Introduction

Welcome! I am an experienced psychotherapist providing in-person individual, couples and family therapy in Montclair, NJ, as well as virtually throughout NJ, NY, and VA. I have practiced and taught clinical work in multiple settings. My approach is informed by the art of story-telling, with careful attention to language used and meaning made of lived experience. In each therapy, I look to identify sources of unhelpful or unwarranted impressions, and to learn from previous successes, both while tapping into reserves of hope and empathy. I hold a collaborative, active, and transparent stance. My goal in the work is to help people move from feeling stuck in rigid and limiting ways of relating that stir feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, and pain, to where they have the opportunity to rebuild the trust, respect, and love between one another that is often sought.
