Relational Therapists in Hoboken, NJ

I am dedicated to helping individuals feel empowered and develop healthy growth-fostering connections through mutual empathy, authenticity, and genuineness. Within the therapeutic space, I strive to create an environment that is built on trust and safety. I strongly believe that the relationship between client and counselor is an agent of change and one of the most important alliances that can be created in a therapeutic relationship.

Hi and welcome! I aim to create a warm and supportive environment and meet clients where they are at. My goal is to empower my clients to be in charge of their own treatment. If you choose to work with me, I will aim to teach you life long skills. I will also support and motivate you as you work towards your goals! (I am licensed in both New York and New Jersey!)

Want to make changes but not sure where to start? I know it seems daunting to find a therapist, but you’ve already taken the first step. That’s the good news. The bad news? There are a lot of therapists out there and one of the most important factors linked to therapeutic success is the relationship you have with your therapist. (But no pressure, right?)

Do you want to feel stronger, sexier, healthier, more confident, & more empowered? Are you ready to have a deeper, more meaningful relationship with yourself & others? If yes, let's talk. I'm a general wellness & sex therapist, offering individual therapy, behavioral health consultancy, & values coaching for adults, with years of experience in medical social work & talk therapy. My practice is best for high achieving professionals, therapists, healthcare workers, adults, & sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ+). My style is direct, relational, modern, friendly, interactive, conversational, educational, evidenced-based, & supportive.

I am a NY and NJ licensed psychologist with 15+ years of clinical experience in treating adults of all ages and adolescents (14 years old and up) struggling with various emotional difficulties. I am particularly interested and experienced in working with: ANXIETY (generalized anxiety, separation anxiety), DEPRESSION, PERINATAL MOOD DISORDERS (Post-Partum Depression, Loss and Grief, Infertility), INTERPERSONAL DIFFICULTIES (peers, co-workers, family), STRESS MANAGEMENT, SELF-ESTEEM & MOOD REGULATION ISSUES, and TRAUMA (early childhood relational, sexual abuse, social trauma).

Throughout my many years serving a young adult/adult population, I have gained a great respect for working collaboratively with each client to understand the most effective approach for the individual. My approach involves providing a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment in which we can gain a greater awareness of the individual's unique concerns and work from this awareness to affect change in the present.

Safety and connection are the cornerstones of well-being. With them, we can flourish, living the lives we hope to live, facing challenges with strength and dignity, and experiencing moments of calm, peace, and joy. As a therapist, my work is grounded in establishing a safe, collaborative relationship, focused on your goals, building on your strengths, and increasing your ability to maintain a sense of wellness. In partnership, I support my clients in finding their path to feeling safe, grounded, connected, and able to face life's challenges with confidence and skill.

Are you struggling with past trauma that's currently impacting you, anxiety, burn out, people pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, a harsh inner critic, or your relationship w/ alcohol? Or are you a parent of a teen who is struggling with stress and anxiety, low-self esteem, depression, or self-harm? I am passionate about working with teens, adults and their families with the above needs. If you would like to become a more confident and authentic version of yourself, I'd be honored to support you. I fully understand how important the right therapist fit is to feel safe enough to open up.

Therapy, I believe, is a collaborative process through which I work with clients to progress toward well-being and an authentic engagement with life. As we address therapy goals that may involve reducing distress caused by symptoms, dealing with acute or longer term issues, or old patterns that are holding you back from growth, I listen for your voice, and seek to empower you to take ownership of your life and its direction. I strive to create a safe, accepting environment, where we work toward ameliorating distress, enhanced self-understanding, healthier choices, and living a more mindful, valued life.

Do you have trust issues in your relationship? Are you afraid to be honest with your partner or tired of trying to be someone you're not? Neither you or your partner are really talking about your hurt or resentments over pornography and infidelity. You've tried over and over again and the current situation isn't working for you and/or your relationship. Contact me and we will talk about how you feel about your challenges and together come up with a behavioral and emotional strategy for you to move forward! By the end of our FIRST session, you will be given therapeutic goals that you and I will work on.

I believe deeply in the power of relationships and in the human capacity for healing. The therapeutic relationship is a powerful force that can lead to lasting and intentional ways of understanding yourself and helping you get back on your path to leading a fulfilling life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment injuries, or simply want to understand your inner experience better, you are welcome just as you are.

If you are tired of talking without a response and have goals in mind then relational psychotherapy will work for you.This type of therapy works well If you feel isolated, depressed, unable to reach goals, date, find or keep relationships. I am a Gestalt Therapist with additional training in DBT (for problems with emotion regulation), LGBTQ concerns and Integral Coaching. These are powerful tools for change. If you want to dig out of the past, feel alive in the present and be able to plan for the future. Call me.

Are you looking to make a shift? I am licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I believe therapy can be seen as a process of unpacking. Things often go unsaid, which can manifest into various effects on the body, such as anxiety. Although staying with your emotions can be difficult, it can often be the pathway to healing. My clinical experience has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of our environment and relationships, as well as the positive shifts that can take place when offered supportive and validating resources.

My goal is to support and empower you on your journey towards increased connection with your body, your mind, and with others. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns as well as specializing in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use disorders. I strongly believe in meeting clients where they are with a non-judgmental and affirming approach. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and believe that the therapeutic process should be collaborative.

Whether you're starting college, changing careers, or becoming a parent, transition is hard. And major life transitions often kick up difficult emotions and memories that maybe we thought we'd already worked through. I work with clients navigating major life transitions and all that comes with them. This can include bodily changes, shifting relationships, grieving how things used to be, questioning identity, and navigating all of this without losing yourself in the process. Changes is hard, and these questions are difficult; they're also ones we can explore and work through together.

Welcome to my practice. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and help adults struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, stress and life transitions, as well as those who are simply interested in self-exploration. No matter what brings you to pursue support at this time, I prioritize establishing a trusting, safe and respectful space in session and strive to help you get out of therapy whatever it is you are seeking from the experience.
