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.

You have already taken a brave first step by looking for help! Are you experiencing a life event or time period where you need support to overcome various serious challenges or traumas? Do you need to learn to communicate better, feel stronger, reach a personal way to resolve traumas that have occurred in your life? Find an ally and your own path to explore and and build your own inner strength and resilience? Do you need a trained ear as your collaborator to find the "life balance" that you need? In therapy sessions we work together as partners for you to reach your goals.

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.

As a solution focused Addictions and Trauma Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that you want to celebrate. While we can't change situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve life challenges. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to my client's individual needs to help attain the personal growth they are striving for. I recognize that to many change feels unattainable. However, In a nonjudgmental relaxing environment I can help you develop the confidence and skills to carry out change in a non-threatening way.

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.

I am former president of the United States Association for Body Psychotherapy (USABP.org)--meaning, I am not a traditional talk therapist. I trained 6 years beyond my doctorate in body-centered psychotherapy, so that I include the body's experience throughout the session. In addition, I'm a certified yoga therapist with a non-dual perspective. Through movement, breath, and mindfulness, I help you really experience feeling- states in your body. What is going on RIGHT NOW matters, when you're undergoing experiential psychotherapy. I help you get out of your MIND and INTO your body--where joy and peace can be felt and realized.

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.

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.

At some point in our lives, most people will experience feelings of anxiety, depression, difficulty adjusting to new circumstances, mood swings, loss, family strain, and/or relationship issues. How you experience your world and cope with your feelings influences every part of you. We each deserve a safe place to share these experiences, learn to cope with these feelings, and feel empowered to make a change. I strive to provide a nurturing, non-judgmental environment in which you feel supported to do just that.

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.
