Many of the people I work with have complicated stories and families. They have struggled with relationships and symptoms and come to therapy to share and sort out their experiences. I am a seasoned therapist with a full-time private practice. I have a particular interest in the impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships and the impact of shame on the client-therapist relationship. I work with adults and adolescents to help them have healthier relationships and use EMDR to treat traumatic events and relational trauma. I help couples develop trust and intimacy through Emotionally Focused Therapy.
I have a Doctorate of Social Work from Rutgers University where my area of study was the impact of shame in psychotherapy, an MSW from Columbia University, and a certificate in Psychoanalysis from CPPNJ. My approach is interactive, providing treatment which includes educating people about present day experiences and understanding influences from the past.
I am licensed in New York & New Jersey. I am the Director of Training, training analyst, and supervisor at the Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey. Please call with questions you may have about my practice.
