Eating Disorders Therapists in Maplewood, NJ

My work is dedicated to helping you embrace who you are in order to live a fulfilling and balanced life. I focus on developing your ability to understand the powerful connection between your mind and body. This insight facilitates a path toward healing from current and past challenges. During the course of our work, I will help you develop your "Emotional Intelligence" (understanding of what motivates feelings and actions) and acquire the tools needed to overcome barriers blocking growth and change. Once you gain these coping skills, you will find yourself open to loving relationships, living in the present and creating a more fulfilling life.

I am a psychotherapist trained in a variety of approaches designed to help you reach your personal/relationship goals and self-understanding: includes hypnotherapy, EMDR, coaching, sex therapy, employee assistance, cognitive-behavioral and family systems. We can decide which approaches will be most effective for you on your healing journey. In a warm, comfortable environment, you can explore new insights and learn new skills to achieve emotional well-being and harmonious relationships. I pride myself on listening with compassion, without judgment.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, work or relationship issues, I am here to help. I have over 20 years of experience helping people work through depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and negative thought patterns. I am an empathic listener and will work with you to identify and resolve underlying emotional patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that contribute to your current struggles.

Finding a therapist you will be able to trust with your feelings, thoughts, and goals can be a difficult process. Whatever journey brought you here, we will build that trust so that our work together leads to an improvement in your overall health and wellness. My work centers around our relationship and begins with us forging a safe, comfortable, and non-judgemental space for you to share openly.
