Let's face it, it's not easy coming to the decision to seek out counseling, let alone calling a complete stranger to do so. My hope is that, if you decide to take this step to contact me, we will not be strangers for long. I have been a clinician in various capacities for over 15 years and have always worked very hard to make people feel comfortable talking to me. During those years I have developed a general practice where I have seen people for anxiety, depression, parenting, marriage and sexuality.

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.

Psychotherapy can be a life changing process. In order to choose a therapist, you should consider their training and experience, but ultimately your therapist must be someone with whom you feel comfortable, safe and trusting.
Psychotherapy is a collaboration, where the two of us are working together toward a full understanding of your problems in living. With that greater understanding, you will have more freedom of choice to be how you want to be, and who you want to be. We will need to understand your personal strengths as well as the difficulties and problems you have encountered.

I provide individual therapy, as well as marital counseling.
At its heart, psychotherapy is about self-exploration and making positive change. When we feel good, just about anything is possible. But, when our thoughts and feelings are unhealthy, we become weighed down and limited in what we can achieve, whether professionally, in relationships, or in other endeavors. There is great transformative power in therapy and I am confident we can work together to improve your emotional well-being!

Using my own EFT-based model called " Marital R&R" - Marital Rupture and Repair - I work with my clients towards achieving these natural human longings in their relationship.
All relationships rupture...but not all relationships repair. A couple's ability to safely and effectively repair their ruptures, and heal their pain, is an essential ingredient to any healthy long-term connection. In my office, I meet a great variety of people and relationship types; some are merely dating, while others are already engaged, or have begun the marital journey... and yet others are anywhere from 10-50 years into their marriage. What unites them all is the great human need and desire to feel understood, seen, safe, loved, and held.

I can help you with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict, marital conflict, family violence (including domestic violence), parenting issues, adolescent issues, career issues, substance use, and many, many others.
Hope. Healing. Understanding. You deserve to live a fulfilling life with healthy relationships and satisfying life choices. I look forward to helping you along that journey.

I am an experienced clinician who has successfully helped many individuals, couples and families understand the barriers to meeting their needs and identify the ways and means to move forward.

I synthesize Emotionally Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method, and other approaches to help couples improve their relationship, restoring respect, appreciation, and love to the marriage.
We all would like to make choices that lead to a fulfilling and rewarding life. Too often, those choices seem out of reach and one feels stuck in an unyielding reality that one cannot control or change. There are tools that you can employ to take control of your life, redirecting thoughts, regulating emotions, and changing your behavior in a more productive way. Accompanied with self-discovery and insight, you can experience life in a different way and choose to live a happier and more satisfying life. Personal change empowers you to discover new opportunities for self-growth and expand your ability to live life to its fullest.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
