Therapists in Maplewood, NJ

As a dedicated practitioner with more than 20 years experience, I bring a level of empathy and caring to all of my patients. This, along with my training at New York University and in Schema Therapy (a powerful experiential, cognitive, and behavioral approach) combine to offer deep healing for my patients. People who contact me are looking for better ways to cope with issues related to self-esteem, depression, anxiety, past trauma, narcissism (in others around them and in themselves) and/or unsuccessful life coping strategies. They are wanting to live and work in more fulfilling ways.

As your therapist I will help you develop more self-awareness, gain new skills to better manage difficult emotions and unhelpful thoughts, enhance your communication skills, and improve your satisfaction in your relationships. We will work together towards helping you gain the insights and tools to increase your overall sense of personal fulfillment and emotional well-being. I am particularly sensitive to and have expertise in helping clients work through difficulties pertaining to immigration and cross-cultural concerns. I strive to create a safe and empathetic space for those who have been affected by war and conflict.

When you reach out for assistance you look for someone who will listen attentively, respond with empathy and understanding of your needs, and expertly guide you towards finding your own unique solutions. Having assisted individuals of all ages through the therapeutic process for many years, I feel I can provide the wisdom and compassion to facilitate your therapeutic process whether you are seeking a short term- solution focused- treatment, or in-depth psychotherapy for yourself, your child, or your family.

As a strengths based therapist, I believe we each possess everything we need to heal, but sometimes we need guidance to rediscover the stability and vitality that makes us unique, beautiful and resilient. I work with people experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma and addiction. Individualized counseling is offered by providing an assessment of issues, conflicts, behavioral patterns and motivations for treatment. Often these moments of confusion and challenge lead to the greatest opportunities for growth. I approach my work with mindfullness and empathy.

Are you looking for answers for yourself, your child, or your aging loved one? Do you have questions about your diagnosis, thinking, memory, attention, or emotions? Perhaps these issues are making it hard to succeed at school, work, in the household, or in making treatment-progress. I am a Board-Certified Neuropsychologist who looks at the “whole person” in their cognition and emotions. I use a therapeutic and evidence-based assessment approach for ADHD, learning disorders, giftedness and autism spectrum disorders; changes in the brain caused by concussions, epilepsy, stroke or dementia; and emotional issues.

I have been working in a private counseling setting since 2012. My counseling techniques include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, humanistic counseling and interpersonal counseling approaches. These techniques are always tailored to the clients' individual needs. I have extensive experience working with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, teenage stress and self-esteem issues, and individuals who have endured traumatic experiences, due to domestic violence or military service. I am trained in Neuro and Biofeedback to help student and professional athletes to improve their sports performance.

Are you feeling down, stuck, or overwhelmed? Are things just not working out despite your best efforts? If so, I know my first priority will be to listen to you in such a way that you are left feeling heard and understood. As a team, we will develop an individualized plan to turn your life around. My approach will be based on your specific needs and what works for you. In doing so, I will provide you with ongoing support along with some highly effective tools that will help to decrease your distress and will leave you feeling better sooner than later.

I began practicing in Maryland in 1978. I resumed practicing in New York in 2004 and added an office in New Jersey in 2013. My practice covers a broad age range from 2-90. I am most comfortable treating adults with a variety of mental health issues. I also see couples and do family therapy. In addition, I have done play therapy with children. I am also comfortable conducting psychological evaluations of children ranging in age from a year to 21 years. I am an expert in developmental disabilities including autism spectrum disorders.

Are you feeling down most of the time? Do you constantly worry about your future? Do you have problems relating to others? If some of these questions speak to you, you may want to talk to a trained therapist, who can help you to sort out the things in your life and help you to regain the lost time you spent alone. Some of the feelings you may have are quite normal. However, it becomes a problem when such emotions and feelings impede the daily functioning of your life, such as inability to work, difficulties with family relationships and friendships.

I treat clients with anxiety, depression, OCD, marital/relationship issues, stage of life issues, stress reduction issues, behavioral issues, mood disorders, career issues, self-esteem issues, anger management issues, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, sexual identity issues, attachment issues, and self-harm issues. I have extensive experience with family therapy and couples therapy. I utilize methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and IMAGO Therapy.

Development throughout life can be a wonderful journey, but sometimes challenges appear that are much easier to master with some help and guidance. During those times psychological treatment can provide assistance. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience in the areas of educational psychology, cognition and mental health. My combined training provides me with a unique understanding of how children, adolescents and young adults think, feel, and learn in a variety of settings. My goal is to provide practical, research-based strategies to children, adolescents and young adults experiencing educational, social, family and emotional difficulties. I offer my services in English and Spanish.

Do you find yourself pretending to be stronger, more vivacious, and better put-together than you feel you truly are? Do you find yourself wanting to hold together an image for others, but feeling less and less capable within? Do you feel that there's a path you should take to unleash a truer you than the path you follow now? Do you often think that you could take that path, but it might be too difficult for you to negotiate by yourself? If there were simply someone who could coach you, someone to confide in, trust? There is.

If you are reading this, you are looking to make changes in your life. The three areas where I can help you make the changes you are looking for, even if you do not yet know the specifics yourself, are changing how you feel, changing specific behaviors, and changing patterns of thought. I like to work quickly and honestly, but I will tailor your therapy to your individual needs. What this means is that you will be given a safe and judgment free space in which to examine and execute the changes that will lead to a happier and more enjoyable life.

We'll work together to help you develop better connection and understanding with people in your life, deal with self doubt, overcome depression and anxiety, recover from loss of loved ones and move forward from the life transitions you are facing.. I don't just listen to you but also interact with you, always encouraging of you. I believe therapy should be a positive experience, supportive of you and your goals, building on your strengths and talents.
