Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in 07649

I recognize that people often have many different types of trauma in their lives. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and may be interpreted differently by each individual. Traumatic issues can range from bullying, loss of friendship, transitions of all types, to devastating life events. I have provided care to adolescents and adults suffering from emotional disturbances, as a result of trauma and loss. Subsequently these disturbances will interfere with school, work, and relationships and may ultimately prevent one from living a fulfilling life.

Reaching out for help can be difficult. Whether this is your first time seeking help or not, I am happy to work together with you to determine your needs. I enjoy working with individuals who struggle with substance use disorder, codependency, grief & loss, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders and interpersonal relationship issues.

I am a licensed psychologist in NJ and NY and I have been working as a clinical psychologist for 13 years to improve my patients' quality of life, strengthen their relationships, and develop self awareness, emotional stability, and a positive sense of self. I welcome individuals, couples, and families, as well as young adults and adults. My patients often come to me seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and depression; I help them to develop better coping skills, mindfulness, and improved adjustment and communication skills. At times in life, many of us will require guidance in various areas to navigate interpersonal challenges:

I have 25 years of experience working with clients of all ages, struggling with interpersonal relationships, life transitions and psychiatric illness including depression, anxiety, substance use, bipolar disorder and more. I work with individuals facing challenges at work, in school, coping with loss/grief, struggles parenting, exploring sexuality or dealing with loneliness. I also help couples and families work through conflict, foster strong communication patterns and rebuild positive relationships. I value the therapeutic alliance and establishing one of openness and trust while taking an empathetic and non-judgmental approach.

I am a clinical psychologist who primarily uses Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I work with clients of all ages-- I completed my doctoral training with a specialty in working with children and families, but I enjoy working with adults equally. In addition to my private practice, I serve as a supervisor, Assistant Clinic Director, and Coordinator of the DBT Program at Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS). There I have been involved in training doctoral students in clinical psychology for the last 11 years.

Reaching out for help is not easy for many of us but it can be very rewarding. I am frequently humbled and inspired by the courage clients show as they work to make real changes in their lives. Attending therapy demonstrates a strength and a willingness to face challenges and make changes. I am honored to accompany clients on their journey to create a life they desire.
