As John Lennon wrote "Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans". Our lives have been changed significantly since March 2020. We may be still social distancing and feeling somewhat disconnected from family and friends. Many people continue to experience anxiety, depression and relationship issues as a result. Most of my clients had initial reservations about trying telehealth but, much like everything else lately, we’re resilient and go with the flow. The benefits of telehealth are that you don’t have to travel, scheduling is much easier and you can be seen wherever you have internet (must be in NJ during session).

I work with couples on relationship and communication issues; as well as adult individuals looking to explore issues related to self-esteem, coping skills, and overcoming obstacles; to work towards positive well-being.
Co-founder and partner of Comprehensive Counseling Center, Howell NJ. I've been in practice for 32+ years. My primary focus is couples, marital and adult individual counseling. My role, when a couple or individual seeks out counseling, is to both be able to listen, in a caring non-judgemental way, and be direct when necessary. I work with the client to tailor the treatment to their unique needs; to help with guidance, support and information, so that things can move forward and their goals can be reached. It's a process that works best when we work together, and is done in an atmosphere of respect, confidentiality and safety.

C.G. Jung stated, "In many cases in therapy the patient who has come to us has a story that is not told, and which as a rule no one knows of. To my mind, therapy only really begins after the investigation of that wholly personal story. It is the patient's secret, the rock against which s/he is shattered." My practice involves creating a client/therapist relationship and environment where this wholly personal story can be explored and brought to consciousness. I work to create a safe, accepting, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space that will bring wholeness and meaning to the suffering that every human experiences.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
