Psychodynamic Therapists in Summit, NJ
Depression, anxiety, anger: sometimes our feelings can be confusing and overwhelming. Struggles at home and work increase when we're not sure how we feel or what to do with our feelings. Our relationships suffer, we don't feel happy and content, and we may wonder if there will ever be improvement. These feelings are often more intense for people who have experienced significant trauma or loss. Figuring out how to seek help and talk about these issues can be difficult. It's hard to know who to turn to, who to trust, and allow ourselves to imagine positive change. Sometimes it's hard to hope.

Do you keep having the same upsetting thoughts over and over? Do you feel stuck? Do you want things to change but find it hard to hold yourself accountable? Do you want a partner to support you in working towards your goals? My role is to reflect back to you the person you would like to be and empower you to make small changes, one day at a time while reframing that critical voice. I have worked extensively in both New York and London with individuals and families of diverse backgrounds. I tailor my approach to respect my client's cultural heritage, familial background, religious beliefs, and unique life experiences.

Something called you to search for a therapist. Based on my clients, if you are asking yourself one of these questions, then today is a good day to follow through on what’s calling you- Why am I not as happy as I think I should be? Why am I stuck? Why is my relationship with (my partner/my kid/my parent/my friend/my colleague) so challenging? How do I take control of what I'm feeling? These questions are completely normal. Life is difficult but there is hope. Together we might be able to find some answers. We all deserve to experience joy and meaning in our lives.

Your self-help books lie in a heap on your nightstand. Your friends seem to have it all together – Why are you so stuck?

If you are experiencing a roadblock or facing a potentially new path or way to live, our work together would include reframing the roadblock as a potential crossroads in which neglected parts of yourself could be explored so as to live a life of greater authenticity, integrity and wholeness. With over 20 years experience, I specialize in "transitions" or what many people experience as either blocks or bridges in their lives as well as the stress that accompanies them. Even good change can be stressful and in some languages, the word for crisis actually means "opportunity."
