If you have ever sought a psychotherapy that was less about symptoms and labels, and more about overcoming, problem-solving, and achieving life satisfaction, welcome. If you've ever felt like an alien on Earth, completely out of context, and that you needed to find your own real self again, we have that in common. I am a trained forensic psychological evaluator who has written many books on arts of healing and psychotherapy. I have been a holistic practitioner, and I guess the headline is I am a musical artist (Shockocracy). I am accepting a small number of artistic psychotherapy patients at this time, and I have staff available.

I view each client as unique. What works for one will not work for everyone and therefore I utilize several therapeutic approaches in order to best suit my patient's needs. I am energetic, warm and empathic and push people in a supportive way to make the necessary changes in their life. I use humor and provide a relaxing environment for people to feel safe and to grow in. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a pre-doctoral degree in Marriage and Family therapy and I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist.

If you are suffering with anxiety and/or depression, or anger issues, you know the pain and distress they can cause in our daily lives. What we overlook is the important scientific understanding that many of these problems are also partly the result of chronic stress, that has affected our brains and minds at some point in our physiological and psychological development, and the various coping styles we have developed to survive within that stressful environment. Scientific studies have shown that these 'coping habits' we developed, can be changed with awareness and training of the workings of our minds.

I am a PhD Clinical Psychologist licensed to practice in New Jersey. My practice has 2 NJ locations, in Mountain Lakes and in Englewood. I work with individuals, couples and families.
After more than 20 years as a psychotherapist, I still feel passionate about my work. I love working with people. I continue to be fascinated and moved by people's ability to grow and change, and I feel privileged to be invited into their world. I believe that, working together to understand the difficulties that they are facing, we can find more authentic and more rewarding ways of living life and being in relationships.

The greatest change happens when people are empowered to make changes in their own life. I help people find their inner strength and inner wisdom to see their challenges more clearly so they can change their lives for the better.

You can't stop worrying, even when it seems like there's nothing to worry about. You feel tired, irritated, or constantly on autopilot. Socializing is overwhelming and exhausting. This is not the life you pictured for yourself.

You've lived with fear, emotional pain, and/or loss for a long time. Maybe it feels like all of your life. Maybe this is a relatively new experience. You may have heard hurtful things like "suck it up", or "deal with it" almost as if this is all your fault or you can cope with this all by yourself. It's not, and you don't have to! It doesn't have to feel this way. I would like to help you find the way to make things better. To feel better! Talking to the right therapist can help you not only feel better but ultimately become the best version of you that you can be.

Are you feeling anxious and out of control when you think about your child? Do you have questions about relationships or parenting? I have a background in both development and psychotherapy. I teach parents about development and help them learn what is "getting in the way" of parenting the way they want to. I also help couples "get on the same page" with parenting. Children come here to enhance development, learn social skills and have good self esteem. Children with developmental, behavioral and sensory concerns find a safe place to grow and explore. Parent Coaching is also available.

When you express your thoughts and feelings openly to me, I listen non-judgmentally and help you sort through life’s challenges. Together, we will tackle your issues and free you up for growth, more confidence, and self-awareness. I create an individualized treatment experience that's just as unique as you are.

I specialize in providing individually tailored, evidence-based psychotherapy with a focus on increasing self-understanding - the way one makes sense of their own history, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and the examination of how and why individuals often engage in distressing or ineffective behaviors. I assist patients in improving their awareness of these patterns, and in the process make changes to allow for a richer and more meaningful life. I am currently licensed as a psychologist in the states of New York and New Jersey.

Life can be very difficult. There are times that you may question your ability to make decisions in your life especially when life is overwhelming you.

You may feel all alone in a world filled with people. There are ways to rebuild your life, change self defeating behaviors and gain new skills and tools to enhance your life and your relationships. Therapy is about change.

People seek therapy because they are in pain or conflict. As an empathic therapist I am very mindful of how careful listening is a critical aspect of therapy. Patients begin to experience relief when they feel they are working with someone they trust and who cares about their struggles. My work as a Psychologist for 25+ years has given me the experience and skills needed to identify the concerns and issues that keep many people stuck in patterns of behavior that hinder their higher functioning. Alleviating troublesome symptoms, and working toward a more positive self-image are key steps toward emotional well-being.
