I KNOW THINGS CAN GET BETTER.  As a licensed psychologist who has been working with individuals and couples for over 25 years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy. With advanced, post-doctoral training in both short-term solution focused counseling and deeper, insight oriented therapies, I offer seasoned help and guidance for effective and lasting change.  Start creating your best life now!

COUPLES COUNSELING:
You may be feeling depressed or anxious or lonely in your marriage.  Issues around communication, intimacy, sex and affection may be present.  Perhaps there has been a painful affair or you are finding yourself contemplating an affair.  There may be angry exchanges and unresolved conflicts, and you may be feeling that your partner just doesn't hear you or understand you or even care anymore.  You may feel you've tried everything and you just don't know what to do.

If you are feeling badly because of relationship problems, you are not alone.  It is so painful to carry this burden, and it can effect your mood, your physical health, your work, and even your children and other family members.  Things do not have to stay this way.

Through marriage counseling, you can re-establish the emotional connection that you are longing for, and create a secure, loving, intimate and fulfilling relationship.  You can regain trust and become best friends again.  You can laugh and play and rediscover true affection.  You can invigorate your sex life.  You can learn to communicate effectively about even difficult things, and make up quickly should there be a disagreement.  You can heal from past infidelity and bring closure to the painful issues of the past.  You can relax and stop worrying.  And you may discover that you are closer and happier and more emotionally intimate than you ever dreamed possible.

Now is the time to reach for help.  Most couples wait five years too long before seeking counseling, years of unnecessary pain and suffering.  As an experienced couples therapist with advanced training in cutting edge therapeutic techniques, I can help.   Give me a call at 732-936-1212 to discuss your specific situation and how we might work together.  Or use the email link on this page to send  me a direct, confidential message.  Create the marriage you really want!

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY:
In addition to working with couples, I have extensive post-doctoral training and experience in working with the full range of emotional issues, addictions and trauma disorders.  I have helped hundreds of people address problems with depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, grief and loss, separation and divorce adjustment, parenting concerns, alcohol and drug addictions, sex and pornography addictions, codependency and co-addiction, 12-step recovery support, sexual, physical and emotional trauma recovery, and general emotional adjustment difficulties.

My approach is gentle but tough when necessary, dynamic, supportive and emotionally focused.  I offer warm, compassionate, caring individualized attention in an atmosphere of safety, privacy and acceptance.

If it's not getting any better and you're ready to take the first step to changing your life, give me a call at 732-936-1212.  Let's talk it over.  Or use the link on this page to send me a direct, confidential email.  Together we can figure out how to get you moving in the right direction.  Create the life you really want!
