I am a psychotherapist with over 45 years experience working with adults, adolescents, couples and families. Sometimes people need help with a specific problem such as a marital conflict, parenting concerns or family discord. Other problems may be impaired self-esteem, worrisome personal or work relationships, addictions, anxiety or depression. I frequently work with adolescents and their parents as well as those struggling with panic attacks, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, phobias, work-stress, alcohol/drug abuse, divorce, bereavement and traversing many of life's transitions. I help old problems with fresh insights.

My goal is to help guide you to become the fullest, most authentic, expression of yourself . With my experience of working with adults in Partial Hospital Programs, Intensive Outpatient Programs and domestic violence programs, I have had the opportunity of working with patients struggling with a variety of illnesses to include: depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance abuse and personality disorders. My experience also includes family therapy and extensive group therapy.

I recognize and am deeply respectful of the courage it takes to reach out for help. I believe each client has unique strengths and work with you to discover and enhance these as we explore, modify, and resolve troublesome areas. My training and style combine cognitive, behavioral and psychodynamic techniques. I am dedicated to combining my experience, skills,and compassion to help you develop the specific tools you need. My clients are adults and teens who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, postpartum struggles, and the psychological struggles and complications that come with chronic physical illness or having a chronically ill family member.

I provide a supportive, warm, and empathetic atmosphere in order to help each person find peace, happiness, and comfort in their lives and relationships. I provide services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families and offer individual therapy, marriage and couples counseling, family systems therapy, substance abuse and addiction counseling and assessments.

Change is your choice. We often seek support when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or confused. When we can't find the ground or see our way through the thick of the storm. My goal is to assist you in the process of change. Effective counseling is developed through the relationship between counselor and client. I'm here to be your ally, working with you and for you to accomplish your goals.

Thirty plus years of experience utilizing psychodynamic psychotherapy in adult, marital (couples), child, and family therapy. Further training and supervision was gleaned at the Institute for Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis of N.J. Although my orientation is eclectic, I lean towards an interpersonal interactive approach with my clients, unless contraindicated. Being devoted, helpful and constructive in working together with clients to achieve whatever goals one has such as the following: relief from stress or depression, improving emotional connections & intimacy, coping with conflict, adversity, and success, & confidence building to feel hopeful and passionate about loving, working, and living life.

* Accepting new clients* I am passionate about helping those who feel lost or overwhelmed transform their daily life. Life can be even more challenging if you feel sad, anxious and alone. Together we resolve your immediate situation and build strengths to discover your true self and regain control. I can help deepen your understanding of self and interaction with the world. We explore thoughts, experiences and feelings and learn tools to thrive in everyday life. You are not stuck in this current situation. Sometimes we need compassion to guide our journey as we move forward.

I bring a calm, non-judgmental presence to our sessions while remaining direct about the ways in which your own perceptions and actions may be keeping you from enjoying life more fully. I also recognize that sometimes there's just a need to problem-solve and tackle challenging circumstances from a practical perspective. It is possible for people to feel more joy and contentment from their lives and their relationships. Difficult feelings such as sadness and worry, as well as problematic behavior patterns, usually arise from a combination of the typical pressures of life and our own personal histories.

Change is the goal. You want something to be different in your life. Maybe you aren’t enjoying things the way you used to or you are having difficulty in an important relationship. Perhaps you are tired of listening to that critical voice inside your head or you feel nervous and on edge or tired and down. You can make significant and lasting improvements in your life right now. You have many strengths and we will explore together what tools, habits and abilities you already possess and which you need help to develop.

I am a clinical psychologist with 23 years experience working with individuals, couples and families. I received my degree from Rutgers University and am certified in several approaches to therapy. While cognitive and behavioral therapies act as my foundation, I teach many interpersonal and self-help strategies (eg, conflict resolution, assertiveness & communication training, meditation, self-hypnosis, emotion & trauma resolution). I work successfully with individuals and couples who struggle with problems at home, school or work, and in relationships.

Have you found yourself asking the question "Maybe I should go talk to someone" but find a way to talk yourself out of it? Followed by thoughts that you should be able to handle things on your own, giving in to the stigma that going to therapy is somehow a sign of weakness or just isn't for you. There can be misconceptions about what it means to talk to a Mental Health Professional.

Sometimes what we are searching for already exists within us, we just need help finding it. In therapy I help you to reflect and reacquaint yourself with what you need to feel most alive. Through building self-compassion and mindfulness I can help you to feel more present in your life. My treatment approach combines active exploration and practical solutions to aid you in discovering an authentic and meaningful life. I will help you to highlight your personal strengths in order to better adjust to life transitions, improve relationships and better understand emotions/behaviors.

I help people feel better about themselves and gain clarity and mastery over their lives. YOU ARE NOT A DIAGNOSIS! Your life experiences created pain or distress. These may be: relationship difficulties, anxiety or depression, facing loss through divorce, death or illness, becoming mired in self-criticism or feeling paralyzed by fears of change. You may have experienced trauma that left marks on your system. You may NOT have experienced trauma but find yourself facing a sudden challenge (such as loss, illness, parenting difficulties, job stress, etc.) in your current life. You may be experiencing ongoing issues that leave you feeling unable to cope.
