Grief Therapists in Morris Plains, NJ

The connection between a therapist and their client is often a key aspect in the process of therapy. A therapist can have many credentials but if your clients do not connect with you, then an essential component of therapy is missing. My goal is to help people overcome issues getting in the way of living a happy and productive life. I believe in creating an atmosphere of encouragement, optimism and compassion in order to help people utilize their strengths to create change in their lives. I focus on helping people realize their strengths as well as the areas they would like to grow in and develop further.

Are your worries weighing you down? Are you facing a crisis? Do you wish you could more easily roll with life's punches? Would you like to feel better understood by your friends, family, coworkers? Have you lost a loved one? Together we can look at what it is that is bringing you uneasiness, and work toward calming those ideas and feelings that may be keeping you up at night.

You, or perhaps someone close to you, may have been struggling with a problem for some time and now have made the decision to seek professional assistance. This step comes neither easily nor comfortably. Feelings of apprehension, reluctance, and ambivalence are normal. Contrary to any self-talk that seeking help is a "sign of weakness", it is just the opposite. Engaging in therapeutic change is a bold and courageous act. I welcome hearing from you and will gladly discuss any matter of concern confidentially.

A positive relationship with a therapist involves trust and a feeling of being understood. I work with individuals, families and couples.

I help my clients to better understand themselves, their life situations and their relationships. It is through this understanding and caring where growth and change can occur. The goal for our work together is for clients to develop their unique strengths, make good choices for themselves and move towards living a more fulfilling life.

Sometimes life gets complicated. Confronting and discussing your feelings requires strength. In my experience, things that are never discussed are never resolved. The decision to ask for help with your concerns is a tremendous step forward. When choosing a counselor, look for someone you can easily sit across from. Then ask yourself, do you feel heard? I have listened to hundreds of stories. I respect each one as it reflects that person's journey through life. I feel privileged to play a part in that journey. I promise to do my best to help you find your way! Thank you.

Therapy is a process. I believe the most important elements include forming a meaningful connection, recognizing strengths, and facilitating unique pathways to growth and change. Life can be challenging, it is full of both wonder and adversity, we are all on a journey and at times it can be helpful to talk about what is going on. The last several years have been different than anything we have experienced. The wish to have everything return to "normal" is at times overpowering. Pandemic stress on top of life is a lot. It is important to practice self care and to reach out for support when needed.
