Therapists in Flemington, NJ

There are times when navigating life's difficulties can be especially challenging and you're not quite sure how you'll get through. You may be feeling overwhelmed with stressful situations, facing periods of transition, experiencing anxiety and/or depression, reeling from a break-up, inundated by waves of grief, or feeling stuck in dysfunctional family life. There's no doubt that you're doing the best you know how to do to cope with difficult emotions, yet you're still finding that you're struggling to function in daily life like you used to or want to. Reaching out for help is the first step in taking charge of your wellbeing.

Stuck in a rut? There's a way out. I specialize in sex therapy and trauma. I have extensive experience in individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy. I use methods that examine the root causes of behavioral and emotional patterns which lead to depression, anxiety, alcohol dependence, substance abuse, thought distortions, relationship attachments, erectile dysfunction, or vaginal anesthesia. Where medication is ineffective, intensive therapy sessions have the power to change the paralyzing state of our psychological and physical condition. The causes may be situational, easily detected, but others may be deeper, stored in our rigidified muscles, buried in the remote recess of our minds.

When you change the way you think, you change the way you feel. Counseling helps clarify thoughts and feelings. Our collaborative sessions create a safe, compassionate space to delve into present and past challenges that contributing to limiting behaviors and emotions. Therapy will take on a goal-oriented behavioral approach propelling you swiftly and effectively forward in life. Begin a journey of personal growth toward greater happiness, stability and consistency. Explore, cultivate, refine healthier ways of thinking and responding. Achieve happy life balance, improve relationships, be a better partner, parent and friend.

I am a New York State and New Jersey State Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Human and Organizational Psychologist. I received my BA in Psychology from The City College of New York, my MSW from The State University of New York at Stony Brook, and my PsyD from Touro University Worldwide.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. My direct work focused on providing counseling services to parents and their children. Services provided included case management, individual therapy, family counseling, marital therapy, and psychoeducation. In addition, my experience lies in working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, parenting education, children's behavioral issues, and relaxation/mindfulness. I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I pride myself on consistently attending new trainings and webinars to stay educated and informed.

Life is difficult, and so is the process of change, but please know that you do not need to be alone in these moments. Together we can help to improve your relationships, your thoughts and feelings, and assist you in obtaining what you want for your life. Please come in for a discussion. I have significant experience working with anxiety/worry, depression, anger issues, substance abuse (addictive behaviors), as well as interpersonal problems (i.e., divorce/separation, loss, marriage/love problems, and work/career-related issues).

Welcome! I have a compassionate heart to help bring relief/tools to those who feel anxious, self doubt, not enough, disconnected, unfulfilled, & insecure.

Everyone has a story & you aren't alone. Contact me for free consultation today.

One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent is seeing your child in pain and feeling like there is nothing that you can do to help. Have you become increasingly concerned about your child's behavior at home or school? Do you worry that your child is struggling with day to day functioning? Are their behaviors difficult to understand and manage? Does the smallest thing seem to trigger your child? Is your teen withdrawing and not engaging in activities that once brought them joy? Is your teen engaging in harmful behaviors?

I have been in healthcare as a mental health professional for over 35 years. As an integrative psychotherapist I combine both science and a broad spectrum of spiritual philosophies and practices. I assist by providing guidance and direction to those who seek healing. I work with you putting the pieces of the puzzle together helping you towards relief and ultimately peace. The combination of the traditional psychotherapeutic clinically based training and the multiple spiritual models of thought and various ideologies together are extremely successful and offer hope in healing.

No matter how strong we are, we all need help sometimes. We know it can be hard to ask for help. Maybe you’ve been thinking about it for months, even years.

Worry. Restlessness. Poor Concentration. Intrusive Thoughts. Panic. Our mental health can serve as a major disruption to our lives. I admire your courage in taking this step to seek out help. As your therapist, I will first strive to understand your story. Then, we will collaboratively identify a therapeutic approach that will best fit your goals. Often times, our past impacts our present . Therefore, we can strive to not only address your current symptoms, but attempt to resolve the root causes to your problems, such as unresolved trauma. We don’t always realize how much old emotional wounds are still causing us pain.

During these uncertain times, feelings of worry, sadness, anger and loneliness are more common, but you are not alone and do not need to face these feelings in isolation. My goal is to support you as we work together in a safe, non-judgmental environment where you will find compassion, understanding and resolution. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist I have 20+ years of experience counseling children, adolescents, and adults specializing in anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, parent/child attachment, grief/loss, family issues, child play therapy and parent training for adoption/foster care.
