I am a family, couples, adolescent and teen counselor licensed in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience working as a clinical social worker/counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, self harm OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client strength and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I can’t say enough good things about my therapist. She’s compassionate, insightful, and truly has a gift for helping me see things more clearly. She creates a space that feels safe, judgment-free, and supportive, while also gently challenging me to grow. I always leave our sessions feeling understood, grounded, and empowered. She’s been such an important part of my healing and personal growth—I’m incredibly grateful for her.

Judy has been a great resource for me over that last few years. This is the longest I've ever maintained attending therapy. It's a privilege to be able to focus on maintenance work with her but also always have her there for the ever evolving changes in life.

Judy is the most effective therapist I've ever experienced. She is remarkably approachable and readily adapts herself to my situation and concerns. I find her to be a very good foil for my overthinking and negativity. She helps me energize my optimism and balance my skeptical negativity.

My first time seeking a therapist for better help I was very nervous of what the outcome would be meeting with Judy. When I met Judy I felt the total opposite. I completely open up like I never have been able to before. Judy is welcoming & truly takes the time to listen to you . She made me see apart of myself that i lost sight in seeing & I enjoyed her help throughout my journey in therapy . I know who to go to when I need true advice & someone to listen. Thanks Judy !!
