I am a LCSW and certified School SW with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. The decision to ask for help takes courage and can be intimidating.

Co-founder and partner of Comprehensive Counseling Center, Howell NJ. I've been in practice for 30+ years. My primary focus is couples, marital and adult individual counseling.

When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.

NOW OFFERING VIDEO COUNSELING SESSIONS. Are you feeling the impact of stress, depression, and/or anxiety? Do you have relationship issues or problems stemming from miscommunication? Have you ever felt that you and your partner were speaking different languages or maybe you just weren't communicating effectively?

I aim to heal these communication breakdowns and to help you through the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress that you may be experiencing.

Accepting new clients! Are you feeling hopeless and even considering divorce? Are you drained from fighting with your partner? It is likely a different topic each time, but the pattern of the arguments feels the same. They leave you feeling unheard, misunderstood, and maybe rejected and hurt. Or, perhaps, you’re in a relationship others envy because on the outside, you appear to get along so well. But behind closed doors, there is no connection, fun or intimacy. Work, kids, or other stressors drain your time and energy, and you do little more with your partner than fall asleep next to them exhausted at the end of the day.

A first therapy session is a little like a blind date; if the interpersonal chemistry isn't right, there shouldn't be a second date. At the end of our first session together, if you feel safe, secure, understood and supported, then, and only then, do we go forward. Otherwise I'll refer you elsewhere. If it feels to you like we can work well together, you can probably get beyond your struggles with depression, anxiety and/or relationship issues more quickly than you think. I look forward to meeting you

I see a variety of clients who are dealing with feelings of anxiety and depression due to identity issues, relationship troubles, occupational stress and parenting difficulties.
