering from life stressors related to medical conditions, caregiver burden, depression, and anxiety.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you often feel sad, confused, anxious and angry? Call me and together we can sort through what is getting in the way of you having a full, productive, and happy life. Often, people feel overwhelmed when they don't have a full awareness of how they continue to repeat patterns learned early in life. In our work together, we can enhance your moment-to-moment awareness, decreasing "overwhelm" and increasing your ability to make the changes that you want to make. The hardest step is making the commitment to start.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in treating adults with a range of difficulties, including OCD, panic attacks, social anxiety, uncontrollable worry, depression, and trauma. I also work with clients experiencing family and relationship concerns or struggling to adjust to significant life changes. I believe in flexibly applying evidence-based treatments to meet the needs of the whole person. I offer practical tools to reduce suffering in the present, and to help you move toward a life of value and meaning. However, I also aim to understand how your past experiences and identities shape your worldview.

Life presents us with challenges; everyone experiences a degree of distress or worry along the way. Psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive partnership in which you can begin to understand your experiences, identify areas you'd like to change, build on strengths, and ultimately make choices to create a greater sense of well-being. Many individuals I work with are intelligent, accomplished people who feel they could benefit from a deeper exploration of the questions they are encountering with respect to career, relationships or personal identity. Additionally, I have an interest in working on issues specific to artists and creative professionals.

I view therapy as a collaborative interpersonal experience that can facilitate understanding and self-growth. I work to foster an open and safe therapeutic environment that is based on mutual trust. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is necessary for individuals to be able to recognize, understand, and work through reoccurring and at times, self-harming interpersonal patterns and their negative self-view. I have found that in coming to understand the underlying unconscious reasons for behaviors individuals are better able to learn about themselves in a unique manner that can positively impact different and seemingly unrelated aspects of their lives.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. My focus is on providing a supportive and interactive dialogue with you to remove blocks, build upon strengths and resilience, and foster self-attunement to live more authentically and to attain the personal growth you are seeking. I provide individual therapy to clients of all ages (children, teens and adults). My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, school refusal, disruptive behavioral problems, ADHD, chronic medical problems (e.g., fibromyalgia, functional abdominal pain, migraines, pain secondary to cancer, etc.), obesity, conversion disorder, and psychogenic seizures.

Deciding to see a therapist is a huge step towards getting more fulfillment out of life. Often we rationalize, avoid, or plain ol' give up when faced with life's challenges leaving us feeling anxious, depressed and hopeless. Therapy is an active process where we explore issues in your life. You become the catalyst of change. I'm a guide along your journey, offering support, empathy, and insight. The goal is to help you feel entitled to all of your feelings. In turn, you become better equipped to attain what you want in life, the way you would like.

My decision to become a therapist evolved as my values, my own understanding of the world & my place in it, broadened. It is this evolution that I work to facilitate for my patients as they seek to find their unique places in the world. I believe in relationship therapy, with both a psychodynamic & open systems theory base. I try to account for both environmental & hereditary variables in the treatment paradigm using direct intervention & a mix of traditional psychodynamic & psychoanalytic techniques, including CBT & DBT elements.

I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents struggling with depression, difficulties in relationships and marriages, anxiety, parenting issues, post-partum depression, social anxiety, and eating disorders and body image issues. I focus on creating trusting, supportive relationships with my patients in a confidential, non-judgmental environment. I work with patients to help them understand the reasons for the development of their problems, as well as to learn to draw on their strengths to develop new coping skills to overcome these problems.

Coping with chronic pain can be debilitating and research shows that women in pain are often dismissed by doctors and family members. Our symptoms are often minimized and gendered expectations can make self advocacy a challenge. Overwhelming feelings of helplessness, or finding ways to move when your body hurts can be exhausting. Even with a good team of doctors it can feel like an enormous responsibility to accomplish the daily life tasks. It’s easy to forget about pleasure and to feel unfulfilled in life and relationships.

I have been in practice since 1987, with extensive experience working within the LGBT community, helping individuals and couples to better understand themselves, and their relationships of all kinds: work, partners, family, and friends. One of my specialities is eating disorders in both women and men. My training as a social worker began in the area of substance abuse, and I was the co-founder of a Mental Health Center for people with AIDS. My approach is eclectic, client driven, humanistic. I was named the Greta Singer Memorial Lecturer at Monmouth University in 2011.
