As a family Therapist, I have the incredible privilege of joining you on your journey towards empowerment and self-discovery. Within the safe haven of Conscious Cove, I extend my support not only to children and adolescents but also to adults seeking positive change. In this sacred space, I strive to create a warm and nurturing environment, a sanctuary where you can tenderly confront the challenges that may be holding you back. Together, we will craft personalized treatment goals, fostering growth and resilience amidst life's complexities.

Hello and welcome to my practice. I am a clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience helping people to improve their lives. I work with children, adolescents and adults struggling with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges. My education and training is extensive and diverse with a MEd from Harvard University and a PhD from Columbia University. I see clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities and genders. My approach is creative and multifaceted and tailored to your needs. Together, our goal is to effectively identify and address the issues interfering with living a better life.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who may be struggling with questions about relationships, families, boundaries, academics, anxiety, depression, self-identity and/or self-esteem. I am also certified to treat clients with substance abuse issues and addiction. My clients receive quality care in a comfortable environment with a holistic approach to wellness. My approach is solution-based and client centered to empower individuals to reach their full potential. I am available to my clients through text, phone and email. I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor mentoring LACs in NJ.

Families evolve and change over time. As individuals age and grow, their roles within the family also change. The family can help - or hinder - individual and personal growth. Family work can help to make the family a positive source of support. Family work will help you to step back and observe emotional patterns and processes. There definitely can be family change with only one person in the room working with a therapist. In physics there is an adage: for every action there is a reaction.

I am a Licensed Family Therapist with over 35 years of experience, and prior experience as a pediatrician. Over time, I developed various ways to help people solve problems, together. I work with couples, or whole families, and with children and adolescents. I have a strong belief that even painful or difficult things can be addressed constructively. I have a variety of methods to reach that goal. I utilize experiential, narrative, structural, constructivist, or insight oriented approaches, individually tailored to each situation. I have a special fondness for teenagers. My connection to children informs my approach to parenting.

Helping you create the life that you want is my passion. Perhaps you want to work on your self-esteem, relationships, a struggling career, financial crisis, the demands of your family life...or the grief and change that comes with a separation, divorce or any kind of loss. I specialize in treating individuals with anxiety, panic and trauma. I've been told that my therapeutic style is warm and engaging and our sessions provide an inviting space where you can comfortably and safely explore your issues. I appreciate each and every person's journey and I understand the strength and courage required to change.

I view therapy as an active and collaborative process that allows for flexibility and fluidity based on your individual needs over time. I take time to get to know you as an individual and how your lived experiences, including the influence of oppressive systems, transgenerational narratives, culture, community, family, and societal norms have had an impact on your holistic well-being. I stray away from Eurocentric practices that view people as a collection of symptoms that need to be 'fixed'. I view each client as a whole person with strengths they can utilize to build emotional foundations and achieve wellness.

Active listening, giving clients a lot of feedback and always focusing on the client's goals are hallmarks of my work. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience in individual, marital and family therapy. I was originally trained as a family therapist but have expanded over the years to other techniques-especially cognitive behavioral therapy. I have strong professional connections with psychiatrists if an evaluation for medication is necessary. My professional style is interactive, supportive and direct. I have a general practice with areas of specialty in depression, anxiety, eating disorders and grief work.

I am a down to earth and compassionate individual, couples and family therapist with over 25 years experience. Before going into full time private practice I worked in inpatient psychiatry and chemical dependency as a therapist and a supervisor in two teaching hospitals in Manhattan. I went on to conduct clinical training seminars for a mental health consulting agency across the country. I am skilled in evidence-based therapies for anxiety, mood disorders and addictions and enjoy nothing more than working collaboratively with clients to find fresh and creative solutions to the problems they present.

I am a mature and long-time clinician. I focus on family issues, parenting crises, divorce/custody, and the problems of older adults. In the past few years, I have become quite comfortable with virtual office treatment. I am warm and engaging and able to establish meaningful rapport. Virtual therapy isn’t comfortable for all but surprisingly it can offer an intensity that is sometimes not easily established in the traditional setting. I am glad to offer assistance with the technology of virtual therapy for those who are less experienced.

