Therapists in River Edge, NJ

In my practice I work with adults coping with depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relationship struggles, substance abuse and other problems of adjustment. My work with children and adolescents include: learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, oppositional defiance, anxiety, depression, and family conflict. I believe that a collaborative alliance based on mutual respect and understanding is the cornerstone of therapeutic change. I encourage client's to take an active role in the therapeutic process, while I aspire to remain as transparent as possible in this collaborative partnership.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! I strive to create a non-judgmental environment for my clients where they feel welcomed, respected, heard, and have the support they deserve while collaboratively working towards their goals. The most rewarding part about being a mental health counselor is being able to witness individuals bettering themselves and overcoming obstacles whether they are big or small. As a counselor, I know that every individual is unique; therefore, I work with the client based on their needs and at a pace they are comfortable with, while also trying to challenge them in making steps towards their progress.

Everyone goes through life picking up burdens—these can be unhelpful thoughts, difficult emotions, or challenging experiences. My goal is to help you understand how these burdens affect you so that you can create greater choice and intention in your life, increase richness and meaning, and decrease suffering. I believe the most important part of therapy is a trusting and genuine relationship between the therapist and client. My approach to therapy is collaborative and individualized. We will work together to observe what happens between us and how we each contribute to the relationship dynamic that emerges in the session.

My journey as mental health counselor has led me to work closely with survivors of intimate partner violence, providing a compassionate space for healing and growth.

I'm a dedicated mental health counselor with over a decade of experience specializing in aiding couples, individuals grappling with depression or ADHD, and guiding adolescents through their unique struggles.

Change is hard. Despite our best intentions, we get stuck in the same habits, thoughts and feelings. If you’re feeling anxious or depressed, wanting more out of your relationships, or seeking a more meaningful and nourishing day-to-day, let me help you get “unstuck” and take that first step. As a clinical psychologist, I offer a warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental space where we can explore challenges, establish goals, and work together to attain them. You'll learn to utilize your strengths to develop coping mechanisms for overwhelming feelings or thoughts, deepen your relationships, and make sustainable changes to your own life.

Ever wonder if drinking, substance use, or disordered eating are starting to become a problem? Look no further. People come to me to figure out how to heal their relationship with food and their bodies - to overcome perfectionism and people pleasing - to stop relying on alcohol and drugs to make the pain stop. Taking the first step towards asking for help is hard, but know that I will welcome you without judgement. I know that you’re here because you want the cycle to stop. I want to help you develop the skills to stop obsessing, to stop beating yourself up, and to remove the things that get in the way of you living your life.

Pain is an unfortunate reality of the human experience. Sometimes, our attempts to control or avoid pain, whether it's physical, psychological, or otherwise, also pulls us away from other things in our lives that are important to us, resulting in a less fulfilling life. Your decision to pursue therapy is a significant step towards finding a more workable way to manage the things in your life that cause pain. My therapeutic approach is focused on learning to step out of the struggle against your pain and use the strengths you already possess to put you in the driver's seat of your life and be your best and most genuine self.
