Eating Disorders Therapists in Livingston, NJ
Making that first call to begin psychotherapy can be a challenging part of the process. And yet there are times you may find yourself in need of support to sort through some of life's problems. It is possible to find relief by making sense of emotional struggles and allowing change to happen. I use an approach which helps develop an awareness of why we act the way we do, and allows us to imagine strategies to alleviate the causes of our discomfort and emotional pain.

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.

A lot of focus on people with anxiety and depression disorder. Mood swings or other emotional midsections that are causing some level of conflict in their family, social, educational or financial life. A majority of the people I work vary in what they know about themselves from just knowing somethings and wanting to fix it to others being forced by a friend, family member or just some stranger that passed along my name to someone. Range of symptoms from minor to discharges from high levels of care.

During our work together, we’ll use a relational lens to make sense of your challenges (and strengths). I believe that relationships can say a lot about a person, so understanding how you connect to other people will be the framework of our time in therapy. We’ll explore your relationships with all of the important people in your life, including your family, friends, intimate partners, and coworkers. All of these connections can reflect important truths about how you view yourself and the world. Beyond your bonds with other people, we’ll also explore your relationship with yourself.

Often the people who come to see me are seeking something something different. Many have tried more traditional forms of therapy, and haven't felt the kind of relief or transformation that they had hoped. Many have a spiritual side and seek to learn more about who they really are, and work toward their highest and most authentic sense of self and full potential. This work involves a search for meaning and integration that often isn't found in modalities that do not integrate mind, body and spirit. As Carl Jung said, "Who looks outside dreams. Who looks inside awakens."

I have been working as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for almost 30 years. I began my career doing play therapy with young children. While I loved that, I discovered that there is so much more to be explored in therapy when working with a variety of age groups. Over the years I have worked with many different ages and populations and I feel as though I’ve learned from my clients as much as they have learned from me. I believe that the connection that you have with your therapist is the first step to meeting any goal. While I often take a direct approach with my clients, I also tell them, “my goals can’t be your goals."

Ideally, I work with all individuals. My ideal client would be one who has depression and anxiety, needs stress management techniques, and is open to meditative exercises.

My ideal client is simply a client who is ready to make a change. No matter the presenting problem, all I need from my client is an open mind and a readiness for change.

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

My ideal client has a desire to heal and change their life. They must approach the counseling journey with openness and curiosity. It does not matter what issues or needs they bring to me because together, we can make magic happen and their goals and desires come to fruition. The most important thing is again that willingness and desire to change.

Sometimes clients feel ambivalent about entering therapy. The concept of therapy may be associated with anxiety, vulnerability, and uncertainty. As a therapist, I aim to provide a supportive and comfortable environment toward client engagement to account for these fears and create a space where clients can feel motivated to invest in themselves. Utilizing a client-centered approach, I prioritize actively listening in session and engaging in collaboration to establish an individualized plan for overcoming personal challenges.
