Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Piscataway, NJ

The world can be a complex place and it has become more challenging than ever to find safe outlets to process life. I am here to provide a space for you to explore your thoughts, vent your feelings, and develop healthy coping strategies. In my 10+ years of experience working in outpatient clinics, I've been able to hone my skills with diverse populations. I am also trained in a specific treatment modality to address/manage symptoms of OCD. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental atmosphere where you can let your true self shine through.

I believe that one of the greatest weapons against stress, fear, and other life challenges is our ability to choose one thought over another.

My diverse cultural background and passion for empowerment and advocacy serves as a guiding force in treating my clients with respect and dignity.

I am a cognitive therapist, trained at the Beck Institute of Cognitive Therapy, with over 30 years of experience in individual and couples' therapy.

Clients that I work with praise not only my knowledge and competence but also my warmth and wisdom.

How we perceive something will directly impact our emotional and behavioral responses. Learning to understand the process of perception will offer ongoing opportunities for an individual to enact change in his or her life. In my practice, I draw from my intensive training in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to teach these fundamental skills to clients and help them to achieve their goals.

I have often had the best success with clients seeking a symptom relief or crisis resolution, in combination with a desire to change lifestyles. Personal growth is more than learning new coping skills, requiring a commitment to self exploration and changing orientations. Breaking old patterns of thought and behavior can be accomplished via changing what we pay attention to,how we treat ourselves and others and broadening our view of the world. I focus on the life directions, passions and strengths of people. I am informed by the belief that we are all unique beings.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to put in the work in the therapeutic process. The client should be able to recognize that there are changes that need to happen and are willing to do what it takes to make therapy work for them. The main issues that I work with are anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. The goals of therapy would be to find a balance between where emotions no longer inhibit a person's ability to function on a daily basis.
