I have over 30 years experience helping people to reach their psychological and physical health goals. I am pragmatic and employ a structured, goal oriented approach. I am trained in both psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches and I will identify your individual needs and use a treatment strategy that will best meet these needs with a supportive but direct approach. While I will draw on my knowledge and experience in my work with you, I continue to grow as a professional and I will also be learning from you and employ these fresh insights in your treatment.

In my 29 + years of practice I have helped many adults, seniors, adolescents, families, and couples overcome depression, anxiety, grief, stress, sexuality issues, couple and relationship issues, and work issues. My experience helps me to more quickly and effectively help individuals (and families) make the desired changes in their lives.

I strive to understand, identify, and manage individual needs, while providing useful and applicable skills for improved daily functioning. My goal is for you to achieve your goals, by speaking with you, rather than at you. Additionally, I possess training and experience that covers many areas, which allows me to be a versatile clinician. The mind and body work in unison and you must nourish this relationship so you can prosper in life. It can be a difficult road to navigate, so seeking help to strengthen this connection is vital to your overall health. I can help get you there!

I am a NJ Licensed Psychologist in practice in Montclair, NJ. I offer a humanistic and holistic approach to mental health integrating the teaching of mindfulness and meditation. I work with adolescents and adults looking for support to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting challenges and life transitions.

In addition to accepting private pay patients, I am a provider for most BCBS plans.

My goal is to help individuals and families uncover their true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't always change difficult situations, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. Seeing a situation in a new way, becoming aware of what we can and cannot control, or learning coping skills for managing our circumstances can significantly improve our daily lives.

What prevents you from having a satisfying life? Do you find yourself stuck repeating behaviors, thoughts, or feelings over and over again? Individuals, couples, and /or families enter treatment with concerns: issues in relationships, addictions, careers, school issues, depression, anxiety, parenting, child/adolescent issues, phobias, and many others. I work collaboratively with clients to resolve issues which prevent having a fulfilled life or reaching your goals or accomplishments.

Many times our lives are driven by fears and hopes. Learning how to listen to ourselves and others can be difficult at times. Looking for counseling is the first step towards growth. Counseling provides the power to find happiness through meaning, and creating the freedom for a healthy life.

Willingness is the ability to accept one's circumstances and make the most of them, even when you wish things were different. The part I can play in guiding a patient to be more willing, allows a pt to move beyond the adversity of their circumstances. My goal is to EMPOWER patients and EQUIP them with the necessary tools to improve their quality of life. I provide therapy to individuals (adolescents ages 16 and above and adults) and family therapy.

The relationship between a client and their therapist is a strong predictor of a successful therapeutic experience. I strive to provide a warm, supportive environment where each individual feels heard and respected while they move towards a greater understanding of their own concerns and solutions to problems. I use an eclectic approach based on the needs of each individual. My background includes extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family therapy. I work with adults, children, adolescents and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Change is HARD. Period. Through therapy we will work together to bring about change for your life. If stress, anxiety, or depression is keeping you down we will work to strengthen your coping mechanisms so that you feel empowered to bring about change, to feel happy. Feeling stuck? One little movement can create a ripple effect in other aspects of your world such as school, work, marriage, and relationships. New and healthier habits await you. There is help.

Whether you feel burdened by sadness or stress, worried about your personal relationships, or puzzled by sexual difficulties, there is hope. Over the years, I have seen many people enter the therapeutic journey with doubt and hesitancy, and emerge with a renewed sense of meaning and joy in connecting with others. I am passionate about what I do and I deeply believe that good psychotherapy can transform lives. I hold a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and have post-graduate training, as well as special interest, in addressing sexual issues, relationship difficulties, and struggles with life transitions.

I am a therapist for over 35 years, and have brought support, relief, guidance and insight to my patients.

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, irritability or loneliness, you are clearly not alone, given how many therapists there are here! As a psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I practice a powerful mindfulness-based intervention called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Often psychological pain has more to do with how we fight and judge our thoughts and feelings, and we end up in an exhausting internal struggle that we cannot win. We will work together to explore this struggle, gain distance from it, and learn skills and strategies to reduce impact and influence on your life.

Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Disconnected? I believe the potential for happiness and fulfillment in both one's relationship with themselves and others is universal. Sometimes it is a matter of seeking support in developing the tools to unlock this potential. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy I have been able to help couples/individuals move beyond negative patterns that often leave one stuck which often leads to anger, resentment and self criticism. I understand taking this leap in seeking support is not always easy and can be painful. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful and non-judgmental environment.
