Family Therapy, Couple Counseling, Individual Counseling, Group Therapy, and Psychodrama, in Northern NJ
Welcome to my website. In addition to providing training to other counselors, social workers, and family therapists, I offer psychotherapy to families, couples, individuals and groups in my private practice, located in Montclair, NJ.
My Philosophy I believe that most problems arise out of difficulties we encounter between ourselves and our closest relationships. These difficulties most often arise during transitions like forming a union such as marriage, having a child, a child leaving home, adolescence, separation, retirement, or death. I strongly believe that having warm intimate relationships is the key to living a gratifying life. Conflict and loss, addiction and other breaches of trust can compromise these relationships leaving us hurt, angry, sad and lost. Emotional isolation is devastating to the human spirit.
I help my clients to find hope by reducing their isolation and encouraging them to connect with others through gratifying experiences.
How I Work I use a variety of experiential techniques, some coming from psychodrama, some coming from hypnotherapy. Each technique is tailor-made to the client(s) and the situation.
Who Can Benefit Some of the problems I can help with include :
parents who are struggling with their young or adolescent children
couples struggling to re-establish love and trust in their relationship
individuals struggling with anxiety and panic attacks
coping with sadness, depression, and isolation
coping with separation and divorce
grieving the loss of a loved one
