Female Therapists in Paramus, NJ
In understanding that individuals in pain or having a particular challenge in life may make only one attempt at reaching out for help, I strive to welcome and set at ease every one who contacts me. Most therapy patients are ordinary people that have hit a bump in the road of life and cannot get past it on their own.
My commitment, through goal directed therapy, is to help those people return to their optimal level of coping with the sometimes mild, sometimes severe challenges that life brings their way and guide them back to a sense of well being.

I enjoy my profession as a therapist. Every person faces life transitions and crises. All that we can control is how we respond to these challenges. My approach is to try to understand each client's unique needs, discover and mobilize the client's strengths, and enhance their coping skills. I strive to help my client use the precipitant, what brought them to therapy, to grow as a person from the therapy experience. My approach is to listen to my client, help them process their feelings, empower them to see that they have choices, and choose emotionally healthy options.

My therapeutic approach works with Individuals, couples, families and groups seeking to have a more integrated way to live their lives while facing the challenges that can interfere with that goal. I am a psycho-dynamically trained psychologist who finds that initially focusing on symptom relief helps the individual begin the healing process. My work centers on assisting the individual or groups to break free from past issues that interfere with the present and that may impact the future. My many years as a former psychology professor and practicing psychologist has informed my practice with the latest techniques in mental health.

I work from an empathic perspective which means I want to come to know you in a non-judgmental way at a pace that is comfortable to you. Do you find yourself searching for answers, unable to find satisfaction in both work and relationships? Are you searching for something greater and more in life that never seems to come? Do you feel you are somehow undercutting yourself, demeaning your accomplishments? Are you feeling alienated from others in social situations or when around other people?

Therapy is weird. I get it. You are sharing your secrets with a stranger. The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important aspect of therapy. I have worked with single mothers, couples, families, children/teenagers, and the LGBT community. Working since 2007, there is not much I have not seen. I treat my clients like I would want my family members to be treated, with respect, compassion, sincerity and honesty. I also believe therapy can be fun as well as constructive and valuable.

My style is personal and interactive with a strength-based approach rooted in respect for each individual I see.
Each person brings an unique set of strengths and challenges to our sessions. I listen to the unique needs and concerns and provide feedback based on exploration of those issues which interfere with a person's ability to live life to the fullest-whether it be the self-image of a child,concern of a parent, self-esteem of an adolescent, confusion of a young adult, life challenges of an adult, grief and loss of an older adult.
