Male Therapists in Florham Park, NJ

As individuals we may feel angry, sad, anxious or overly stressed in our daily lives. As couples, we may have problems in our relationship that lead to conflict with our spouse or partner. As parents, we may face various challenges (educational, emotional and behavioral) with our children, and need guidance in how to help them, and ourselves. These life circumstances can erode our sense of well-being and strain our relationships in all spheres of life. They stop us from functioning to the best of our capabilities. I work to improve your functioning, decrease conflict and to make life enjoyable.

In my 19 years as a therapist, I have worked with a range of clients, such as co-dependency, anger, OCD, phobias, panic disorders, and PTSD & trauma with individuals, couples, and families, and I have learned every client is vastly different. One thing that is the same is that the goal for the client is always moving towards living kind of the life they want to live. What that looks like is different for everyone because we all have our own set of values. But the stronger our values, the harder it can be to accept ourselves and others in the world. I help clients find that balance for themselves!

I have spent 10 years working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, and struggles with maintaining sobriety and recovery. For some, symptoms are a nuisance that they need help managing. For others, symptoms have compromised their lives so much that they are on disability and/or repeatedly unable to attain the life goals they have set for themselves. In each case, I work with the person to find thought processes and behaviors that can improve their quality of life.

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.

My approach to therapy is collaborative in nature. Rather than me being the expert and you the client, the approach provided assumes dual expertise between us. That is, I work with you to build a relationship, provide a comfortable atmosphere and then we (as a team) decide what the treatment plan will be. Only you can decide what's important and, what you are willing and ready to do. My job is to work with you from a holistic approach and accentuate your strengths, affirm your innate abilities and evoke and assist change if indicated.

In a first meeting with a client, one of the most important parts of the session is to understand not only what brings a person into the office, “the problem” so to speak, but also to build out a framework of what the client believes will be the solution. What will it look like when things are better? Rather than pathologizing, I prefer to focus within the wellness model of counseling, identifying strengths and resources available to contribute toward a person’s personal counseling goals.

I am a clinical psychologist with 25 years experience working with individuals, couples and families. I received my degree from Rutgers University and am certified in several approaches to therapy. While cognitive and behavioral therapies act as my foundation, I teach many interpersonal and self-help strategies (eg, conflict resolution, assertiveness & communication training, meditation, self-hypnosis, emotion & trauma resolution). I work successfully with individuals and couples who struggle with problems at home, school or work, and in relationships.

Have you said to yourself “maybe I need help with this situation” in the past few months? Did you talk yourself out of making the call because the situation temporarily improved? This is a common statement that I hear from my patients and they often wish they had reached out for support earlier. We will work together to understand, identify, and manage your or your child’s needs, while providing useful and applicable skills for improved daily functioning. Happiness is often achieved with a mixture of different approaches that include

Emotions are powerful and can feel paralyzing at times. The path forward is sometimes difficult to navigate and it's not uncommon to need support along the way.
