Welcome...
Choosing a therapist is the biggest step toward feeling better and making positive change in your life. Good therapy starts by helping you feel accepted, supported and heard. I understand that people want both relief and results. I use a short term model of therapy and provide meaningful, objective feedback to help you create the change you want. I offer highly specialized counseling services in a unique practice setting where your privacy is a priority. My sessions are one hour and your appointment time is reserved each week so that you come directly into my office at your designated time: no public waiting room, no loss of privacy. For more detailed information about the services I offer, please use the links above.
My Practice...
I work with Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), which is a specialized, highly effective form of psychotherapy created in the early 1980's by Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. Les Greenberg. EFT is a short term therapy, so unlike most forms of therapy, you will not need to be in counseling for years. EFT clients generally begin to notice changes after only a few sessions.
Whether you are seeking individual counseling, or if you want to work on your most important relationships through marriage counseling or family therapy, EFT can help you find the strengths inside of you to move toward your personal and relational goals. EFT is backed by over 20 years of research with unprecedented success rates. For couples, 85- 90% of couples completing EFT report significant improvement and 70-75% experience relationship recovery. EFT is part of the specialized relationship counseling program I offer for couples struggling with infertility, as well as couples starting their life together in premarital counseling. EFT is especially helpful for couples and families who have experienced trauma or loss. If you are a returning veteran from the conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan, I offer individual, couple or family therapy at no cost (follow the link above). EFT is finally available in Montclair New Jersey.
Emotion Focused Family Therapy - EFFT is also being studied in multiple research projects which demonstrate a high level of improvement in families where one or more members are struggling with depression & panic attacks, child conduct issues, step-family conflict, an eating disorder, loss and trauma.
I use this approach in individual counseling to help my clients explore the challenges that contribute to feelings of sadness, low motivation, confidence, worry and feeling overwhelmed. I believe that people have the answers inside of them. My role is to provide safe, collaborative therapeutic experience to help my clients explore the emotions that cause them pain and help them tap into their own unique strengths.
Fees & Insurance
Your health insurance may cover counseling services and fees in full or in part. I work with several insurance carriers.
About Me...
Specialized Training
I have had the privilege of training with award winning psychologist, Dr. Susan Johnson, creator of EFT and founder of the International Center for Excellence in Emotion Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). I completed my advanced EFT training, and continue to collaborate with George Faller, LMFT, Founder and Director of the NY Center for EFT.
I have completed several advanced programs at The Ackerman Institute for the Family (New York), The Minuchin Center for Marriage & Family Therapy (New York), and the Theraplay Institute (Chicago). I also believe that being a good therapist means having a balanced life. I am an avid practitioner of yoga and enjoy music and gardening.
