Therapists in Old Bridge, NJ

As a Licensed Marriage Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been helping Individuals and couples solve relationship problems, for almost 40 years. By applying my practical and positive approach to relationship difficulties, you will be able to clearly define and constructively address problematic attitudes and behaviors that block intimacy in your life.

I would like to help you achieve the most successful resolution of your difficulties, in order for you to have the life you deserve.

Sometimes we feel alone, misunderstood, scared. Other times we feel anger, turmoil, overwhelmed. It can be a painful past which still gives us no peace, or a fork in the road ahead which confuses us. We may have no way to settle our fears. Children may be challenging us, or we may be observing them struggle in their personal lives. Relationships may be unsettling or disappointing. What we all want is happiness, inner peace. Gratifying relationships. Pride in our parenting. A way to move on from past traumas and allow us to feel free again.
