NJ & NY Licensed Psychologist
I am at ease in working with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and anger management. Whether issues are due to current difficulties with relationships, work health or change, or longstanding issues with self esteem, addictions or behavioral problems; my practical, interpersonal style is comforting and effective. I can provide clarity in many cases, and support deep, value-driven insight, when the problems you are facing are confusing and you are having difficulty making authentic choices. My clients receive attention on multiple levels including body-brain-mind-energy-emotion-thought-heart-spirit and soul and grow in awareness of themselves on these different levels.
Specialties include trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and executive dysfunction (i.e. problems with organizing, problem solving, memory, sustained attention) due to mild TBI or ADD and Issues related to relationships, self esteem, grief and personal growth/change. Practical spirituality and energy psychology are always fun to incorporate into my work.
I’m eager to work with people who are ready to enter into therapy. It’s a great ride. Please call to consult about your situation and whether therapy can help.
