I have a specialized background in working with the elderly, their caregivers, and individuals who are dealing with physical illness or disability, having worked in various hospitals, long-term care facilities and physical rehabilitation centers in both New York and New Jersey, throughout my career.
I have also spent much of my career helping people of all ages navigate the many stressors and struggles that can accompany some of life's most common transitions including leaving home, marriage, starting a new job, having & raising children, relationship stress, divorce, death of a loved one, job-change/retirement, and the challenges faced in attempting to balance multiple competing roles.
I have particular familiarity with the various challenges one faces when dealing with changing identities and roles, and the importance of the underlying sense of autonomy that comes with being the "master of one's ship" as opposed to feeling as if changes have been thrust upon you, whether by age, illness, or simply due to changes in life's circumstances.
I am able to provide a unique perspective in treatment, helping my clients move forward in satisfying ways, by drawing on my 20+ years of experience working with individuals throughout all phases of the lifespan, and having worked in both large-scale medical-academic facilities and intimate private practice settings in New York and New Jersey.
My practice centers around helping my clients gain a better understanding of the underlying and deeply personal thoughts, feelings, and guiding values, relational themes and patterns, and underlying drives that tend to motivate us and the decisions we make, often without our full realization. I offer a personalized collaborative approach to treatment that is tailored to the specific needs of each of my clients. I am adept at helping my clients and their families successfully navigate through the often confusing and overwhelming feelings that can accompany many of life's challenges. My goal is to help you cope with the stressors you are facing, and to gradually increase insight and understanding regarding them so that together, we may resolve your issues and identify possible avenues for growth and change.
If you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation, relief from on-going cycles which seem to keep you stuck in the same unfulfilling scenarios, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals.
