Each person looking for a therapist has their own reasons. Some look for support during a life crisis others choose to look at their life and their relationships. I employ concrete solution based methods in order to help my clients learn about themselves and communicate more effectively with others. In an atmosphere that is safe and supportive, clients can express themselves fully without the fear of judgement.

I am a warm and empathetic therapist in clinical practice for over 25 years, I appreciate how difficult it is to talk to someone about very personal and challenging issues. I believe that a person can grow and empower oneself via talk therapy and building a therapeutic alliance. My specialties include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, issues of cancer survivors, grief counseling, change of life issues, divorce, marital and couples counseling. My practice draws upon cognitive behavioral, motivational theory, DBT(Dialectic Behavioral Theory), mindfulness and interpersonal dynamics. I work with individuals (age 18 and older), couples and families.

I believe that therapy is an opportunity for people to get the most out of life. It is a reflection of one’s courage to face familial changes, life stressors and significant emotional experiences. An overarching goal of my practice is to utilize one’s talents, strengths, creativity, wisdom and optimism to help individuals regain control of their complicated lives. As such, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches. I find that Psychodynamic Therapy can be particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining relationships.

I have been in private practice for more than 20 years. I work in Northern New Jersey and provide short-term psychotherapy using psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and sensorimotor psychotherapy. I feel using an integrated model produces the best results. Every client is different so it's necessary to use multiple modalities --a one size fits all model does not work in therapy. I like working in partnership with clients. I am approachable, warm, nurturing and active in my sessions. I believe it's essential to be available to clients and return phone calls and emails on a timely basis

My extensive training and experience (certified psychoanalyst, sex therapist, hypnotherapy, somatic experiencing, EMDR) allows me to treat a wide variety of issues successfully. (adolescent to adults). Clients with complicated problems who have been treated by other therapists unsuccessfully seek my help because of my motivational ,self -powering approach to treating clients ranging from sexual concerns (dysfunctions, abuse, infidelity, compulsive behavior, gender dysphoria), acute and post trauma stress to personality and mood disorders.
