Therapists in Annandale, NJ

Do you yearn to be in a fulfilling relationship, where you feel alive, desired, and connected to your partner? It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that your relationship problems are "just a cycle" or that "all marriages go through this”. You may find yourself feeling sad and hopeless about your marriage being stuck in a rut for too long, but you can turn this around. You can transform your intimate relationship into a vibrant and sexy connection with your partner. With me, you’ll learn how to explore, experiment, and express your intimate desires, plus gain access to effective communication tools to take home.

I am a clinical social worker skilled and experienced in providing individual, family and group therapy to adults, adolescents and children. My style is non judgmental and I am sensitive to the needs of each individual. I use techniques that are eclectic, drawing on cognitive, behavioral, dialectical, narrative, psychodynamic, positive and humanistic psychology. I utilize evidence-based practices to help you achieve lasting growth by tailoring an individual treatment approach. I also use Motivational Interviewing techniques to help you to achieve desired goals.

Transitions can be so difficult for us. If you are struggling with adjusting to a major life change, such as the end of a relationship or a significant loss, I can help you work through the challenges you are having and guide you in processing your feelings. If you are having difficulty within your relationship, I can work with you either individually or as a couple to improve communication, reconnect and understand each other better. If you are feeling depressed or anxious, I work closely with you to find the most effective ways to feel better.

Our services include individual, couples and family therapy, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Additionally we offer a range of evaluations and assessments with our psychologist. We utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and psychodynamic therapy to help you gain insight, develop new perspectives and create positive changes in your life. Our therapists are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care, respecting your identity, background and beliefs.

At our practice, you will be supported by a dedicated team of compassionate and caring therapists. We are a trauma-informed, community-oriented practice that only uses evidence and research-based treatment modalities for depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and other life challenges and transitions. We believe in mind/body connection, so body-oriented skills are taught and incorporated into our therapy sessions. We will teach you/work with you on integrating mindfulness, meditation, grounding, and other effective coping skills to address emotional distress, change behavioral patterns and enhance relationships.
