Spirituality Therapists in Mahwah, NJ

Please note, I am only taking patients affected by the current war in Israel. I am doing this as a community service. As a PhD Clinical Psychologist for over 25 years, I have worked with a wide range of patients including executives, veterans, students and parents. While everyone is unique, my approach to treatment generally focuses on helping the patient understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors so that they ultimately can gain better control over all of them and find the personal meaning in their life.

Guiding others has always been a passion of mine from an early age. As I got older, the passion became stronger and pushed me into many different volunteer positions. My desire to help facilitate change crossed paths with my love for volleyball and led me to Costa Rica on mission trips. It was there, in Costa Rica, I knew I was being called to work with people on a more intimate level as my life’s work. Now, I am a Licensed Social Worker. I earned my Masters Degree at New York University. I have worked closely with children, adolescents and adults as dealing with everyday stressors and anxieties to mental health diagnoses.

As a clinical psychologist with over 30+ years of experience, I believe the purpose of therapy is to work together to face issues until they are resolved. It is important to feel some relief. As a good listener I have strong empathetic skills. I provide a warm, accepting and non-judgmental setting where a positive alliance can be formed. Therapy is a place to feel understood, to unload, share, but is also result oriented. Therefore, my approach is interactive. I work with children,adolescents, adults, families and couples.

I gravitate to working with people who think a lot, which often translated to intellectuals or perfectionists. I find meaning in supporting clients who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, overthinking, and especially children and adolescents.

Once I get to understand my client's goals and desires, I am able to work together with my client to help them be their best selves.

Being human can feel messy and complicated at times. Being in a space of transition can feel challenging. We may experience these struggles as sadness, confusion, feeling lost, or alone. Determining the path forward can feel overwhelming, yet by taking the first step, hope can be found. I believe it is essential to be able to identify where we feel stuck in order to be able to take meaningful action. By determining the different areas in your life where you would like to create change, you will be able to discover your empowerment.

You're a woman struggling with anxiety, overthinking and self doubt. Your brain is on overdrive. Like you’re hardwired to overthink and overanalyze. Each day brings more thinking; more worrying. Comparing yourself to others fuels feelings of not being “good enough.” You compensate by being the reliable one, the dependable one; overextending yourself to avoid judgment and conflict. You edit yourself, take blame and responsibility, and overly apologize. Life feels like a constant performance, sacrificing yourself for the sake of others. It’s hard to say exactly when it all started, but you’ve done it so long that you’ve lost yourself.

Have you recently experienced a difficult event or struggled for years with unexplained panic or anger without relief? My goal as a therapist is to serve clients who are looking for a guide and ally to lead them toward improved emotional health, better relationships, and life satisfaction. If you are ready to make a change or at least willing to explore the possibilities that therapy can offer then relief is possible.
