We live our lives forward but we understand them backwards.

Psychotherapy Services
HACKETTSTOWN & MORRISTOWN, NJ
I offer single, double, or extended individual, marital or pre-marital sessions including half or full days, weekend marital intensives for couples; marriage education seminars for small or large groups, contemplative retreats focusing on grief, loss, or trauma; writing narrative workshops; extensive family of origin relational work, at either in-office or at an offsite rustic overnight retreat center including meals and overnight accommodations.
As a long-time therapist in the Hackettstown and Morristown communities of New Jersey, I am a compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable therapist who has effectively supported, treated, and encouraged many individuals, couples, and families over the years. I am here to help you work through whatever issues are standing in the way of where you would like to be within your Self, your life, and your relationships. Whatever concerns have disrupted a sense of continuity and wholeness for you, whether stemming from anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, infidelity, betrayal, divorce, parenting or any number of other issues, help and support is available in a non-pathologizing way. Opening yourself to this help is also strategic for your overall health. We are body, mind, and spirit. Research shows that physical health is bolstered and enhanced by our overall mental health. Together, we will work collaboratively toward self-understanding, connection, integration, and growth. We will mobilize innate strengths that are uniquely your own, even if obscure or hidden from you at this moment in time. These will help guide and lead you forward, toward new and expanded growth.
My practice is informed by training in a blend of family systems, experiential psychodynamic, and contemplative theories that values health and wellness over illness and cure. Our focus is on the here and now, with an understanding that early developmental experiences affect current feelings and behaviors that often block one’s movement toward health and wholeness.
