It is my pleasure and privilege to work with individuals, couples and families in my Ridgewood private practice. Since receiving my Ph.D. in 1998, I have had the opportunity to offer psychotherapy to late teens and adults who are struggling with issues related to mood, anxiety, body image, self worth and relationships. I take a highly interactive approach to treatment, engaging with my patients as they explore the obstacles to their optimal spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being. Our goal, working together, is to turn those obstacles into opportunities for openness and integrity in personal and relationship issues.
My current approach to psychotherapy integrates knowledge I acquired from my traditional psychodynamic training, with wisdom I have acquired in more than a decade of practicing yoga and meditation. I focus on the potential of the individual, couple or family, encouraging them to view challenges as opportunities for needed change.
As a clinical psychologist, registered yoga instructor, and former attorney, I bring a unique combination of life experience, clinical judgment and spiritual awareness to my work. I consider it a great privilege to assist others as they move through difficult times or find deeper connections to themselves and to others.
