I have been working with individuals and couples at my private practice in Springfield, New Jersey since 1988.
As a seasoned psychologist, I have plenty of life experience that gives me perspective to enrich the work with each client. I am a warm individual who listens well and will bring an integrative knowledge base to your treatment. I incorporate psychodynamic, attachment theory, and interpersonal understanding to tailor my interventions.
I can address both personal functioning issues such as anxiety and depression as well as systemic problems in your family. I specialize in psychotherapy with adults presenting with anxiety, depression, bipolar illness, and personality difficulties. Another area of focus is grief work for losses recent or distant.
I graduated from Rutgers University Graduate School of Applied & Professional Psychology with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. I completed my Clinical Psychology Pre-doctoral Internship at The Psychiatric Institute at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.
Prior to my current private practice, I was a Treatment Team Leader on the inpatient psychiatric unit and Associate Director of Psychology at Fair Oaks Hospital in Summit, NJ. I have a supervising appointment at Rutgers University where I train Clinical Psychology graduate students in conducting psychotherapy with their clinc cases.
I am licensed to practice psychology in New Jersey, New York and California. I also have PSYPACT licensure that allows me to conduct telehealth in 40 states. I am a member of the American Psychological Association, the New Jersey Psychological Association and the National Register of Health Service Psychologists.
