Therapists in Lawnside, NJ

Transitions can be so difficult for us. If you are struggling with adjusting to a major life change, such as the end of a relationship or a significant loss, I can help you work through the challenges you are having and guide you in processing your feelings. If you are having difficulty within your relationship, I can work with you either individually or as a couple to improve communication, reconnect and understand each other better. If you are feeling depressed or anxious, I work closely with you to find the most effective ways to feel better.

As a licensed psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey, I offer in-person and virtual sessions to individuals, couples, and families.

Starting from the stresses of everyday life, trauma, or relationship issues, I am committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy to individuals seeking support and healing. As a mental health professional, I understand the profound impact that life's challenges can have on one's well-being and sense of self. I'm here to help you navigate these emotions and provide you with the tools for a happier life.

I work with people suffering from various mental health conditions: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, or grieving a loss. In my 25 years as a therapist, I have worked with patients from diverse cultural, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. In the recent years, my focus has been psychotherapy, support and psycho-education for people with acute or chronic medical conditions. The achievements of modern medicine do not replace attention to potentially devastating psychological effects of being sick, yet doctors often overlook or ignore them, leaving us to cope with fear, loneliness, and critical decisions to make.

Our practice specializes in assisting intelligent, high-functioning adults to mobilize their inherent strengths toward achieving their highest potential. Clients that come to our practice often report a range of difficulties that impede them from living a well-balanced life. Most commonly reported symptoms range from feeling chronic stress, addictions, panic attacks, depressed mood, obsessive thoughts, interpersonal conflicts at work and home, and even spiritual struggles.

Are you experiencing a life transition or a personal crisis ? Have you always been self-reliant, but now feel overwhelmed and unable to tackle life's challenges? Are you an individual encountering difficulties in your relationships? Are you a couple looking to gain insight , change your communication pattern and establish deeper connection? Are you an adult with special needs or a parent of a special needs child dealing with anxiety and decision fatigue ? Regardless of what brings you here, I recognize that life can be challenging and complex.

The goal of therapy, as I see it, is not to make a person perfectly happy or to get rid of all pain in life – that would be unrealistic and also not consistent with being a vibrant, thinking and feeling human. However, I do believe that it is the work of therapy to help people experience their lives as meaningful, to help people move in the direction of achieving their goals in life, to live a life where they are able to feel at peace with themselves, forgive themselves, treat themselves with care and respect, and give themselves permission to rest and experience joy.

I work with people who are dealing with stress, relationship issues, and family conflicts. Some are afraid they are "not good enough", or struggle with people pleasing, which comes at a great cost to themselves. There are those who have a hard time figuring out who they are and what they want in life. My job is to help you manage stress, improve relationships, find out your wants and needs, and gain more self-confidence. The first step is to get a sense of one each other, in order to gain comfort and figure out what interventions will work best.

Do not underestimate the mind-body connection. A mind distraught is a body at risk. Psychological unease affects all aspects of our lives, as well as the lives of those nearest to us. Though our predicaments can often feel hopeless, and seeking relief can feel futile, psychotherapy proves daily that, in the care of a specialist, an altered perspective can offer life-changing insight, as well as the development of healthy and effective coping strategies to deal with a multitude of challenges.

I am dedicated to supporting the individuals I work with in addressing a range of areas including anxiety, chronic illness, grief, life transitions, family and relationship issues, and trauma. I strive to build a trusting relationship where clients can speak openly, better understand their feelings and inner experiences, and develop awareness of narratives and patterns that may be getting in the way of living a more fulfilling life.
