Therapists in North Plainfield, NJ

Like all therapists, I'm not for everyone. I don't fit the stereotypical image, walk to the beat of a different drum, maybe like yourself. I try to offer a balance of strength and compassion. I don't want to be solely soft and safe, nor exclusively forceful and aggressive. The art is in finding that balance and offering you that unique mix. You'll probably be divulging some pieces of yourself that are raw and weighty and maybe even a bit scary. This can be difficult, I know, I was a client before I was ever a therapist.

My clients are individuals / couples struggling with: personal relationships, family issues, career management, addictions / substance abuse, personality disorders, depression / anxiety / debilitating disorders. I assist clients in spiritual development / enhancement of life-style, using cognitive behavioral / eclectic counseling. I have counseling / managerial experience in the social services field plus 20 years business management experience in the private/public sectors. In addition to my MA from Seton Hall University in Counselor Education, I have graduate credits in Alternative Dispute Resolution from Rutgers University. I am a NJ State Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and NBCC Board certified as a National Certified Counselor (NCC).

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.

I focus on the Cognitive Behavioral approach, but often will adjust to a more eclectic approach to meet the individual needs of each client. I believe it is crucial to have multiple modalities of therapy when working to achieve positive change. I incorporate a form of Biofeedback, called Neurofeedback. Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, can improve the way you or your child’s brain functions. It’s a process of identifying target areas of the brain that can benefit from cognitive training. During training I monitor your brain’s activity while you learn new behaviors through a visual and auditory reward system.

If you are considering therapy, it is likely that something significant in your life is not going the way you want it to, and you've not been able to change or resolve it on your own. It may be a troubled relationship, stress related to job/school/family situations, the lingering effects of past or recent traumas–or something else–and involve feelings of worry, sadness, anger, distrust, frustration, loneliness or low self-esteem. If you want things to be different, change is possible. Careful, attentive therapy can help you find relief from negative feelings, improve relationships and problem-solving, and build hope for the future.

Life can be hard at times. Anxiety, depression, stress, strained relationships, and low self-esteem can be debilitating. Sometimes we might try to put on a brave face and push away feelings, only to increase our sense of isolation. Feeling alone can make these feelings even worse and decrease our self-worth. Therapy takes many forms and looks different for everyone. I strive to provide a unique space for all of my clients. We will uncover issues around self-doubt, perfectionism, feeling like a failure, and indecision while working to increase self-compassion and empathy.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or the loss of a loved one with a sense of feeling lost, hopeless, and without purpose? Are you struggling with life transitions & open to delving deeper to explore those issues?

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.

Let's talk about it, and work together towards solutions.
