Therapists in Kendall Park, NJ

“Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger. It takes strength to face our sadness, and to grieve, and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings, and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.” ― Fred Rogers - I believe we all have the ability to overcome life's many challenges. But sometimes we can get stuck. Stuck in unhealthy patterns of thoughts and behaviors that prevent us from leading fulfilling lives. We are not alone in this.

My work with children, teens, adults, and families usually begins when someone has reached their breaking point. What’s worked in the past is no longer effective and there is a feeling of being stuck and/or hopelessness. Whether you are dealing with self harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, trauma, or difficulties regulating emotions, thoughts and behaviors I can support you. Through my practice I help clients develop self-awareness and behavioral strategies that can be practiced and infused into daily life. Let's work together on taking your next step.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I hope that the process of finding a therapist has not been a difficult one. To expedite your search, I will tell you a few things about me. I love to work with individuals who are seeking ways to cope and manage various issues in life such as managing work, school or home life and relationship stressors. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced fertility problems, history of loss or trauma, adult women with ADHD and blended families. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I am looking forward to guiding you through life's journey.

You have had days that make you feel like switching off the sun, crawling underneath your skin, and checking out from this catastrophic cantankerous world. You have been emotionally shipwrecked by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and you feel broken beyond repair. Yesterday was too much, today you're drowning in the sea of despair; and, tomorrow should not see the light of day. Existing feels like too much to ask, survival seems impossible, and you're thinking, "I can't do this..." Maybe you can't, but we can, and we will. You may feel alone, but you are not alone. You may sway and bend, but you will never break.

A happier and healthier version of you can soon be your reality. Are you seeking growth and change in your life and finding it difficult? Are you or a loved on struggling with managing your emotions in healthy ways these days? Are life’s stressors or life transitions making it difficult for you to adjust and cope? Do you feel lost, sad, worried or unhappy with how things are currently going in your life? Do you or one of your loved ones cope with unhealthy behaviors, an addiction or substance abuse problem and you think it is time for a change? Are you seeking an alternative pathway to healing your inner self? You can get help.

I work with adults, couples, children and adolescents combining a variety of approaches including talk therapy and neurotherapy. I emphasize the value of our relationship, building trust by listening and understanding your needs. Treatment is geared to removing barriers that prevent you from having a meaningful life, developing the skills to support your journey towards healing and free you from negative emotions such as guilt, shame, fear, anxiety and anger. Through a process of self- exploration, problem solving, skills development, you can learn to overcome obstacles, clarify your values and reach your goals..

It's hard to admit needing help sometimes. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or inertia about self-motivated change? If you're struggling with managing anxiety or depression, infertility, adoption issues, trauma, LGBTQ, ADHD, child behavior, mariage, or impulse control I can help. I will "meet you where you are" emotionally, and together we can navigate what you are experiencing. I want to walk with you while you find mental wellness, manage stressors, obtain clarity, and gain the peace of mind that you deserve. There's much healing in being heard, understood, and taking time to process emotions.

Now accepting new clients! I am a huge advocate that mental health is health, and taking the first step into counseling is an act to be celebrated! I believe every person I work with is unique and I bring that into my practice to make counseling an individualized experience catered to every client. It is my belief that each person has the ability to grow no matter what stage of life they find themselves in. I regularly incorporate dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), which includes mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more into my sessions in combination with other various approaches.

I began practicing in Maryland in 1978. I resumed practicing in New York in 2004 and added an office in New Jersey in 2013. My practice covers a broad age range from 2-90. I am most comfortable treating adults with a variety of mental health issues. I also see couples and do family therapy. In addition, I have done play therapy with children. I am also comfortable conducting psychological evaluations of children ranging in age from a year to 21 years. I am an expert in developmental disabilities including autism spectrum disorders.

If you think that your quality of life is marred by anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, grief and pain from personnel or material losses or chronic physical conditions or if you see yourself getting into a pattern of making self- sabotaging choices in your life , give yourself the chance to experience life differently. Allow me to guide you make a break through. I work with children, teens, adults, couples and families who are facing behavioral & emotional regulation issues, stress while navigating difficult relationships or life's challenges in general.

Life is a series of choices and decisions that often lead us to uncharted destinations and exciting opportunities. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming and obstacles may occur to block our path or keep us stuck and unable to seize the opportunities within our reach.

My professional experience over the last three decades consists of working in a variety of settings including College Counseling & Psychological Service, Emergency Room Crisis Intervention Counselor, Partial Care Programs, Community Mental Health Center, and Counseling Center for Pregnant Teens. For the past 23 years, I have counseled a diverse population of college students who have struggled with PTSD, Social and General Anxiety, Relationships, Depression, Trauma, Grief/loss, Bipolar Disorder, Personality Disorders and Life Transitions providing a collaborative relationship in a safe, open and nonjudgmental atmosphere. ​

Many of my clients come in to address anxiety, depression and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping women in different phases of their lives (adolescence, womanhood, motherhood, menopause). I also have experience in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression and Adjustment Disorders. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness. I use the therapeutic relationship to look at how patterns of interaction have developed and can be used to strengthen connections outside of our sessions.

I became a therapist to help my community. I started working with children diagnosed with Autism over 10years ago, I became a registered behavior technician to further my knowledge to continue more in-depth work in community mental health using ABA. Regardless of the success I had as a technician I knew I wanted to do more so I obtained my Clinical Mental Health Counseling Masters Degree. I finally felt like I was doing the work I always dreamed of doing. Upon graduating I was immediate hired at the community mental health clinic where I worked with children, teens and families of diverse backgrounds.

I believe strongly that clients come in all different shapes and sizes and from different walks of life. Therefore, I do not have an ideal client, as my wish is to help anyone who needs it regardless of their experiences, needs, and goals. I welcome the experiences I will gain from having diverse clients.
