Aetna Therapists in East Hanover, NJ

I’ve helped thousands of clients cope with depression, anxiety, illness and relationships for over 25 years. I use cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and family systems therapies, but am flexible and personalize my approach for the specific situation and client needs. I work with individuals, families and couples, combining support, insight, cognitive and relaxation/imagery techniques. Trained as an undergraduate at Penn State, and at University of Texas at Austin for my masters, I’ve supervised and managed many psychotherapists at hospitals and mental health agencies.

Many times our lives are driven by fears and hopes. Learning how to listen to ourselves and others can be difficult at times. Looking for counseling is the first step towards growth. Counseling provides the power to find happiness through meaning, and creating the freedom for a healthy life.

Hello and welcome! I know sometimes reaching out for support can be challenging or scary, unsure of what to expect, but I am here to walk with you through the journey. I believe it is important to meet you where you are at and provide you with the support, empathy, and compassion needed to help you reach your goals. Each client is different and thus it is important that each session be tailored to specific needs so that he/she can feel comfortable and work towards understanding himself/herself today in order to reach a brighter future tomorrow.

I give my clients tools to: manage difficult situations & relationships, make better decisions, manage feelings of anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, anger, grief, or loss, and to learn healthier ways of thinking. I work with single adults regarding dating, finding the right partner and coping with being alone. As children, many of my clients experienced trauma, abuse, abandonment, or had alcoholic parents. As adults, some of my clients have had partners or siblings with addiction. Together we address their codependent issues and raise self esteem. More than anything, I help my clients put their past in the past.

I am currently accepting new clients from all walks of life for individual teletherapy sessions. I have had the privilege to provide therapy for a diverse group of clients with a variety of mental health issues such as navigating life transitions, struggles with their self-esteem, depression, low mood, as well as anxiety. I view therapy as a partnership in supporting your mental health struggles and goals. My approach to counseling is non-judgmental and compassionate. You are not alone with the things you are struggling with, and I am here to help support you with those things.

Therapy is a journey that promotes growth, insight, new perspectives, confidence, and healing. I approach therapy with a deep sense of compassion and empathy.

I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space where we will develop a plan that is unique to your strengths and needs, as well as discovering what is holding you back from growing and thriving.

Whether you are having difficulties navigating the nuances of a relationship, parenting, multicultural issues, gender identity issues, self esteem or anxiety, I can help.

Life is always in motion. While it can be reassuring to know that you're headed somewhere, it's just as easy to feel like you're going in circles. While their situations were unique, the people I've worked with over the years often sought support when they felt lost or disconnected. For some, these feelings were lifelong. For others, they arose following changes, like suffering a loss, entering a new stage or life, or receiving a diagnosis of serious mental illness. Therapy helps you process these challenges and rediscover your true self.

I am a therapist for over 35 years, and have brought support, relief, guidance and insight to my patients. I customize my approach to support each person's needs and motivations to ensure that the therapy is guided by what each person may need, whether it is goal directed, insight oriented, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness based strategies, or unburdening their fears and concerns in a safe environment.

As a LCSW, I work with clients facing depression, stress and anxiety. I strive to provide a warm, supportive environment where each individual feels heard and respected while they move towards a greater understanding of their own concerns and solutions to problems. I use an eclectic, client-centered approach based on the needs of each individual. I work with parents to help them understand developmentally, how to be an effective parent and help their child cope effectively. I focus on helping clients improve communication, coping and resiliency.
