Welcome! I am a NJ licensed psychotherapist with 20+ years of experience assisting individuals with a wide array of issues. Are you experiencing the discomfort of severe anxiety, general sadness, frustration, disappointment, or low self-esteem?

In my practice, I offer a warm, compassionate approach that empowers you to navigate the complexities of your emotions. Life can be challenging, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or anger. But rest assured, these feelings do not define you. As we uncover the roots of your emotions, we can begin to identify patterns that may be holding you back. This process can be incredibly liberating, as it allows you to reclaim parts of yourself that may have been overshadowed by negativity or fear.

We all want to feel confident, balanced and "happy." The reality is we get stuck, confused, and unsure at times. Soon the frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness settles in. We want to feel that we have a choice. A choice that will make things better whether it is for ourselves, our relationship, or our children. I am here to listen to you, support you and help you find the answers you need to create your path forward.

My clinical approach is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. Empathy, validation, and the provision of a safe environment are essential aspects of a positive healing alliance. It will become easier to make more satisfying choices by gaining a fuller understanding of yourself. Together, we can develop an approach that feels comfortable and help you find greater fulfillment in your life.
