Great to meet you!

Many of the people I work with are carrying more than they let on — managing anxiety, depression, or the weight of a life transition that's harder to navigate than they expected. Whether you're in the middle of a major adjustment or simply feeling like something is off, you don't have to sort through it alone. I work with adults and older adults across New Jersey and New York who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a steadier path forward.

My approach to therapy

My approach starts with listening — really listening — to understand not just what you're experiencing, but why. With over 30 years of experience in psychology, I've found that lasting change comes from identifying the underlying roots of what's troubling you, not just managing the surface. I practice interactive cognitive behavioral therapy, which means our work is collaborative and grounded in practical strategies you can carry with you between sessions.

What you can expect from me

If you've been hesitant to reach out, that hesitation makes sense — starting therapy takes courage. But you don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. Wherever you are right now is a reasonable place to begin. I welcome new clients through Headway and would be glad to connect with you.
