Therapists in Iselin, NJ

I pursue a therapeutic framework that supports setting goals and strategies for productive therapeutic work. I enjoy counseling individuals, couples, and families. I am committed to compassionately working with clients who may experience depression, anxiety, mood disorders, marital and relational issues, and difficult family dynamics. I also help clients who need assistance in life coaching, communication, and conflict resolution. I create a safe haven that encompasses transparency, non-judgment, and acceptance, while empowering you to achieve goals with desirable results.

You may feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or exhausted right now. You may have challenges in your personal or professional relationships. You may be struggling to find a sense of purpose. Imagine what it would be like to have someone really listen to your story.

The path to parenthood is often bumpy. Whether you’re planning for a baby, coping with a loss, adjusting to parenthood, or have been trying for a while - you are not alone.  We provide evidence-based psychotherapy for all those involved in the parenthood journey - men, women, and couples. Our competent and nurturing therapists will team up with you to create an effective, cohesive plan to address your needs and reduce your stress.  We help treat all kinds of family-building challenges, from mild parenting stress and worry, severe perinatal depression and anxiety, traumatic birth experiences, to grieving the loss of a child.

I specialize in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of panic disorder, OCD, anxiety, challenging life transitions and depression. Using the integration of cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and relational therapy strategies, I believe successful therapy is achieved in the context of an accepting and supportive relationship. It is in the spirit of this collaborative approach that I coach patients through an effective process of change, addressing problems and symptoms so that patients can achieve change, meaning and value in their lives.

Are you ready to change? Whether change involves improving your mood, developing more intimate connections, or healing from complex trauma, you deserve a space that prioritizes you and focuses on creating a life well lived. In working with a diverse clientele, I often hear clients say that they are overwhelmed, disconnected, depleted, and this hour is their only time to relax, reflect, and re-energize. Therefore, treatment is tailored to the unique needs of the client with a flexible, nonjudgmental, and compassionate approach.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and a process that provides the opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Therapy can help you feel connected, grounded and deeply understood; it facilitates the opportunity to work through current and older challenges, which are impacting you (and possibly your loved ones) in the present. My style is holistic, eclectic and relational. I provide a safe environment, listen deeply and engage genuinely with the individuals, couples and families I meet. I believe that we each possess the innate ability to transform our lives so we can flourish, create, connect, accept and thrive.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Often, it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what is wrong or how to improve it. You may have feelings of isolation, sadness, or anxiety that come up when you least expect it. You feel like you need a break, but demands call for you to work harder, do better, and be stronger. Friends and family may offer advice, but deep down you think they just don’t understand.

There are times in our lives when we may feel as though we are just going through the motions. Past experiences, perhaps dating back to childhood, could show up in a variety of ways in your adult life. Sometimes you may realize that there could be a connection between your past affecting the present but you are not quite sure how. You may be experiencing a variety of overwhelming emotions, some of which could be contributing to anxiety, depression or showing up in your interpersonal relationships. This may have created the potential opportunity for you to begin your healing process. It is my intention to assist you in this journey.

We all tell stories to and about ourselves. The stories we tell can empower us, and sometimes we find that our stories do not serve us. At its core, therapy is a safe space for you to tell your story. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I value the story each person has to tell. My compassionate and non-judgmental approach allows me to collaborate with you, to understand your experiences and where you may be feeling overwhelmed or stuck. I will support you in the process of gaining insight, in order to facilitate meaningful change. I strive to build a strong bond with my clients, to help you feel more at ease within yourself.
