Find a Therapist in Pennington, NJ

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs.

I am an interactive, solution-focused, faith-based therapist, with over 19 years of experience. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to empower and help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a warm, safe and supportive environment, with a personalized approach tailored to each of my client's needs.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)) with 2 years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan. I work with individuals navigating mood challenges, anxiety, depression, autism, obsessive-compulsive challenges (OCD), and everyday stressors. In our work together, we focus on building healthier routines, strengthening coping skills, and creating a sense of balance and well-being that fits your life.

My goal is to provide counseling, psychotherapy and treatment for individuals, couples and families struggling with a variety of psychological and mental health issues including stress, relationships, marital problems, depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol, eating disorders, learning disability attention problems etc... As the Coordinator of Campus Alcohol and Substance Awareness at Temple University and as the past Assistant Director of Student Health and Counseling at The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia I have a lot of experience working with clients facing all the above issues and more. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process where clients sort out their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of who they are. My approach is eclectic or integrative but I use many psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches in my work. I trust that clients know deep down what should be talked about in therapy and that they mostly need help knowing how to access these thoughts and feelings in order to realize what it is they want and need from others and their lives. I am very open to sharing my personal thoughts and experiences as a way of helping others. I find that it often helps patients to know that their therapist is a human being too and much can be learned from the relationship of therapy. Many clients come to a therapists office because they struggling in their relationships. Paying attention to how your relationship develops with your therapist can help you understand how the really important relationships in your life outside of the therapeutic relationship work.

I’m a clinical psychologist in New York City, trained at Harvard Medical School and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. I work with high-striving, curious professionals who struggle with anxiety, anger, obsessive compulsion (OCD), perfectionism, and the pressures that often come with achievement. Much of my work is with executives, founders, and C-suite leaders navigating burnout, high-stakes decisions, and the emotional costs of sustained performance. Many of my clients function seamlessly on the outside while feeling caught in overthinking, self-criticism, irritability, or relationship friction, or in a persistent sense that they should be doing (or feeling) better. I’m the author of Perfectionism: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals, and as an assistant professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, I’ve taught psychotherapy techniques, abnormal psychology, and group therapy. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy, so the work is both practical and exploratory. You’ll learn concrete strategies to reduce rumination, anxiety, and emotional reactivity in real time. Alongside that, we’ll look at why certain situations feel so charged, why familiar cycles repeat, and what internal expectations shape your life and relationships. At times I bring books, essays, or film into our work. People often recognize themselves in a character or story before they’ve found the words to describe their own experience, and those moments can open up new ways of thinking about identity, relationships, and internal conflict. I primarily work via telehealth and offer limited in-person sessions in New York City. I’m licensed through PSYPACT, which allows me to see clients by telehealth in 43 states. If any of this sounds familiar, I’d be glad to talk. I offer an initial phone consultation to get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether we’re a good fit.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years, working with individuals couples and families. I work with individuals and families dealing with a wide range of issues, and with both traditional and non traditional families. Who ever I am working with, I pay attention to the context of people's lives and the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. As a family and couple therapist I work with the ways our interaction patterns serve to promote healing, and the ways that those patterns help to maintain problems. In difficult times both individuals and families can become focused on their problems, and the more positive parts of our lives can become diminished. I think that one of the important tasks of therapy is to help people to focus on and utilize their strengths and resources
