If you are experiencing loss due to health problems, loss of loved ones, loss of self-esteem, I welcome an opportunity to work with you via telehealth.
As a therapist I've had extensive experience utilizing a strength-based approach. I listen carefully and learn from you how your experiences have contributed to who you are now. I help you explore what your goals are, what your strengths are, and what is blocking you from reaching your potential. But how can we restore self-esteem following disappointments or messages of personal inadequacy? How can you learn to trust following being betrayed? and what does it mean to "heal" following the loss of a loved one?

I am a warm and empathetic therapist in clinical practice for over 25 years, I appreciate how difficult it is to talk to someone about very personal and challenging issues. I believe that a person can grow and empower oneself via talk therapy and building a therapeutic alliance. My specialties include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, issues of cancer survivors, grief counseling, change of life issues, divorce, marital and couples counseling. My practice draws upon cognitive behavioral, motivational theory, DBT(Dialectic Behavioral Theory), mindfulness and interpersonal dynamics. I work with individuals (age 18 and older), couples and families.

I had a differently abled child which gives me a unique insight into the world of disability and bereavement.
I have been in private practice for more than 20 years. I work in Northern New Jersey and provide short-term psychotherapy using psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, EMDR and IFS. I feel using an integrated model produces the best results. Every client is different so it's necessary to use multiple modalities --a one size fits all model does not work in therapy. I like working in partnership with clients. I am approachable, warm, nurturing and active in my sessions. I believe it's essential to be available to clients and return phone calls and emails on a timely basis

Some of my specialties include Dual Diagnosis, Grief and Loss, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, Stress Tolerance, Children and Families, and Crisis Management.
While everyone is facing challenging times based on many circumstances that life is presenting, its important to know that you are not alone. Often times, we have difficulty coping with life stressors. That can result in becoming withdrawn, experience difficulty in relationships, or face increased anxiety. I believe that our experiences from birth, adolescents years, and into our adult life have a tremendous impact on our worldview. My approach involves collaborating with my clients to explore the impact of past experiences in order to develop the healthy coping skills needed to face life's challenges.

I specialize in perinatal and infant mental health. Perinatal psychological issues occur in the times before, during, and/or after a pregnancy. Postpartum depression is the most often talked about condition, but symptoms are not always limited to AFTER a child is born.

I can offer a comfortable, safe place for you to begin to heal and move forward.
