People find a therapist because they are looking to improve their lives and relationships in some way. I am passionate about helping my clients achieve this growth and improvement; to move from a place of emotional pain or discomfort towards one of well-being and peace. It is my belief that every individual who embarks on therapy has strengths that we can embrace and build upon. My style is collaborative...an active partnership between therapist and client. Together we will explore your feelings, experiences and personal goals.

I have been in private practice for more than 20 years. I work in Northern New Jersey and provide short-term psychotherapy using psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, EMDR and IFS. I feel using an integrated model produces the best results. Every client is different so it's necessary to use multiple modalities --a one size fits all model does not work in therapy. I like working in partnership with clients. I am approachable, warm, nurturing and active in my sessions. I believe it's essential to be available to clients and return phone calls and emails on a timely basis
