  • Psychologist
    New Jersey

In my practice, I work with patients struggling with a variety of life events and stressors.  I treat adolescents and teens with a range of presenting problems including behavioral concerns, peer conflict, family conflict, attention and academic difficulties.  Additionally, I have extensive experience in working with tweens, teens, and emerging and young adults, struggling with stage-of-life transitions, depression, and anxiety.  Furthermore, I have expertise in providing therapy to couples as well as families who are struggling in their relationships and interactions, with issues such as communication, and difficulty adjusting to changes in roles.  I am currently meeting with patients exclusively via teletherapy. 

I typically practice from an insight-oriented framework and focus on one’s interpersonal interactions and relationships.  I aim to provide a trusting and nurturing environment, in which you can feel safe and comfortable to explore and process difficult thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
