Chronic Illness Therapists in Parsippany, NJ

I believe in using a strengths-based approach, self-compassion, and appropriate goal-setting to help individuals refocus their lives. This requires a strong therapeutic rapport, understanding where an individual has been; the environments, experiences, and forces that have helped shape them; and where they strive to be. Therapy is a collaboration between client and therapist, and I take a curious and empathetic approach with all of my clients.

I specialize in providing individually tailored, evidence-based psychotherapy with a focus on increasing self-understanding - the way one makes sense of their own history, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and the examination of how and why individuals often engage in distressing or ineffective behaviors. I assist patients in improving their awareness of these patterns, and in the process make changes to allow for a richer and more meaningful life. I am currently licensed as a psychologist in the states of New York and New Jersey.

As a Medicare provider with more than 20 years of experience, I will offer you a warm and non judgmental environment where you can bring your feelings of sadness, loss and other powerful feelings that may accompany the grief journey.

Together we can navigate the overwhelming, sometimes dark emotional landscape of grief, and learn to find the light that still exists, but can be so hard to see at this very difficult time.

If you have ever sought a psychotherapy that was less about symptoms and labels, and more about overcoming, problem-solving, and achieving life satisfaction, welcome.

I am a trained forensic psychological evaluator who has written many books on arts of healing and psychotherapy. I have been a holistic practitioner, and I guess the headline is I am a musical artist (Shockocracy). I am accepting a small number of artistic psychotherapy patients at this time, and I have staff available.

Life is hard: frustrations and stress are mounting and you're not coping as well as you'd like. Even as a Christian believer, you may be feeling discouraged, confused, stuck. Have you lost pleasure in things you would normally enjoy? Are "what-ifs" feeding your anxieties and doubts? What's getting in the way? Has your family been impacted by addiction? Perhaps there's trauma or loss that needs healing. Maybe you're fatigued by the battles you're fighting with your own or a loved one's health, or even as a military veteran who is now out of uniform.

Transitions. Grief. Loss. Fear. Change. Whether it is from the death of a loved one, divorce or marital discord, the coming out process, being diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness, or adjusting to significant life changes: support can be a critical component of healing. I believe you already have everything you need within you to move through this. My focus is to collaborate with you in the exploration of feelings, cultivating your strengths, and creating/defining new coping skills to navigate this challenging time.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Starting therapy is a decision to work towards making desired changes for your overall wellness. Making changes or thinking about making changes can cause you to feel nervous, stressed, ashamed, overwhelmed, or maybe even afraid. I want to thank you for your courage and commitment to taking the first step in caring for yourself by starting therapy. Your willingness to start is what counts, not how long it took you to get here.

I strive to provide a safe space for healing and connection where my clients feel supported without judgement. I have experience working with chronic health and chronic pain conditions, end of life concerns, caregivers support, grief, healthy aging, anxiety, and depression. I support individuals working through a variety of life transitions such as career change, job loss, marital issues, divorce, parenting, and more.
