Therapists in Princeton, NJ

Many of my clients share a need to explore familial relationships to understand their behavioral patterns and how to make those patterns healthier. Others struggle with anxiety or depression and wish to learn coping skills to better handle the challenges of daily life. Additionally, I have worked with Princeton undergraduate and graduate students for many years and understand well the many and varied challenges which students may face.

Calling upon my 20+ year experience as a training and development executive combined with my degree in counseling, I provide a unique perspective and approach to counseling. My specialty is a solution-based, action-oriented model. I counsel individuals, couples & families who are facing significant life transitions, including career/job, relationship/marriage, health/wellness, or specific goal-seeking issues. I partner with my clients to address their impediments to change. By crafting a strategy to achieve personal and professional goals, including identifying the psychological barriers to achieving them, I help turn these goals into reality.

From an early age, we all learn ways to cope with stress, change, and new relationships. Sometimes, familiar coping strategies, which may have served you well in the past, are no longer effective as life inevitably changes. You may feel "stuck" in these moments and at a loss for how to move forward. I work to provide a safe therapy space to explore feelings of sadness, worry, and uncertainty. Together, we can develop new coping strategies and create a plan for positive change that feels meaningful to you.

TELEMEDICINE AVAILABLE. Is your teenager's behavior affecting relationships or school performance? Is your family having difficulty communicating in a healthy and calm manner? Or, are you experiencing stress from life circumstances? I can help. We all face times when we feel overwhelmed, sad, anxious, angry, or even confused about situations. At times, those feelings can make it difficult to fulfill your goals. I will empower you to build your strengths and bring joy into your life.

Courage. That is what I hear when I am contacted for consultation. We collaborate in a supportive environment to face challenges like being single (again), grief, strengthening a marriage, #MeToo, anxiety, codependency, impostor syndrome or burnout. Together, we understand and transform barriers that block you from what you want in life. I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma/neglect. I have experience working with people from a variety of ethnicities, religious/spiritual backgrounds and sexual orientations. We will mindfully, focus on the present and briefly visit the past when it is influencing the present.

Are you looking for a warm and sensible therapist? Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Does your family life involve too much arguing and too little fun?

Life is filled with many opportunities as well as challenges. My goal is to help children and adolescents recognize and seize those opportunities and overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in their way. By helping them create a positive mindset, build effective coping strategies, and expand their repertoire of problem-solving skills, they can live a healthy, satisfying, and successful social and academic life. The earlier these skills are cultivated within the child or adolescent, the greater the opportunities to practice and utilize them to their benefit. Please visit my website: www.childresilience.com

I utilize a holistic therapeutic approach to support your mind and body's specific needs. In seeing you as a whole, I am able to use both psychotherapy and integrative medicine to target your symptoms. I have experience with trauma, domestic violence/sexual assault survivors, chronic illness/pain, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress/fatigue. As your therapist, my goal is to help you discover the root of your symptoms, alleviate pain and stress through lifestyle changes and processing, and teach you evidence-based skills to improve daily functioning.

We have all been broken by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and sometimes we feel so broken that we are unable to pick up the pieces alone, but, fear not! Mental, emotional, spiritual, occupational, and social wellness is a process and not a state of mind. It is a level of perfection we ought to continually strive for, because those fragmented pieces of our lives CAN be put back together. Relationships CAN be mended, and CHANGE IS POSSIBLE, but it doesn't just happen; we have to be intentional. "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." -MLK

My approach to therapy is compassionate and respectful. In addition to gaining greater understanding of your self, therapy is an opportunity to learn specific skills and techniques for meeting your goals and feeling better. I value therapy as a time to face difficulties and break free from unsatisfying ways of feeling, thinking, or being in relationships with others. As a clinical psychologist, I am experienced in helping clients struggling with anxiety, low mood, painful or intense emotions, problems in close relationships, and self-criticism.

Once stated by Erik Erickson, "Children love and want to be loved and they very much prefer the joy of accomplishment". My passion comes from working with children, adolescents, and families as they learn and grow together while celebrating the joys of their own accomplishments. Providing support while managing a variety of life stressors including but not limited to school difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, and defiance are my specialty. I have gained this specialty through my work while providing therapy in Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and School Based Programs. Having the privilege to provide you with empathy, warmth, and empowerment on this journey is my hope.

My ideal client has concrete goals that he/she is looking to reach with the help of therapy, where therapy is seen as an active process that requires work on the part of the client.

I assist adults, teenagers and children to improve the quality of their lives by identifying and resolving issues themselves and in relationships with others. I help people to know that having problems is normal, but that it also normal to resolve problems. People learn that by taking control of their lives, they reduce depression, anxiety and anger.
