Psychodynamic Therapists in Spotswood, NJ

I believe that a client that comes to session in good faith to genuinely seek treatment is most likely to achieve their therapeutic goals. Any client who takes that first step to therapy is showing great courage. Once in therapy, simply being themselves and being open to the process will lead to exploration, goal setting and positive change leading to a happier, healthier way of life.

We each want the best life we can make for ourselves. Everyone has potential that has not been developed or utilized enough. Whether one has symptoms of depression, anxiety, problematic relationships or anger difficulties, each one of us can progress to remove symptoms and develop our unique personalities more. That is what keeps me excited about my work after so many years of practice as a psychotherapist. I help people to accomplish their goals and improve their abilities to get more out of life, including their relationships. We are complex beings, filled with so much untapped potential.

I provide adult ADHD assessment, individual therapy, and couples therapy. If you grew up with emotionally unhealthy parents, experienced trauma, or abuse, you might know you need therapy but feel afraid of taking that first step. You might not be sure if you will be able to open up and receive the help you need. Through the work we do together, we can find a way through the stuck spaces inside so that you can allow yourself to feel intimacy in healthy relationships, know your power to make choices in your life, fully experience your positive emotions, and trust your ability to know that you are finally safe.

Worried about your daughter? Lack of self-esteem, lack of confidence, people-pleasing behaviors, no identity of their own, decisions and choices driven by peers, boys and social media likes? There are so many things in our society that are affecting girls and the women they grow into. Together though we can change their thoughts around their experiences and help to build resilience and strength so they can develop into the strong, confident women they were destined to be.

OFFERING TELEHEALTH SESSION. Have you ever thought of change as loss? Even positive change can trigger loss, like starting a new job, graduation or moving into a new home. When we move forward, we leave something behind. Adjust. Readjust. Grief is normal and is an entire emotional process of coping with a loss. Are you struggling with a stressful life transition, depression, anxiety, illness, divorce, work/life imbalance, loss of a pet, an empty nest, unsatisfying relationships? I would like to help you manage your struggles, learn self care and find your inner strength. The grief process doesn’t look or feel the same for anyone.
