I am a NY and NJ Licensed Therapist. Talk therapy is not just "talking about your problems"; it is also working toward solutions. Focusing on the past can help explain things in your life, but focusing on the present can help you cope with the present and prepare for the future. I can help you take control of your life, stop the turmoil, find meaning and happiness, so you can make healthier choices about your present and future, and not allow others to make those choices for you.

Depression, anxiety and problems in relationships often cause deep anguish and pain - just getting by each day is tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better. Friends and family urge us to just get over it, but sometimes that makes it feel worse. You need someone to talk to. In the safety and privacy of our offices, you will have your therapist's unwavering attention, devoted to helping you untangle the mess that exists in your life. Together, we will help you change what you thought was unchangeable but also accept what you thought was unacceptable.

Are you facing a challenging situation in your life? Perhaps you are trying to recover from a difficult break-up. Or you may be trying to resolve conflicts in a relationship with a partner, family member, co-worker or boss. Your struggle may be an internal one, such as dealing with behavior that feels out of control, confusion over sexual orientation, gender identity or other issues affecting self-esteem. Utilizing a combination of mindfulness, cognitive therapy, insight oriented and trauma based approaches, my goal is to foster a compassionate view of yourself as you deal with life's challenges.

Healing and change come from awareness, understanding and self-compassion. Therapy will help deepen your understanding of what makes you who you are. This process is empowering and will be the driving force in making positive changes in your life. I have a rich clinical history working with children, adults and couples facing an array of challenges. With extensive experience treating trauma survivors I have been trained in EMDR and incorporate a mindfulness approach into my practice.

Has a recent life event or transition caused you to feel suddenly unstable? Changes of any kind can leave us feeling lonely, confused, afraid, and vulnerable, especially when one's foundation is shaky. I take great care and interest in helping others achieve stability and growth during periods of change and uncertainty. I regard challenges as critical opportunities for exploration and meaning-making. Through gaining deeper understandings and new perspectives in treatment, my patients have reported feeling lighter, stronger, more focused, more connected to others, and more prepared to embrace life's challenges.

I believe that within each individual, family, or relationship there is a natural and effective process for healing. Although in times of crisis helping a person or family find safety and stabilization becomes a priority, once this is established I have found an inside-out approach can be a powerful, creative, and effective process toward finding your unique self and path.
