Personal Statement
Adults, families and children, at one time or another, find themselves in need of support from a psychologist. For most, they are struggling with either depression, anxiety, stress, parenting, family dynamics, relationship issues and/or behavioral concerns. The need may stem from long standing or emerging patterns of behavior, or perhaps there is an acute crisis that requires immediate attention. I work with clients to identify areas in need of support and change, and develop goals to foster overall wellbeing and improved quality of life. Progress and growth is achieved through improved insight into one's thoughts and behaviors as well as individually tailored skills to manage them.
I am a New York State and New Jersey Licensed Clinical Psychologist committed to enhancing the wellbeing and emotional growth of individuals, children and families. Through expert training, consultation and therapeutic services with an emphasis on cognitive and behavioral techniques, I address mood disorders, family issues, parenting, interpersonal relationships, childhood development, behavioral disorders and school-related issues. I foster a comfortable and supportive atmosphere focused on symptom reduction and optimal personal growth.
If you have questions about my practice or the kind of support you are looking for, please contact me. Offices hours are by appointment only.
