Therapists in Kendall Park, NJ

We all have our secrets, our stories, our pasts. Through therapy, my hope is to help you find a path out of the woods and back into the light. I believe in developing skill sets and finding insight to promote healing from the myriad of difficulties that can be faced throughout one’s life.

Sometimes life can shift out of balance and we may notice feeling “off," or lose sight of our purpose and meaning. Whether dealing with everyday stressors or significant life transitions, we may feel frustrated and overwhelmed.

Together we will develop a plan that targets your areas of concern. As part of the therapy process, I will teach you empowering techniques that will enable you, after you leave therapy, to become your own master therapist to yourself.
