For over 30 years, I have practiced as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker helping clients with anxiety and depression; relationship issues; life transition issues, bereavement, trauma and PTSD.
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) This is the question, isn't it? How you can create a life that reflects who you truly are, and brings the joy and well-being that a "precious" life promises. In the work I do, we figure out what that life would look like, and equally important, what gets in the way of claiming it.

We believe in any therapeutic counseling relationship, to effectively correct thinking patterns that produce life long change, the client must understand how everything starts and ends with the individual.
The mind is where everything is processed which determines how an individual thinks, believes, and reacts to the game of life. Blurred vision does not discriminate. It can allow unwanted thoughts to take over and set the individual on a path that is not demonstrating a "Beautiful Expression of Life". Everything starts and ends in the mind therefore, the life scripts of your mind (way of thinking) needs to be accountable to living life more abundantly and loving yourself. This premise is crucial as one navigates life's relationships of spirituality, family, vocation, and leisure.

My many professional publications include articles on intimacy, the therapeutic relationship, and dreams.
I have been practicing individual, couple, and group psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults for the past 37 years.

I will listen to you with respect, compassion, warmth and understanding as we build a relationship and work together towards achieving your goals and your optimal life.

I help individual parents and couples: cope with the inherent challenges, work through their sense of "loss," and navigate toward acceptance and rediscovering joy in life.
You are seeking help from an experienced therapist and that is the first step toward feeling better! Whether worried, overwhelmed, resentful, and/or "down-in-the dumps," you are reaching out to a professional, with whom you can feel safe to be yourself and tell your story. Sometimes it is difficult to say out loud what you have not wanted to articulate; however healing takes place when you begin to share, feel understood and problem-solve. We may discover patterns of behavior that are not in your best interest, and explore ways to affect change toward a more satisfying life.

My experience, combined with the extensive training I have undergone, has enabled me to help a multitude of couples change the course of their relationship for the better.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, as well as a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist with a practice operating in Bergen County, New Jersey. The knowledge, behavioral and emotional, gained through working with a Certified Gottman Therapist is invaluable to people in all states of a relationship. I believe that the Gottman Method is advantageous to all couples, pre-marital and marital. While most people enter couple's therapy after many years of distress and frustration, the interventions and skills learned are equally beneficial to couples at the beginning stage of their relationship.

I believe therapy works because of the relationship between the therapist and the patient. When there is an environment of mutual trust, you, as the patient, can feel free to talk about things that you may not have not been able to talk about before. When that begins to happen, there is an immediate sense of relief. As therapy continues and you start to feel less anxious and depressed, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
