Do you feel like a stranger to yourself? Are you struggling to keep up with life's quick pace? Stuck in place unable to find the motivation to keep moving? Is emotional weight limiting your day-to-day functioning? Life can feel unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overwhelming, leaving you feeling powerless and paralyzed. Friends and family may try to help by telling you to "look on the bright side" and telling you that they know how you feel. I do not know how you feel, nor does anyone else. I am, however, willing to walk beside you and help you navigate life currents in a way that best fits you and your needs.

Everyone around you has moved on. Your therapist is helping you cope. Your friends are tired of hearing about it. But you are not okay — and you know that what's happening to you is bigger than coping strategies and breathing exercises can touch. Maybe you've been told you're depressed. Maybe you are. But something in you knows this is more than a chemical imbalance. This is a reckoning. You need someone who has been here before. Someone who won't flinch. Someone who knows the difference between a problem to be solved and a life that is changing you from the inside out.

I work with adults, adolescents and couples to navigate a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem, and cancer-related challenges.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel both daunting and empowering. It’s a courageous decision to take control of your own healing, self-growth, and personal discovery. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, understanding, and empowerment. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.

Little Silver, NJ 07739
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.

Cancer Therapists
How does cancer affect mental health?
A cancer diagnosis is a major life event that can significantly influence the mental health of any individual. Being diagnosed with cancer often introduces a sense of uncertainty about the future, which can cause clients to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and significant distress. Many cancer patients may also worry about the toll that their diagnosis may have on their family, their physical health, their job, and their financial situation. The compounding of such stressors can also decrease mental health in clients and may lead to additional symptoms that can influence mental health, such as sleeping difficulties or social withdrawal.

What is the best psychological therapy for cancer patients?
The best type of psychological therapy for cancer patients is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. The therapy type that a client benefits from may also depend on what stage of the cancer journey they are in. Recently diagnosed cancer patients, for instance, may benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help clients develop skills to manage the emotional distress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Alternatively, cancer patients further along in their journey may benefit from therapies like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or other forms of mindfulness therapy to help manage symptoms or physical pain associated with treatment. Clients may also consider group therapy, which offers cancer patients an opportunity to receive support from other individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Are there any risks or drawbacks in going to therapy while dealing with cancer?
Although attending therapy while dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be helpful, one major concern for cancer patients can be the financial cost of seeking therapy. Many therapists are out-of-network, meaning they do not accept insurance, and thus clients are expected to pay the entirety of the session fee. Since many cancer patients may be out of work as a result of their diagnosis or cancer treatment regimen, the costs of therapy sessions can be substantial. Luckily, many cancer centers and local clinics may offer free or substantially reduced-cost counseling services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, cancer patients may be eligible for grants or other forms of funding from local agencies and nonprofits to seek therapy for their cancer diagnosis. Such opportunities can be very helpful for cancer patients, as they allow clients to obtain the benefits of therapy without the financial strain.

How long does cancer therapy typically last?
The length of cancer therapy depends on the needs of each client. In some cases, cancer patients may only require therapeutic support during the period following their initial diagnosis—to help manage the uncertainty and shock of a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, clients may choose to receive therapy throughout their treatment, and even following, their cancer journey. Pursuing therapy for a longer period of time can help clients develop a deeper relationship with their therapist and provide opportunity to process the challenges presented by cancer treatment, such as physical pain, and challenges associated with cancer survivorship, such as ongoing identity concerns, physical limitations, or relationship challenges.
