Therapists in Annandale, NJ

I welcome all clients who would like to improve their well being and their family, intimate, or work relationships. I will help you gain greater insight into your behaviors and feelings so that you may ultimately make choices to live a more free, fulfilled, happy life.

Stuck in a rut? There's a way out. I specialize in sex therapy and trauma. I have extensive experience in individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy. I use methods that examine the root causes of behavioral and emotional patterns which lead to depression, anxiety, alcohol dependence, substance abuse, thought distortions, relationship attachments, erectile dysfunction, or vaginal anesthesia. Where medication is ineffective, intensive therapy sessions have the power to change the paralyzing state of our psychological and physical condition. The causes may be situational, easily detected, but others may be deeper, stored in our rigidified muscles, buried in the remote recess of our minds.

Have you found yourself silenced by the overwhelming stress of life? Do you experience the frustration of not being truly heard by those closest to you? Have you been grappling with the rollercoaster of emotions without clearly understanding why? If you've reached a point where you yearn to regain control over your emotions and seek inner peace and self-love, you're not alone. I'm here to support and guide you on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

Hello! I am a doctorate level Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years experience working with people of all ages with a variety of issues and concerns. I named my practice Vantage Point Counseling because a vantage point is a place or position affording a good view of something. My goal is to help you do just that: I want to help you achieve wellness and enhance your ability to cope, overcome barriers or past experiences, and experience the change you're looking for.

There is no on-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed space for you to feel comfortable and work collaboratively with me through psychodynamic approaches to individual and relationship therapy.

Finding a trustworthy and compassionate individual with whom you can be vulnerable and share your most fragile moments, is necessary in order for healing to occur. My approach is collaborative in nature and tailored to fulfill each client’s needs. My goal is to help the individual, couple, or family explore, identify, and change cycles that maintain suffering in life.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.
