You may be ready to take a courageous first step and choose a therapist for your needs. I treat your concerns in a non-judgmental environment of respect and confidentiality. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This type of approach helps to better understand how your thoughts contribute to behaviors that may lead to emotional distress. CBT is effective to help anxiety, fears, obsessions/compulsions, relationship issues, self-esteem and depression.

I believe making the decision to enter psychotherapy is one of the best choices a person can make. It marks the beginning of a major life-enhancing process. Therapy offers the opportunity to truly know oneself on a level that uncovers underlying feelings, anxieties, and defenses which manifest themselves in interpersonal difficulties and other life issues. Therefore, the selection of a therapist you feel comfortable with and can trust is crucial to a positive and successful experience. Psychotherapy is an amazing journey leading to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and healthy interpersonal relationships.

Life has its bright moments, but it can also have its dark side. When you find yourself spending more time in the dark times than the bright times, it's time to come and see a therapist. I can help you come back into the brightness of life and teach you how to spend most of your time there.

I believe that effective Psychotherapy is the result of many factors. Two of the most important factors, in my experience, are: Technical Competence of the Psychologist and the Therapeutic Match of Client and Psychologist. The Psychologist's Technical Competence develops from the Psychologist's education, ongoing training, and clinical experience. A good Therapeutic Match enables the client to feel confident in and comfortable with the Psychologist. In my experience Clients are able to assess Therapeutic Match within one to two sessions; on the other hand, it may take longer for Clients to assess the technical competence of their Psychologist.

I have been in private practice and worked for both hospitals, nonprofit children's agencies and was a director of two MSW social work intern training programs at Columbia School of Social Work and Rutgers School of Social Work. Through these experiences, I enjoy helping people to maximize their potential. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, couples, parenting and adult children of sexual abuse and substance abuse.

Developing non-judgemental, collaborative, safe and trusting relationships with my clients has always been the core focus of my practice. I believe it is through the strength of these relationships, whatever the presenting problems, that issues can be resolved and new and better coping skills can be created.

As a licensed psychologist and clinical neuropsychologist, I offer specialized skill and training in evaluating both cognitive and psychological functioning. Forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, and difficulty learning new information are just a few of the cognitive difficulties my clients may experience. As a clinical neuropsychologist, I am able to discern psychological symptoms of depression or anxiety from a neurological disorder such as dementia, stroke, or traumatic brain injury. Further, I can provide psychological evaluations for individuals seeking bariatric weight-loss surgery.

When I think of my work as a therapist, what lifts my spirit is the enormous potential of people for living a full life; a potential they are often unaware of. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Therapy helps to identify them and develop the tools to improve their lives. The goals: enhanced self-esteem, reduced tension, more expressiveness....a fuller life. Whether I work with the child, adolescent, adult, individual, couple or family, I find the work inspiring.
