I am a LCSW who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults and parents/adults. I have many years of experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, substance use/abuse and trauma. The most important aspect of my practice is to always meet each client where they are at and to provide a judgement-free zone for client's to feel authentic and safe in working through their struggles.

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing is a courageous step, and I am honored that you are considering me as your partner in this transformative process. As a therapist, my mission is to create a safe and empathetic space where you can explore the depths of your emotions, navigate life's challenges, and ultimately, find the strength within to cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic existence.

As a licensed psychologist in practice for over 25 years, I have been so fortunate to have fostered personal growth and fulfillment in those I have worked with. I help people to build on their strengths in order to enjoy their lives. The first sign of strength is recognizing that there is a problem and coming for help. I work with people of all ages, but specialize in adolescents and young adults. I deal with a wide variety of emotional difficulties and have experience helping with adjustment to college and early adulthood, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting concerns.

One of the most difficult things to do is to recognize we need help... for even the strongest and most healthy can need a trusted mentor and healer at some point. Our personal lives and experiences shouldn't be trusted to just anyone; and it is difficult to find a qualified therapist who is both skilled in their work and able to connect with others in an empathetic way. Rob has this blend of unique and important abilities. He believes that successful therapy is working toward the ability to heal, recover, and thrive in one's life. Rob is a Clinical Director at Minisink Psychology & Psychotherapy in Ridgewood, NJ.

My focus is on the problem(s) YOU identify which need work. We'll talk about the obstacles to reaching your goal and then discuss ways to move beyond these blockages. Our sessions will address the trials, surprises and errors you find along the way to establish the confidence and peace of living one's truth.

Taking a step to admit that things are not right in your life is difficult, but there is no shame in that. At some point in our lives, we all need help. Some people think that asking for help implies weakness, or a lack of strength. Asking for help when vulnerable, however, is wise. Instead of bearing pain and emotional distress alone, you can find strength in a psychotherapeutic relationship. Let me help you find your source of strength through psychotherapy. I work with patients wanting to examine and understand their emotional pain.

I work in an eclectic manner with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, loss, PTSD, at-risk behaviors, relationship issues and life transitions. I offer a supportive and interactive experience for clients, providing the most appropriate modality and pace for each client.

I do assessments to verify people needing "Therapy Pets" for travel and Clinical Assessments for Bariatric Surgery. I offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy as an alternate experiential approach or as an adjunct modality to traditional talk therapy.
