Italian Therapists in Williamstown, NJ

Se sta pensando di chiamarmi, è per almeno una di queste ragioni: ha dedicato senza successo considerevole energia e tempo a risolvere la sua ansia, le sue paure, le sue ossessioni, le sue perdite e il suo trauma, la sua tristezza, i suoi fallimenti nelle sue relazioni o nella sua produttività; é stanco di ripetere gli stessi errori e comportamenti e non é stato in grado di cambiare; é stato respinto, ha sperimentato di non essere amato, compreso, preso nella sua unicità; o non ha fatto tutto ciò che desidera per essere più coraggioso, creativo, per essere più come persona.

I enjoy working with couples to help them communicate and rediscover a love that builds beyond barriers. I also enjoy helping families learn to relate to one another and tackle problems as a team. I strive to equip clients with tools to cultivate greater self-awareness and overcome whatever obstacles they face. My approach takes into account counseling techniques that are incredibly useful in multicultural communities, helping clients to break free from old patterns and navigate new meaning in their life and relationships.

Life has become an endless string of chores. You've gotten good at smiling on the outside, but internally you're just going through the motions. The loneliness, exhaustion, and lack of motivation are eating at you. Despite the well-meant advice from friends and family members you still feel stuck, unable to live your life fully. You know you desperately need to find meaning and purpose, but you barely know how you got here, much less how to begin fixing it. Symptoms of depression are often related to traumatic experiences.

Understanding that psychotherapy is such a personal matter, I feel the best approach is one that is very patient centered. That means I tailor therapy to meet the individual needs of each client. I believe in working together collaboratively to set achievable therapy goals toward the desired outcome of therapy, so you can experience greater happiness, stability and a more meaningful life. I have experience in multiple treatment modalities & utilize an integrative approach so that I can apply what will be most effective and best suited to you. Most clients find this approach helpful and sensitive to their needs. I know you will too.

I have been in healthcare as a mental health professional for over 35 years. As an integrative psychotherapist I combine both science and a broad spectrum of spiritual philosophies and practices. I assist by providing guidance and direction to those who seek healing. I work with you putting the pieces of the puzzle together helping you towards relief and ultimately peace. The combination of the traditional psychotherapeutic clinically based training and the multiple spiritual models of thought and various ideologies together are extremely successful and offer hope in healing.

We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.

I believe that a client that comes to session in good faith to genuinely seek treatment is most likely to achieve their therapeutic goals. Any client who takes that first step to therapy is showing great courage. Once in therapy, simply being themselves and being open to the process will lead to exploration, goal setting and positive change leading to a happier, healthier way of life.
