Therapists in Teaneck, NJ

I am a trained Psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults who are seeking support in exploring a range of issues that include anxiety, depression, concerns with relationships, life transitions, and managing professional life. Human beings seek happiness, fulfillment and meaningful connection, but often struggle with common issues around these areas. I strive to create a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment where we can work together on exploring obstacles that are impeding on your personal happiness and interpersonal satisfaction.

I specialize in helping people through life challenges while enhancing their mental well-being. Whether you're looking to improve your mood, manage anxiety, build better relationships, or excel in school or at work, my goal is to help you achieve your potential in a supportive and non-judgmental space.

Being a young professional often means navigating relationships, combating anxiety, and figuring out one’s place in the workplace. The path forward may not always be intuitive, and sometimes the biggest obstacle is ourselves. The good news is that we have the ability to tap into our internal resources to improve our lives and wellbeing.

I believe that each person has a unique self that must respected, recognized and understood. In order to find the right therapist I feel that there has to be a sense of connection and trust that develops over time. I try to help people understand how connections to their past and their fear of the future and of change keeps them trapped in cycles of behavior amd relationships that hinder their chances for a more fulfilling life and following their goals and dreams. I can work with anyone who attempts this experience of working together and exploring their life issues.

Are you in need of some additional help to manage a situation or stressor that life has handed you? Are you looking to talk to someone who understands how to manage the obstacles you may be facing? If so, you will find me to be warm, empathic, and down-to-earth, with extensive training, skill, and experience. We will work collaboratively, with a flexible approach, to identify, explore, and address any challenges you are facing to help you live a more fulfilled and productive life. I work well with those who are motivated to make explorations about their lives using problem solving and insight-oriented approaches.

I work with people who feel stuck and tethered to old ways of being. I work in a flexible, broad based manner using strategies to help with immediate relief of symptoms and in a more open-ended way to help cultivate curiosity and interest in who you are and what you want from life. I believe therapy is about finding the freedom from within to make life more of what you want it to be.

I've been practicing since 2003. My approach is to guide people beyond their immediate struggles by helping them understand themselves better and by tapping into their natural abilities to help themselves overcome challenges. My insight-oriented approach helps clients get to the root of what is troubling them and relieves their symptoms.
