Overview
“Talk therapy can help you become your true self. I have worked extensively with adults and have a good understanding of childhood issues.I work with individuals and families from an interpersonal approach with a focus on emotions.I believe that all people have resources to solve problems.I am easy to talk to and I have great listening skills. I have worked many years with adolescents in public education. I have had great success with them because I understand what it is like being an adolescent today. I also have an extensive background in substance abuse.
I am a licensed professional counselor offering individualized services including consultation, skill development, problem solving, and individual therapy. I do substance abuse evaluations with recommendations if requested.
I have 20 years working with adolescents and adults. I have expertise in substance abuse, grief issues, and gender identity. I also work well with adult men as they tend to be resistant to getting help and as a male therapist I understand their needs. Many insurances I will accept as full payment if needed.”

If you are plagued by one or more of these disorders or issues, know that there is a light at the end of that tunnel in which you have been confined. There is a way out! My caring, supportive expertise can assist you in embarking on a course of self-discovery and healing in order to:

•Break free of the limitations that you have placed upon yourself and have allowed others to place upon your shoulders
•Gain an understanding of and appreciation for your own unique talents
•Acquire the self-confidence necessary to address areas requiring improvement, leading a more fulfilling life
•Improve communication, time management, and other life skills
•Say “no” to negative influences and “yes” to a richer, fuller life
•Adapt to change and transition
•Achieve a balance between your personal life and your career
•Explore growth opportunities
•Put the past behind you and look forward to tomorrow
•Become your own best friend
I understand that taking that first step is always the most difficult. When you are ready to begin to reclaim your life, I will be there for you. I have two locations in Bergen County, New Jersey, or we can explore the possibility of telephone therapy. And, please feel free to send me an email.
