Couples Counseling Therapists in 06070

As a Psychologist, for 20 years I have enjoyed working with adults, adolescents, couples and families. Over the years I have learned that the single most important aspect to productive therapy is having a trusting, empathic connection with your therapist. Additionally, it is important that your therapist is highly skilled, appropriately trained and experienced. Finding the right therapist is very important, therefore I always encourage people to investigate several options in order to find that supportive, genuine and safe connection that is right for them. Given that belief, I would be happy to be interviewed by you.

“I feel stuck”, “Everything is so hard”, “I’m losing it”.

Whether coping with trauma or loss, complex couples/family dynamics, or trying to improve quality of life, a little extra support can go a long way.

I offer remote tele-health and video therapy sessions to anyone seeking mental health support.

I served at York Correctional Maximum Security Prison as a Post Graduate Clinical Intern. I worked as an IICAPS clinician following graduation. I am now working as an Outpatient Clinician serving clients of varying ages and clinical needs.

Using the CSAT model I work with individuals struggling problem sexual behavior (non-offending).

Motherhood hasn’t been what you were hoping for. You’ve been feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed most days. Your thoughts have become dominated by worries & distressing thoughts. Your emotions feel out of control-often shifting between joy, sadness & rage. You no longer feel like yourself & worry that these feelings will last forever. It is likely negatively impacting your relationship with your spouse, your social life & may make it difficult to bond with your baby. Whether these feelings developed due to a difficult pregnancy, a traumatic delivery or post partum hormones, they're preventing you from enjoying your new baby.

The life you had is gone. You've lost someone or something that was important to you. Whether through a death, betrayal, the loss of a relationship or lifestyle, you are forever changed. You are not sure how to move forward. In addition to feeling overwhelmed by sadness and/or guilt, you may be anxious about your future, what it will look like, and the steps you need to take.

I admire the courage and determination of those who seek help when life becomes challenging. I work with client strengths and motivations to affect positive change, moving forward to a fulfilling and rewarding future. I have helped individuals, couples, and families through the spectrum of life's difficulties, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger management, substance abuse, low self esteem, and family dysfunction. My approach is eclectic, having been trained in humanistic, psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral, family systems, and brief solution focused therapy and techniques. Our work together will result in longterm change and I look forward to guiding you along the way. ~ ~

What is a “mindful parent,” exactly? A mindful parent is the one that asks: how do I know that what I am doing is preparing my child mentally and emotionally for an increasingly complex future? How do I optimize the relationship I have with them right now to better ensure they become an adult that is empowered not entitled, self-reliant and compassionate, curious, and competent in a world of increasing artifice? Those are great questions and, luckily, we have the answers. Developmental research has identified ways you can enhance the parent-child relationship to prepare your child for a more secure, autonomous adulthood.

We all aspire to live life to the fullest, reach our maximum potential and be well and healthy. Regardless of our life story, we can achieve our personal goals and face life challenges with hope and optimism. Physical and emotional wellness are a priority and each person has the capacity to build and follow their own path to recovery. I like to provide a safe space for individuals, couples &/or families to explore their strengths, hopes, wishes and desires, and regardless of their story, pursue their path to recovery and healing.

Feeling overwhelmed? There is no problem too big that can't be solved, no issue from which there is no relief.

I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.
