I strongly believe that one of the most challenging things for one to do in life, is to reach out and ask for help. With this in mind, I believe in fostering a safe space where my patients are able to feel that they can commence upon the therapeutic journey. I believe in being an active part of the therapeutic process, so that together, we can begin to discover more self satisfying and healthier relationships on all levels. Thus leading to healing and exploring deeper insights and connections that might be leading to certain maladaptive patterns of behavior in our lives.

I work with people in individual, group, couples and family therapy. I try to help people understand themselves better, become more comfortable with themselves, improve their relationships with others and achieve their personal and career goals. I specialize in the treatment of trauma as well as eating disorders.

I am a cognitive psychologist -- a practical person who will help you understand: What are your goals, and what is blocking you from reaching them? We'll work together to get a handle on how your thoughts may be impeding your progress, and, more importantly, how to adjust your thoughts to increase your chances of success.

Thoughts about food, weight, body image or exercise are constantly on your mind. You wish you could just enjoy your day the way others seem to, but the thoughts intrude and your behaviors become compulsive. You're so tired of your relationship with food interfering with your ability to function day after day. You wish for a break - for relief, calm, for the endless thoughts to cease. But no matter how many times you promise yourself, you can't stop, you can't change - you are stuck.

I am committed to creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, supportive and is based on mutual respect. In sessions, my general style is to be interactive and direct, but I also emphasize very close listening. The goals of my interventions vary depending on your evolving struggles, needs and strengths. Together, we work to understand the multi-layered nature of the problem(s) and to find ways to improve your life and alleviate distress.

My goal is to create a safe setting where together we can develop coping strategies so you can take charge of your life. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years experience working proudly for the Veterans Administration and for private mental health agencies. Now retired with a private practice as a clinician with a caseload of men and woman who are dealing with life's stressors especially in these difficult times. Addressing past and current challenges will avoid emotional and physical difficulties.

Therapy is a journey we take together. As partners we will focus on you--your needs, your desires, your history, your goals. I believe we are all capable of growth and change. Therapy is hard work sometimes, but almost always rewarding and you actively choose a better life for yourself.

My work as a psychologist centers on problems with anxiety and stress, particularly within the context of our multicultural society. I help people with conflicts in: interracial identity; adolescent-young adult identity and ethnic identity; intergenerational relationships; interracial relationships; and adoption. Such conflicts often coexist with struggles in mood regulation, depression, and anxiety, for which there are effective psychological treatments and healthy solutions.

I work with women who suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and body image concerns. I work with mothers who struggle with self-care, particularly their body image post-pregnancy. Are you a mother of young children? Finding it hard to parent at this time? Are you finding that parenting is effecting your mood and ability to parent? I encourage you to reach out and connect with me if you think this is you at this time. I currently have openings in my NY and NJ practice. I am virtual right now but see some clients in person with COVID safety measures in place.

Are you searching for better relationships, more satisfaction in work, a sense of well-being or an overall deeper engagement in life? I will work with you to discover what is interfering with your having the life you want. When you begin to know and accept all of your feelings and learn how to use them, success in love and work becomes possible.

We each want the best life we can make for ourselves. Everyone has potential that has not been developed or utilized enough. Whether one has symptoms of depression, anxiety, problematic relationships or anger difficulties, each one of us can progress to remove symptoms and develop our unique personalities more. That is what keeps me excited about my work after so many years of practice as a psychotherapist. I help people to accomplish their goals and improve their abilities to get more out of life, including their relationships. We are complex beings, filled with so much untapped potential.

Finding work that you are passionate about may seem like a fantasy, especially in this economic environment. Yet my approach to career development is a time-proven process that advances your life forward, even during challenging times. Whether you are looking for work, thinking of changing jobs, or feeling you are in the wrong industry entirely, you deserve a more fulfilling and satisfying career path.

As a creative arts therapist and EMDR practitioner, I work with people who struggle with depression, PTSD, work issues, and substance abuse. My practice includes children, adolescents and adults struggling with a wide range of issues. My style is warm, interactive, supportive, and practical. I meet people where they are to best help them feel safe as we work together. I have been in private practice for 20 years.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with anxiety, depression and addiction, both with individuals and with couples. My training is psychodynamic in nature, although I work regularly within a CBT model to reduce and eliminate anxiety symptoms more effectively. I believe in reducing symptoms initially to clear the way for treatment of the underlying issues. I strongly believe in a good match between therapist and patient and, therefore, offer a free consultation so we can both determine whether we can work well and effectively together. My style is warm, non-judgmental and thought-provoking. My approach is direct and interpersonal.
