Therapists in West New York, NJ

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

Too often individuals & couples self-impose obstacles to their own happiness. Within a warm, caring atmosphere, I endeavor to help rid clients of these roadblocks--to get them unstuck from repetitive, unproductive behaviors and/or relational patterns so that they may move on to richer fuller lives. While nurturing & supportive, I am active & solution focused, concentrating on the present with an understanding of the past.

Why therapy?: As I like to tell clients, "you don't have to talk to everyone but you have to talk to someone" Sometimes, that someone is a professional listener, something I have been doing for over 25 years. Fortunately, it doesn't get old!

Are you struggling with grief, loss, or anxiety? Grief is so painful that it can feel paralyzing. Although we often associate grief with death, it can be caused by many different events : anticipating the loss of a loved one while they’re still alive, the loss of your own bodily autonomy due to illness or disability, divorce, domestic violence or abuse, loss of a job, miscarriage, and abortion, among many others. Any major life transition may create a sense of grief or anxiety. Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid and suppress these emotions. This can lead to prolonged grief - intense sorrow and an inability to enjoy life.
