Therapists in Millburn, NJ

People are often ambivalent when seeking help from a professional - it's not an easy thing to do to speak with a stranger about what troubles you. In my 30 years of experience I have found people have often suffered for long periods of time, and the first thing I can offer is realistic hope - hope that things can get better, and that life can feel worthwhile again. I offer help and hope for the practical problems of life as well as the more intangible, yet equally vital issues related to a sense of peace and contentment with one's life.

If you are struggling with feelings of depression, relationship issues, marital stress, job loss, anxiety, or other life challenges, feel free to contact me. I am a warm, respectful, experienced clinician who brings 30+ years of practice in consulting confidentially with a wide variety of people. You will find me to be open and caring and my office a safe and inviting place to talk. I am most effective with people who are thoughtful and willing to look inside themselves.

My style is highly interactive, focused on communication, and achieving client goals. It is important to me that my clients are comfortable with me and know that I am available to them. Making life changes is not always easy, but I believe in human resiliency and strength. As an example of this philosophy, I have changed my name back to my maiden name. My mother passed away from Alzheimer's disease, and for this reason, to honor her, I wanted to take my name back... human resiliency!!!

Relationships are complicated and often very stressful and upsetting. I work with people who are grappling to communicate better with the most important people in their lives. Wanting to be heard, understood, supported and loved is human nature. This can sometimes be a challenge without outside, neutral help. Misunderstandings often can get in the way of intimate relationships, leaving each person feeling alone, disillusioned and their actions misconstrued. I see my job as someone who can help navigate these confusing dynamics and openly talk about the possible underlying feelings that led to these behaviors in the first place.

I am a psychotherapist with forty-five years of experience, specializing in the treatment of individuals and families as they navigate life transitions.

We will work collaboratively in an interactive, supportive style.

People are generally healthy as they move naturally through time, changing to accommodate new roles and challenges. Individuals, couples, and families seek therapy when their ways of being and relating are no longer working or aren't adequately meeting their needs. My role, as therapist, is to help create a context in which clients can explore different perceptions and ways of relating that are more satisfying.

In order to do this, I utilize talk and the creative arts therapies. You may discover the mode of therapy that best suits you.

Does it seem like your marriage is too difficult to repair? Are you worried that you won't feel happy together again? In counseling, you can learn to recover intimacy, joy, caring, and excitement in your relationship. Through simple, easy-to-implement tools and strategies, you can break free of old resentments and bad patterns, learn to trust each other again, break old habits, and be happier together. In therapy we will work on a dual level, helping you, as a couple, to work out your differences and become closer and, as individuals, to find your place.

Welcome to my practice. I have found that developing inner resources such as curiosity, empathy and courage allows people to love more generously and to tolerate the rigors of intimacy more joyfully. These qualities naturally provide patients with new ways of dealing with life's problems, thereby reducing symptoms of distress. I believe that the process of therapy can cultivate a rich appreciation for how the past may be recreated in the present; I encourage the identification of patterns of relationships that bind people to familiar, often negative, ways of experiencing themselves and the world.
