Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists in Bernardsville, NJ

While their situations were unique, the people that I’ve worked with over the years often sought support when they felt lost, disconnected, or uninspired. For some, these feelings were lifelong. For others, they arose following a major loss or change. Therapy enables you to process and overcome these challenges, allowing you to rediscover your true self. I especially enjoy working with high-achieving individuals who hold high-stress and demanding positions and who experience challenges with perfectionism, competitiveness, and feelings of jealousy and envy.

Are you looking for help for yourself OR are you seeking couples counseling? I have several specialties & advanced training to help individuals & couples get out of their frustrating negative cycles. Individuals I work with often seek treatment for symptoms that, despite their best efforts, do not go away such as feeling emotionally numb or angry & have intrusive thoughts/memories from a traumatic event or have been diagnosed with PTSD. The couples I work with often report feeling stuck, feeling alone and sick of having the same arguments yet nothing changes. I also treat survivors of narcissistic parents and narcissistic partners.

I am an experienced psychotherapist who has been practicing in the field for over twenty years, fifteen years in private practice. I see clients in New Jersey and New York state. I have advanced, post-graduate training in gestalt therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am genuine, funny, intelligent, sensitive, warm, and I can also be firm/direct depending on the need of the client. Sometimes we need different things in the work.. it takes an experienced, intuitive therapist to help us to really get to the heart of what we need to grow. I have helped many clients through quite challenging things in their lives.

We all experience anxiety from time to time. However, for some, anxiety seriously interferes with their lives - relationships, careers and ability to feel joy.

Welcome! You've taken the first step in your therapeutic journey as seeking a therapist can be a difficult decision. The unique relationship between client and therapist creates a safe, confidential environment where personal growth and healing of the client can occur.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or the loss of a loved one with a sense of feeling lost, hopeless, and without purpose? Are you struggling with life transitions & open to delving deeper to explore those issues? I primarily work with men like this, who have arrived at this point in life feeling "stuck" or "at a dead end," struggling with relationship issues and feeling disconnected & frustrated. My job is to help you re-negotiate your relationship with your feelings, see you as okay, and understand the meaning of your upbringing or narratives you've learned on "how you ought to be."

As a Therapist and Life Coach, I understand how difficult and intimidating it can be to reach out for help. However, I can assure you that my compassionate and emphatic approach will help you find the strength to move through this process whether it is healing or focusing on creating your future.

Rather than the traditional approaches of heavy confrontation and coercion, I provide the opportunity to change through the use of Evidenced-Based Practices that are delivered in an atmosphere of encouragement, optimism, and compassion.

My ideal client is someone who feels like their life just isn’t working - maybe they’re struggling with unresolved anxiety and depression or leaning on alcohol or marijuana a little too much to cope with everyday stressors. Maybe they’re going through a big life transition or just aren’t satisfied with their relationships. Whatever their current issues are, this person wants to feel better but doesn’t know how to get there. They are open to therapy and ready to see where it could lead them.
