Are you experiencing excessive worry, anxiety and/or depression? Are you dealing with other issues such as chemical abuse, behavioral challenges that adversely impact your life? Welcome and greetings to you for taking an important step in addressing your emotional wellness needs. Seeking professional help is an important step on your road to wellness. With more than 30 years of clinical experience in the field of Behavioral Health, Addictions and Intellectual-Developmental Disabilities, I have a proven record of success providing individuals, couples and family counseling to adolescents and adults in a warm, welcoming and engaging environment.

There is hope and treatment for people struggling and their family members. Together, we will create a plan to address your situation, helping you or a loved one understand the disease of addiction or mental health disorder, develop coping skills, deal with anxiety, anger, and other emotions, build a support network, improve sleep, and assess the need for medications, if warranted. My goal is to help you find a path to a rewarding, fullfilling life.

I am a licensed psychologist who enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I assess for and treat a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, behavior problems, ADHD, and learning disabilities.

I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.

Therapy is about change and change is more manageable now, than ever before. Healthier outcomes throughout life's stages require a supportive environment that is found when connecting to a provider at Therapy Resources of Morris County, LLC. All providers at TRMC have chosen the counseling profession to develop safe, compassionate, non-judgmental relationships that support successful outcomes through the change process. It's about time...let us take the first step with you.

I am dually licensed as an LPC and LCADC. The path I took to become a therapist was a long and winding one which provided me with a rich diversity of experience to draw from in my work. I understand that change is difficult. I received a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Montana in Missoula, where I also began my study of Zen, and eventually spent over 20 years as an Information Technology professional. I have been married for over 30 years and, together with my wife, have raised two sons who are now young adults.

As a newly licensed associate counselor and lay Christian counselor, I have honed my expertise in women's issues, trauma-informed care, emotional disturbance, and family conflict. I am passionate about educating and instilling a deep understanding of mental health disorders, trauma, and the importance of nurturing a healthy relationship with oneself.

My specialty in practice is counseling individuals who are dealing with life transition issues. Life-changing events can be tough... dealing with a challenging relationship or with serious illness in yourself or a loved one, loss of a loved one or a job, divorce, kids leaving for college, starting out on a new career, getting used to new management. Events like these can drain your self-confidence, test your patience, and cause you to question who you really are or want to be.

With over 23 years of experience in understanding and nurturing human connections, I specialize in guiding children, adolescents, & adults through the intricate web of their relationships. My practice emphasizes a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment that is crucial for exploring the complexities of life's interactions & the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors they evoke. Therapy, while daunting for some, becomes a collaborative journey under my guidance. Together, we will set goals & embark on a path of exploration to foster personal growth and discover your intrinsic value, steering you towards the life you aspire to lead.

It's not easy to begin speaking to a complete stranger about your personal concerns and struggles. I believe that therapy is first about creating a genuine and trusting relationship and then working toward goals that will help resolve the issues that may bring someone to counseling. I am solution-focused, strengths-based, and person-centered, tailoring my approach to individual clients' preferences and needs.

Families are important to me, and learning to communicate in a world where technology and careers can disconnect the family—building bonds and relationships, learning to encourage and recognize the positive in others, and rebuilding relationships. To find the importance, look at past trauma individually, explore the impact trauma has on current situations, and heal the trauma to inspire the future and achieve success.

People contact me for many reasons. Often, though not always, the impetus seems to fall into one of two categories. Either something has happened to a person that has significantly changed their world, or nothing has happened and they are feeling stuck. Either scenario can leave someone feeling lost, confused, disconnected, and alone. Frequently I'm contacted after the loss of a loved one, including loss from suicide, or when someone is experiencing difficulty with life transitions (e.g., adjustment to college, career, change in family or caretaking role, or retirement). Other times, it's not that specific. It just helps to talk.

Life is hard and trauma of all kinds can wear down the strongest of us! But it is the strong who actually ask for help to deal with the challenges that life today throws at us. As a Cognitive-Behavioral therapist who practices from the Strengths Perspective, I work with my clients to identify those thoughts, behaviors and situations that might be holding them back, and implement a plan that will meet their goals. My goal is not to keep anyone in therapy for the rest of their lives, but rather to utilize therapy to overcome their challenges and achieve the inner peace they deserve.

When you lose a loved one, it feels like you've lost everything. The world as you once knew it has completely changed, and while everyone else is going about their daily lives, you don't see the point of anything anymore. Even in a room filled with people, you've never felt more alone than you do now. People don't know what to say so they're left with, "I'm sorry for your loss," which is meaningless to you. No one understands the depth of your grief, and you wonder if you'll feel this way forever.

Working as a clinical therapist, business executive, startup founder, and coach over the past 12 years, I combine effective somatic coaching and therapeutic skills, wisdom, and perspective gained from my own healing journey. I work primarily with people who want to live healthier and authentic lives. I teach the skills necessary to better manage stress and to be more present, ultimately leading to success in your personal and professional lives. My approach is a combination of somatic awareness, internal family systems, cognitive behavioral, and the 12-step recovery model.

My ideal client is a young adult under the age of 35 who may have difficulty with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, adjusting to new circumstances, stress, family strain, relationship issues, and cultural stress.

Sometimes we can feel like we're stuck, lost and have to try to figure it out alone. I'm here to support you in redefining who you are and what you want. Create the life you truly deserve by working through the tough stuff and embracing your unique abilities. I believe that connection is what helps us to heal and grow. My practice is based on building an authentic connection with you in order to help you become empowered to reach your goals. I offer a safe space for traditionally marginalized groups including BIPOC and First and Second Generation Immigrants, to feel seen and heard.

Work. Family. Friends. Why can't life be simpler? With multiple deadlines, a growing to-do list, and a family and social life that demands attention. You know that you can be successful, but you're beginning to think that you are dropping too many balls. The constant pressure to perform is turning into unrelenting anxiety and your performance is suffering. Therapy sounds like it might be a good idea, but no way can you dedicate seasons or years to making things better. Your work cannot wait, your spouse/lover cannot wait, you cannot wait. Efficiency is critical. Confidentiality is critical. But you're ready to do what it takes.

Do your thoughts and feelings seem like they get the best of you or take you away from what you want to be doing in life? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals and couples to learn and practice strategies to address these difficult thoughts and feelings and do the things that matter to them. I help clients develop healthy responses to thoughts and feelings through using tools to address discomfort and pain while also clarifying what matters and finding ways to do things that lead towards a meaningful life.
