Child Therapists in Wyckoff, NJ
Seeking help for yourself and/or your child can certainly be daunting.
Growing up in the world today has become exceptionally challenging for our youth. With technology and social media, families are confronted with more adversity than ever before. In our journey toward healthy development and happiness, we are experiencing escalating levels of pressure to achieve and "fit-in", when, in reality, we are all seeking a sense of belonging. Many parents and their children are trying to cope with depression/anxiety, social conflict, including bullying, and often traumatic experiences or exposure to traumatic events, which manifest in self-destructive behavior, low self-esteem, and social isolation.

I also have extensive experience working with gifted and talented children and teenagers.
I believe that the success of therapy lies within the therapeutic relationship. As a psychologist I know that therapy can be an anxiety producing process, therefore I do my best to make my patients feel comfortable. I am very interactive and I often ask questions and offer suggestions. My ideal client is a child, adolescent, or adult that is experiencing anxiety; either generalized or concerning a specific issue. I work within a cognitive behavioral modality, offering ways to empower patients to help themselves cope with their symptoms of anxiety. I specialize in helping patients deal with anxiety, depression or life changes such as divorce.

I'm passionate about discussing the complexities of raising children while still recognizing adults’ need to take care of themselves.
As they say on an airplane, "place your oxygen mask on first before assisting others". It’s hard to care for children, parents, friends or family, if you’re not first caring for yourself. I welcome any client who is looking to help themselves. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, your self-esteem and social relationships aren’t where you’d like them to be, parenting effectively feels nearly impossible, or anything in between, I’m here to help. I began working with children in schools and developed a love for supporting the adults who care for them.

Or your child is dealing with a lot - navigating friendships, pressures from social media, the stress of balancing school and extracurricular activities, and applying to or starting college.
You're constantly worrying about whether you made the right decisions and replaying what you said. You find yourself overthinking and can't stop these anxious thoughts. They become obsessive, keep you up at night, or turn into panic attacks. You're trying to juggle a work/life balance, heal from a breakup, or start a new relationship. You feel stuck in the middle of being treated like a child, but wanting to feel more like an adult.

Being a parent is a gift. However, some days we can find ourselves wondering if we are doing our best by our children, our partners and even ourselves. With life's demands - work, household responsibilities, other activities - one can find themselves feeling as if they are stretched thin. Stress that is left unchecked can run the risk of escalating to a severe presentation of anxiety or depression. This can in turn affect the way we parent and resolve family conflict. As a Mother and Wife I bring this relateability to our conversations.
