Therapist Overview
I am dedicated to helping individuals develop the skills to resolve interpersonal and psychological issues. I have specialty training in family therapy, grief/bereavement counseling and in health psychology, including pain and symptom management, anxiety reduction and adjustment to illness. I am particularly sensitive to women’s issues including pre- and postpartum concerns and challenges, eating disorders and body image issues. I work with adolescents in the area of behavior management, dealing with blended family issues, school avoidance and self harm. For the past two years I have been selected by New Jersey Family Magazine as a “Favorite Kid Doc”. I am available to my clients through online or phone sessions. I am also accessible between sessions through text, email and cell phone. I believe that a strong therapeutic experience begins with an empathic relationship. I have intensive training in intervention styles such as cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and psychodynam
