Christian Therapists in Glen Rock, NJ

I have helped many clients in the years since I began my psychotherapy practice. I have worked with a variety of psychological problems, however, my emphasis has always centered on treating the person and meeting their needs. I believe therapy is most effective when the emotional, spiritual and physical well being of the person is considered. The unique feature of counseling and psychotherapy is not only the ways that I can help clients but also the many ways clients have taught me lessons of life and their resilience in the face of crisis.

I find particular joy in helping couples, families, and individuals change by challenging their assumptions and finding new ways to view past interactions and find true healing.

Individual Psychotherapy is a process of getting to know yourself and your inner world, so you can live more fully in the outer world of work, play, and relationships. I do what I can to create a safe environment in which you can be emotionally honest with me and yourself, which allows you to access previously scary or unavailable parts of yourself, so that you can embrace your past; live more fully in the present; and be creatively alive in your future.
