Taking the first step towards therapy can be a difficult process. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We can't change difficult situations of the past. We can work together to understand and resolve challenges in life. By applying integrative, holistic therapy approaches and techniques, we will identify behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more meaningful life. If you're looking for guidance through a challenging situation, I will help you to achieve your goals.

We will address your difficulties, help you identify your strengths and explore ways to make positive changes. I have thirty years of experience providing mental health, substance abuse and relationship treatment in numerous outpatient facilities including UMDNJ and Rutgers.

At times, we all need help navigating struggles that influence our relationships and quality of life. As a licensed psychotherapist, I emphasize the importance of the relationship between the client and therapist within a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Through the use of insight-oriented and collaborative therapy, a process of change can occur. The therapeutic process can be transformative.

Healthy is Wealth! Stress is a normal part of life caused by the challenges we face everyday. But when these challenges become overwhelming and lead to excessive crying, sadness, anxiousness, fatigue, or triggers us to abuse food, alcohol, drugs, or engage in risky activities, then it’s time to seek professional help. Negative thoughts/behaviors are our body's "alarm system" that informs us something's wrong and needs our attention. Left untreated, mental health problems can wreak havoc on our mind and body. Let's talk and see what's going on.

My ideal client would be motivated to achieve better for themselves. They could be coming for anxiety, issues in relationships, or a stressful life event. They would be choosing to focus on themselves, what they need, and seeking help. They may be struggling with negative self-thoughts and emotional regulation or simply need guidance in how to identify and verbalize their feelings. Their goals for therapy would be to process their thoughts and emotions while developing long-term skills to use in the future.

Most psychotherapy methods rely upon talking, but talking alone is not always enough. The most effective procedures bypass the talking process and meet emotional needs at a deeper level.

I am a psychoanalyst specializing in the phenomena of unconscious mental life. Patients are often referred to my practice after previous efforts have felt unhelpful, limited or kept one "stuck" in and out of therapy. My focus is both on the material functioning within awareness, and dynamics operating underneath our wish--and fears--to change. This substance generates felt and unfelt strife within all individuals, regardless of symptoms, situation or diagnosis. That is to say, there is invaluable MEANING and FUNCTION to any thought, feeling or behavior. We do not operate separately from our selves.

We all face struggles in life. Maybe relationships or sexual behavior seem "crazy” or consuming. Or, you might struggle with extreme eating habits, internet use, spending or another kind of compulsive behavior. Maybe your job exposes you to daily risk and tragedy and you're feeling the weight of it. Either way, you probably struggle to manage emotions, anxiety, loneliness, grief. All my clients deal with these kinds of things. It’s no coincidence they've also usually dealt with abuse, family dysfunction or trauma. Many have PTSD, C-PTSD or dissociative disorder.

What in your life is not working for you? What if you could identify it, explore it? change it? How would you be leading the life you seek? There is a gross misconception that therapy is for people who are chronically mentally ill. That is not my philosophy. I believe that anyone can be metaphorically driving their car on the road of life and end up off the road, maybe in a ditch. I believe in partnering with my clients to understand the struggle, whether a present challenge, an unresolved past issue, or facing an uncertain future. Together, we can put the car back on the road, or find an entirely new road to follow.

Therapy is not about being put in a box. Every person is different and their individual needs should be approached as such. I believe that therapy is to be tailor made for every person on a step-by-step basis. Individualized for the individual person.
