I am a licensed psychologist and have been practicing in New Jersey for the past 18 years. I work with adults primarily, focusing on anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and work stress. My doctoral training, at Rutgers University (Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology), focused on traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy. Today, I view myself as eclectic and open-minded in my orientation and I incorporate other approaches into my work. I am certified in EMDR and have a developing interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as the very new 3S (Spiritual Self Schema) therapy for addictive disorders. I also have an interest in family systems and interpersonal approaches.
Please don't hesitate to call or write if you have any questions about my practice -I would be glad to speak with you on the telephone.

My clients typically range in age from older adolescents (16-17) to older adults. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. Occasionally, I run small time-limited groups. My approach is collaborative and open, thoughtfully considering resources, obstacles, expectations, and possible approaches to accomplishing goals.
Typical concerns, for those who come to my practice include adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, bipolar disorders, relationship or work difficulties, addictive problems, coping with illness, physical health issues, immigrant cultural integration, adoption/pre-adoption issues, or brain-injury related difficulties.
