Here are my fundamental beliefs about therapy:
- Feeling understood and supported by your therapist is a key to successful therapy
- Feeling too much, too little, or being unsure of what you are feeling can be a significant factor in many problems and a caring, attentive therapist can help you to manage these feelings
- There are understandable reasons that we do what we do and avoid what we avoid and, as your therapist, I can help you to understand and reconsider these beliefs
Here are some of the problems I can often help with:
- Depression, sadness, difficulty feeling happy
- Difficulty getting along with others at home or at work
- Marital problems and relationship problems
- Anxiety, panic, shyness
- Coping with losses
- Overcoming a history of physical and/or sexual abuse
How can I help?
I do individual counseling, marriage counseling (also known as couples therapy), family therapy, and group therapy in Montclair, NJ. Together, we build a therapeutic relationship where it feels safe to share difficult feelings and where it is possible to finally feel understood and accepted, on a path toward greater healing.
