Anger Management Therapists in Princeton, NJ

Therapy is a deeply personal and individual experience requiring care and understanding. I provides clients with a safe space to be heard without judgment, bias, or fear of recourse. I approaches therapy with the perspective that we are forming a relationship to tackle your struggles collaboratively, while keeping in mind your feelings, concerns and goals.

Congratulations on taking the first step to bettering your life by looking for a therapist! I believe therapy is an opportunity for those who are committed to improving their well being, life and moods. Life is busy and filled with distraction; everyone owes it to themselves to join with me on a supportive therapeutic journey leading to understanding, growth, change and happiness. This self-journey will enlighten you to identify supports and resources, learn healthy coping skills and decrease defeating symptomatology in a non-judgmental and compassionate environment.

The decision to enter counseling is a personal one. Many questions may come with this decision including: • How can counseling help me? • How do I find the right counselor? • What can I expect at a counseling session? • When will I start to feel better? Through supportive listening, compassionate humor, and collaboration, my goal is to help you challenge unhealthy ways of functioning, cope with life stressors, and identify what is going well. Positive recognition is key to feeling good about ourselves and helps inspire wellness and success.

In my 5 years of counseling experience I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of individuals, families, and groups. I have had the privilege to work with many children and have experience with ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, and PTSD. I have also lead youth groups focusing on the building of social and coping skills which have included working on the art of conversation (putting down the devices), and anger management . I have worked with families identifying conflicts and working on strategies to better manage children. Additionally I have experience with relationship counseling, divorce, anxiety and depression.

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 .

We all experience hardship. I believe that counseling is a powerful tool to help us navigate our daily journey and grow. In the midst of adversity, we can cultivate strength and reach goals that may seem impossible. I partner with clients to identify their needs and strategies to reach their goals. My role is to help identify and cultivate these strengths through focusing on skills such as communication, emotional regulation, coping, feeling identification and self-advocacy. I believe that each individual has personal strengths and each family system has strengths and resources to meet their needs and reach their goals.

Therapy can be a richly rewarding process. Most important to its success is first establishing a non-judgmental, collaborative relationship so together we can identify and flexibly address your particular needs. From there our work may include identifying familiar patterned behaviors and learning specific coping and problem solving skills to allow for new ways to relate to yourself, to others, to strengthen your mind, and deepen your emotional resilience. Our work will draw on a combination of treatment modalities including short-term solution-focused practices, mindfulness, and neurobiological understandings.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger . I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

Over the past 20+ years, I have been working with adults, adolescents, and children in individual, couples, and family therapy. I listen closely to my clients to understand their current problems and related symptoms, thoughts, and feelings. I work collaboratively with clients to investigate the history of their struggles and to create a plan for change. Using cognitive, behavioral, and emotion-focused approaches, I aim to facilitate healing, growth, and change. Having spent much of my career as a scientist-practitioner, my clinical work is informed by empirical findings. My treatment approach is reasoned, compassionate, and practical.

After 28 years working with children, teens and adults who exhibit anxiety, depression, ADHD and anger issues, I am clear that true therapeutic change can be accelerated through a combination of traditional talk therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques and brain-based interventions. My utilization of EFT acupressure , Brainspotting and the Havening Techniques have reduced therapy time for the treatment of ADHD, anxiety and have given people TOOLS that they can utilize outside of the therapy office.

First and foremost, I want my clients to feel comfortable in their own skin. My goal is to provide my clients with a safe and supportive space, free of judgment. I'm passionate about my practice and have put my heart and soul into it. I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with a wide variety of issues. I enjoy working with couples, often to help them first determine if this is the right relationship for them - and if it is, we can explore ways to heal and strengthen it.

With 25 years in practice, I treat a broad spectrum of problems across the life span. Utilizing a developmental perspective and extensive training (Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and Hypnotherapy), I customize treatment to your needs, in a warm and judgment free atmosphere supportive of personal growth. I am interested in how feelings, thoughts and behaviors intersect, or form patterns that play a role in distress and adaptation. I can help you, your child or family to see how these forces affect your well being and how they can shift to ease tensions and to create new perspectives and changes that allow for more fulfilling experiences.

Welcome! I have had over 25 years of experience working as a Psychotherapist. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults through individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy.

Although we are all unique and complex, individuals across cultures have an innate tendency to think in unhelpful ways and engage in acts of self-defeat (even despite our best efforts not to). Common self-defeating behaviors that I often help others with include: avoidance/decision paralysis, isolation, procrastination, passive or aggressive communication, substance, sex, or gambling addiction, and self-injury. These self-defeating behaviors are often closely linked to unhealthy negative emotions that you may also be experiencing such as: depression, anxiety, anger , guilt, shame, hurt, envy, and jealousy.

Everyone experiences challenges in their lives. I am here to help you process and navigate through life issues in a positive way! I provide insightful and creative guidance to assist you in achieving your personal goals!
