The ideal client is struggling with boundaries and stress management as they've begun caring for an aging parent while transitioning into a new career while maintaining a healthy marriage and sense of self. Caring for a parent comes with many experiences and emotions, as we can unexpectedly fall into the arena of grief and life as we know it. Maintaining healthy boundaries is an essential piece to effective communication and clarity.

We all struggle at times; emotional and psychological anguish are part of the human condition. And yet these challenges can be reframed as an indication that change may be helpful. I am a strong believer in the profound gift that mental health support can confer and that seeking therapeutic support is an act of self-empowerment and strength. I have a private practice in Princeton, NJ where I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, parenting concerns, family systems and eating disorders. In my private practice I work with preadolescents, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Being human is hard. In a world that conditions us to live an unconscious life, self-reflection & building our intuition is an act of rebellion. We all struggle to find meaning, balance, and peace within the chaos of living. Life inherently involves suffering, and sometimes navigating those big life transitions, traumas, or general feelings of anxiousness or lack of interest in life can get overwhelming. The choice to ask for support when we’re struggling is a radical act of self-care, bravery, and accountability.

I work primarily with older adults (62+) and the issues that they face at that time in their lives. Often these issues relate to anxiety about an illness that they or a loved one are experiencing. Caregiving a family member, particularly a spouse, creates a tremendous amount of stress in individuals. The sense of loss that occurs when a spouse has a chronic illness is profound. They grieve the dreams that they had for this time in their lives. Many times, a sense of isolation occurs with caring for, or the loss of a loved one.

I work with a range of problems:depression, anxiety, school refusal, child behavior problems, arrested emotional independence, substance abuse recovery, anorexia, and family and couples' conflict. In child-focused issues, I believe children should not alone bear the burden of change. I enlist family members as a resource in problem-solving. Parents and I work as a team to help their children. I welcome individuals, couples, and families whose problems have not been successfully addressed through other therapeutic approaches.

Yogi Berra was on to something when he said "“Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical." The only thing is, baseball is not the only sport that is impacted by the mental side of the game. In fact the mental component is important in anything related to performance; sports, public speaking, music, emergency-work, military, etc. As a mental performance coach, I help client's with topics including, but not limited to: confidence, anxiety, injury and return to play, stress management, communication, recruiting, relationship dynamics, relaxation, focus, and performing under pressure