Over the past 42 years, I have devoted my practice to the treatment of people who want to feel happier with themselves, their relationships with their children, spouses, or family of origin. Many times people suffer from low self esteem, anxiety and depression. Parents come in with issues around their adolescent's behavior. Adults wish to improve how they communicate to their spouses, or would like to deal more effectively with problems at work and with bosses, or other authority figures. Many need help with everyday functioning, and some are struggling with confidence issues and initiative to set positive goals for the future.

As a systemic thinker, I am always looking at a person in relationship to their environment, and the people in it. With a strength-based approach in family therapy, I also use psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral principles, while providing a safe and empathic environment for our work together. I have treated families, couples and individuals for 16 years with a broad scope of culture, age and relational issues. I have helped many people through transitional events that affect them throughout their lives; school, career, marriage, parenting, illness, loss, divorce and retirement. My interest is in the relationship you have with yourself and those around you.

I have been working with families, individuals and couples for 35 years to identify and explore recurring patterns that prevent a person from living a rich, fulfilling and meaningful life. I collaborate with clients, using a Family Systems framework, to explore those issues that are contributing to relationship conflict, work difficulties and low self-esteem that often result in anxiety, depression and addiction. Our work together will explore roles, patterns, and conflicts in one's family of origin as well as how they continue to impede one's life in the present.

Marital problems? Sibling conflict? Anxiety? Unhappy? For over 30 years I have been helping people live happier and more peaceful lives. I specialize in couples conflict, marital disruption, family conflict, sibling relationships, anxiety, and loss. In my years of practice, I have found that most troubled marriages can be saved, anxiety can be greatly reduced, and lives made happier. Learn to take charge of your situation rather than it controlling you. I approach therapy as a pragmatic and positive process, focusing on quick change and meeting goals in a supportive environment of gentle confrontation, empathy and humor.

Do you ever feel like you “should” have everything sorted and things “should” be moving along as planned, but for some reason they are not? You have moments where you feel okay, even some days you feel good, but then even more moments where you feel overwhelmed, anxious and unsure about the future. Do you feel stuck, like you’re not in control of your own story? Are you ready to be more present, to find and cultivate greater levels of joy, peace and balance in a world that seems to be full of uncertainty. Together, I believe we can reach past our old habits and expand our ways of being and experiencing life with courage and grace.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step! Whether you are concerned about yourself, your child, a family member, or a friend, what has likely prompted the search that has brought you here is the hope that the quality of your life or the life of someone you love can improve. My approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and focuses not only on self-insight, but on translating insights into productive behavioral changes that can be seen as clear signs of progress and growth.

Discover the transformative power of working with a seasoned therapist who has dedicated their career to helping individuals and couples thrive. With extensive expertise in evidence-based interventions, I guide clients through the complexities of emotional reactivity and personal growth. Much of my practice is devoted to relationships, the source of our greatest joy as well as our most intense pain. I will help you get out of stuck patterns and then practice new skills that bring trust, intimacy and creativity back into your life. Central to my approach are empathy and attunement, vital therapeutic tools.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, nurturing and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients can openly express their emotional needs and find solutions to the challenges life brings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years experience specializing in preteens, adolescents, young adults and families. I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, low self esteem, bullying, relationship and peer issues, academic issues, loss and divorce I believe the most success in therapy comes from focusing on the individual's needs and building on their strengths.

Nothing in life is permanent; dealing with change and loss is inevitable. I believe that how we cope with these life transitions often defines who we are and who we will become. Working with people dealing with grief and loss, as well as with people in the arts confronting creative challenges, has been the focus of my practice for over 30 years. I've also worked extensively with young people who are gifted but considered "quirky" or socially awkward, with the goal of helping them realize the value of what they have to offer others.
