You cannot change the past, but you can take control of your future. Together we will uncover long-standing behavioral and thought patterns that may be holding you, your child, or your family, back. We will work on new ways to cope, and help you move forward to a more exciting and fulfilling life.
I am a private practice therapist providing services in the Northern, New Jersey area. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional disorders. I am excited about the opportunity to work collaboratively with you through this therapeutic process.
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
