I specialize in addressing symptoms of anxiety and depression in adults as well as in couples therapy.
From an early age, we all learn ways to cope with stress, change, and new relationships. Sometimes, familiar coping strategies, which may have served you well in the past, are no longer effective as life inevitably changes. You may feel "stuck" in these moments and at a loss for how to move forward. I work to provide a safe therapy space to explore feelings of sadness, worry, and uncertainty. Together, we can develop new coping strategies and create a plan for positive change that feels meaningful to you.

In my practice, I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, and problems associated with stress, relationships, life transitions, grief, and loss.
I have always liked the metaphor that therapy is like riding in the car with someone. You are the one behind the wheel, deciding where and how fast we go and I am the one with the map helping you to get there. I believe in forming collaborative relationships with the people I work with. I strive to help you understand yourself better so that you can make meaningful change in your life. My goal is to help you form strategies and ways of thinking that can be translated from the therapy room to every day life - to work, school. relationships, and within yourself.

My approach ranges from DBT and mindfulness work for anxiety and depression to the traditional psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy.
Many of my clients share a need to explore familial relationships to understand their behavioral patterns and how to make those patterns healthier. Others struggle with anxiety or depression and wish to learn coping skills to better handle the challenges of daily life. Additionally, I have worked with Princeton undergraduate and graduate students for many years and understand well the many and varied challenges which students may face.

My expertise includes addressing trauma, sex, sleep issues, depression, anxiety, and moral injury.
Life can be incredibly challenging, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or hopeless. These emotions can sometimes lead us to act in ways that don’t align with who we want to be. Therapy provides the tools to help you thrive (or, when necessary, survive) and offers a supportive space where you can feel accepted and empowered. It also helps you gain better self-understanding, stay present during tough times, and nurture more positive emotions.

I have primarily treated patients with issues related to relationships, intimacy, anxiety, depression, identity, existential, religious, spiritual, gender, racial, adolescence, family systems, and organizational issues while focusing on productive goals.
I had my first position as a counselor when I was just 20 and the compassion that lived through me then continues 48 years later. While developing professionally I enrolled in a personal individual and group training analysis and had a deep and caring experience as a patient. I consider it an incredible responsibility to practice as an integrative healer as I believe the therapeutic relationship is a privilege between two people. I continue to cultivate my personal practice, evolving throughout my life with an open heart, and open mind. My mother, and father remain central influences in my practice as a psychologist/psychoanalyst.

If you are seeking relief from issues related to anxiety, depression, panic attacks, addiction, OCD, ADHD, trauma, or grief, please reach out to me.
In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I am one of only two Certified Bioenergetic Therapists in NJ. This cutting-edge form of body-centered psychotherapy involves tapping into the body’s own wisdom through techniques such as breathing, grounding, and centering. Research shows that traumatic stress has little to do with cognition—it emanates from the emotional part of the brain, which is accessed through the body. I have spent more than ten years studying and applying this specialized form of psychotherapy and find deep satisfaction in helping others receive its benefits.
