Therapists in 07042

Over the past 42 years, I have devoted my practice to the treatment of people who want to feel happier with themselves, their relationships with their children, spouses, or family of origin. Many times people suffer from low self esteem, anxiety and depression. Parents come in with issues around their adolescent's behavior. Adults wish to improve how they communicate to their spouses, or would like to deal more effectively with problems at work and with bosses, or other authority figures. Many need help with everyday functioning, and some are struggling with confidence issues and initiative to set positive goals for the future.

Asking for help is not easy. Perhaps you have tried to resolve your concerns on your own but feel now is the time for something different. I believe it's important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable to be yourself. Growth can take place when trust and a sense of connection develop over time.

Many things can trigger a call to a therapist: Overwhelming anxiety, persistent feelings of depression, unfulfilling or problematic relationships at home or at work, or sudden changes in life circumstances (health, financial, or interpersonal). Talking to a therapist in a supportive environment can be very helpful. Therapy helps you figure out what you want to get out of life, identify what gets in your way, and work out new ways of approaching your goals. When you come in regularly to talk, exploring patterns and identifying factors that interfere with achieving goals, your life tends to improve.

Creating change in your life can be difficult, but tremendously rewarding. As a licensed psychotherapist with a holistic perspective, I work with adults and couples to address problems with troubling issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Concerns with sexuality, sexual identity, and relationships are areas where I am experienced. I have a particular interest in resolving inhibitions and insecurities that are barriers to creative expression and successful relationships. Artists, writers, performers, and others for whom creativity is an important aspect of their life, if not their career, are welcome.

Couples in crisis,or quietly losing their way, have come to me for help in strengthening their relationships in a neutral, supportive atmosphere. I also have extensive experience with individuals (adult and children) and families. In crisis, short term or long term therapy, I am quite familiar with issues of depression, anxiety, work, or family stress. Many clients contact me regarding concerns about isolation, sexual identity, mood swings,and interpersonal relationships . Men, who often seek out therapy less readily than women, are well represented in my practice. People in the arts also occupy a large part of my work.

The many challenges you have faced in your life have led you to begin the process of seeking knowledge & insight into ways of overcoming these obstacles. No matter if it is a mood, behavioral or relational issue you are faced with, you want results! A lot may be on the line at this point in your life such as your marriage, your job or the well-being of you and your family. Regardless, it is time to do something about it!

I am a clinician who works holistically with those who wish to find clarity in their lives. I am inspired to do this work because of my own life journey. I am able to listen and understand people. I am a dedicated and compassionate worker who cares deeply for the people I treat. I have worked with people who struggle with relationship and spiritual issues, family problems, job-related issues, women's' issues, and help those who wish to improve their communication skills. I am good at helping those to learn how to ask for and get what they want in life.
