Throughout life’s many stages, everyone faces difficult challenges which can cause us to feel anxious, depressed, angry, stuck and even defeated. As difficult as these times may be, you do not have to go through them alone. Personal growth is possible.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in both New Jersey and New York. My clinical practice focuses on working with children, adolescent, adults, couples, and families with a variety of concerns ranging from adjustment reactions to severe mental illness. I also provide psychological testing for differential diagnosis, psychoeducational evaluations, and cognitive/executive functioning difficulties.

Taking the step to enter into therapy takes courage and demonstrates a high level of personal commitment. It is a risk, and that risk needs to be acknowledged. Each of us has needs that should be met with flexibility and adaptation if we are to feel secure in sharing our private lives with another. My therapeutic approach is guided by theory and 10 years of clinical experience. At the same time, I provide a reliable, empathic, and safe environment for you to gain deeper insight into who you are and what you need, in order to find greater meaning and enjoyment in life.

Many things can trigger a call to a therapist: Overwhelming anxiety, persistent feelings of depression, unfulfilling or problematic relationships at home or at work, or sudden changes in life circumstances (health, financial, or interpersonal). Talking to a therapist in a supportive environment can be very helpful. Therapy helps you figure out what you want to get out of life, identify what gets in your way, and work out new ways of approaching your goals. When you come in regularly to talk, exploring patterns and identifying factors that interfere with achieving goals, your life tends to improve.

I welcome the opportunity to work with adolescents and adults at various stages of the human-life-cycle. I often work with people who feel stifled by feelings of anxiety and panic, depleted by feelings of depression or emptiness, or reactive and out-of-control due to feelings of rage. While these powerful feelings can be overwhelming and disruptive, they are usually signs that something essential to our vitality, body, or relationships needs to be sensitively attended to and addressed. I provide a welcoming and confidential environment where a safe space is co-created and trust can develop over time.
