Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in Red Bank, NJ

Are you troubled & stressed in a relationship, but don't know how to change things? Do you say "yes" when you want to say "no"? Are you covering up your pain with destructive behaviors? Do you judge yourself harshly & feel you are just never 'good enough'? Negative thoughts, anxiety & low self esteem can be an enormous burden, making it a crushing chore to just get through your day. They effect your relationships, your ability to work and can lead to substance abuse, over eating and other behaviors that can pull you in to a downward spiral that is hard to break free from.

I am a licensed psychologist in NJ, NY & PA for over 35 years. I incorporate a holistic approach, emphasizing mind, body, spirit and emotion. I am passionate about our work together & I still approach each person enthusiastically & with great respect. My work increases your ability to feel, to love, to hope, to heal, and to succeed. Clients are helped to problem solve and live in joy and peace rather than in pain and fear. This process involves in depth explorations of understanding purpose in life via prayer, mindfulness meditation, exploring and understanding thoughts, emotions, behaviors & the importance of true spirituality.

Helping clients work towards their goals and obtain a healthier lifestyle by implementing coping skills and understanding the interaction of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.
