Eating Disorders Therapists in Florham Park, NJ

I work with individuals, couples, and families with an emphasis on emotions. I believe emotions are powerful forces in our lives which can impact our happiness and satisfaction. Many people go through traumatic events or difficult experiences which block their ability to make sense of their feelings. I will work with you to understand your feelings and find greater satisfaction. My approach is based on what works for you, so I will help you discover this. When working with couples, I also help partners to uncover underlying emotions and unexpressed needs.

I am a psychotherapist with over 45 years experience treating adults, older children, adolescents and couples. Sometimes people need help with specific problems such as marital discord, parenting, extended family conflicts or navigating life transitions. Persistent concerns such as lowered self-esteem, a pattern of unsuccessful romantic or work relationships, addictions, anxiety, depression and obsessive/compulsive behaviors often benefit from a professional hand. The goal in therapy is to make you aware of the patterns and beliefs that impair your ability to relate successfully with others and improve your self-esteem.

Are you struggling to cope with the stressors of today? Are you experiencing emotional pain? Does worry, anxiety and depression leave you feeling alone and isolated? Do you find that you are repeating the same dysfunctional patterns in life? You can be free of emotional pain and successful in coping with trauma, anxiety and depression. You can find more meaning and purpose to your life and enhance your family, friendships and career. I believe each individual deserves a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or pained, now is a good time to talk with a qualified professional. With over 22 years experience as a psychotherapist, let me help you figure out what keeps you in a relationship, job, life circumstance or mood state that you can not seem to change or understand. With deep compassion, wise insight, and humor, we will figure out a better way of living. I specialize in listening in a focused, non-judgmental and skilled manner. We will look at patterns, internal conflicts, and belief systems that cause you deep suffering.

Whether you are in a place of uncertainty and desperation or hoping to reach your utmost potential, I congratulate you for making this step in taking control of your life and facing your challenges. Every individual, whether you are a parent, student, professional, athlete or performer, endures pain or confusion at some point in life. As a professional support to you, I feel privileged to assist you, without judgement, in reclaiming a life of peace and control that you so rightly deserve.

I do no-baloney psychotherapy; that is to say, if you want to study yourself and grow, we will get along. If you need to blame others, you will be happier elsewhere. Many clients who have had "therapy" before react to my work with expressions such as, "This is how it should have been years ago," or, "Oh wow, this is what I always wanted." I also enjoy working with couples and frequently work with both parties separately and the couple together.
