Therapists in Wyckoff, NJ

A variety of reasons draw people to therapy. Perhaps you’re looking to develop coping skills to manage difficult symptoms which make daily functioning a challenge. Maybe you’re looking for a clearer understanding of why you interact with important people the way in which you do. Or, maybe it’s a combination of the above or to get help for your child’s emotional health as a result of family concerns, anxiety, depression or peer issues. If any of these reasons resonate, I think you’ll find my respectful, non judgmental, warm and collaborative approach to be just what you need in your journey towards greater well being.

I am an experienced and devoted therapist who believes that self-understanding is the catalyst for change. When you choose to explore life challenges in the context of a safe and therapeutic relationship then healing and new ways of being in the world become possible for you.

I will help you to recognize that through this process, you will gain more control over the choices you make and discover how to attain your goals.

I focus on determining or locating the root of the issues.

Growing up in the world today has become exceptionally challenging for our youth. With technology and social media, families are confronted with more adversity than ever before. In our journey toward healthy development and happiness, we are experiencing escalating levels of pressure to achieve and "fit-in", when, in reality, we are all seeking a sense of belonging. Many parents and their children are trying to cope with depression/anxiety, social conflict, including bullying, and often traumatic experiences or exposure to traumatic events, which manifest in self-destructive behavior, low self-esteem, and social isolation.

I believe that the success of therapy lies within the therapeutic relationship. As a psychologist I know that therapy can be an anxiety producing process, therefore I do my best to make my patients feel comfortable. I am very interactive and I often ask questions and offer suggestions. My ideal client is a child, adolescent, or adult that is experiencing anxiety; either generalized or concerning a specific issue. I work within a cognitive behavioral modality, offering ways to empower patients to help themselves cope with their symptoms of anxiety. I specialize in helping patients deal with anxiety, depression or life changes such as divorce.

Is life passing you by because of the same repetitive patterns? Indecisive about important issues? Is your inner monolog disallowing you to envision a deeply satisfying life, settling for less because you can't find your true potential. I am a counselor and life coach with extensive experience addressing struggles with self esteem, marital discord, single and coparenting, divorce healing, infidelity and relationship issues. Employing a collaborative and directive approach, I help individuals through talk therapy, non judgmental support and other integrated modalities. Therapeutic relationships create a new view on the world and a safe space to discuss emotional challenges.

It is an excellent source of support needed to achieve desired change, gain awareness of healthy coping patterns, and assist with establishing a clear pathway to creating a healthy lifestyle and mindset.
