Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey. I have a doctorate degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health with a specialization in Education and Counseling Psychology. The primary focus of my practice is to help my clients to reach their potentials. I have been privileged to work in the helping profession for the past fifteen years. I believe that the entire process begins by identifying those stumbling blocks in the lives of the individuals that prevented them from achieving their desired goals. I maintain a high level of openness with my clients having realized over the year that what matters most in therapy is the client /therapist relationship. I truly believe that it is the relationship that heals. My practice incorporates the client-centered, non-directive approach, the cognitive behavior approach and the eclectic approach. This is important to me because every individual is unique and should be treated as an individual by entering into each clients own world. The use of compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard are the core elements of treatment in my practice. I specialize in psychotherapy with individuals of all ages with various mental health diagnoses and behavioral issues. I have extensive experience working with families and children and I also have a great interest in community development. Additionally, I run Anger management courses, Parenting courses and Coping skills courses for interested individuals and also for those who are mandated by the legal system to do so. I look forward to working with you.

Are you looking for a male therapist who has experience working with children, adolescents and adults? Are you looking for someone who can help you achieve your goals in a fun and non judgmental environment? Then I am your man. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who started his mental health career in 2013. I have many years experience working with individual adults, families, and couples. I enjoy helping individuals discover their hidden strengths as they work towards personal growth. When working with couples I focus a great deal on communication and really hearing what your partner is saying. When working with children and teens I work hard to find the individual talents, strengths and interests of each of my youth, to make individual plans and sessions tailored for their unique goals. I am also understanding that the youth I work with do not operate in isolation, and incorporate caregivers in all treatment plans, while also assisting them with the tools necessary for sustained progress.

I also spent six years living in Colombia working with intercultural heterosexual and gay couples, as well as US expats and volunteers orientating to life abroad. My counseling style is laid back and interactive. My humanistic theoretical framework for therapy is shaped by Adlerian psychology, which is one of growth and social interest. I also work with solution-focused and developmental approaches to meet your individual needs. Alfred Adler believed that mentally healthy people strive to master their basic life tasks that represent the challenges of work, friendship, love/intimacy. Your motivation to seek therapy demonstrates it. Count on my support and empowerment when you are ready to take that step. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey with over 25 years of professional work experience in the field of mental health. I began my counseling career specializing in the field of substance abuse, working with adults, teens, and families in both in-patient and out-patient settings. From there I developed a thriving private practice, treating individuals, couples, families, and groups for: • Addictions • Anxiety • Depression • Grief • PTSD • And more I always bring respect, compassion, and integrity into my work, creating a safe and nurturing environment which allows healing and transformation to unfold. The purpose of my work is to empower individuals to reach their highest potential as human beings. Various treatment modalities are incorporated, providing an integrated approach designed to heal a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. Full wellness cannot be achieved unless these three areas — body, mind, and spirit — are in balance. I recognize that unique internal and external circumstances are presented by everyone I work with, and by doing so, I treat whomever I am working with, rather than the “dis-ease”. I do not believe that one size fits all. I work with clients by promoting a lifestyle of balance. Addictions, anxiety, and depression are common symptoms of imbalance. These symptoms are addressed in much the same way that light is brought into a dark room. While darkness cannot be physically removed, in the presence of light, darkness vanishes. Likewise, in the presence of a harmonious lifestyle, imbalance simply disappears. Treatment modalities I utilize include, but are not limited to: Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy Abraham Lincoln said, “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” It is true that our thinking creates our reality. We may not be able to control external events, but we can control how we perceive them. Cognitive/Behavioral therapy empowers individuals to control their thoughts and behaviors, rather than letting their thoughts and behaviors control them. Twelve Step Programs Twelve step programs are spiritual programs of recovery designed to empower individuals to overcome addictive behaviors. When indicated, twelve step principles are incorporated into the treatment I offer. Stress Management I teach stress management techniques such as body scanning, breath work, and mental imagery. These and other techniques empower those I work with to cope with stress and anxiety in healthful ways. Nutrition I emphasize the do’s and don’ts of a healing and healthful diet, always with the intent of promoting optimal well-being. Exercise Exercise helps to lower cholesterol and strengthen the cardiovascular system. In addition, exercise stimulates the release of hormones and neurotransmitters that make people feel good. Meditation Meditation is a way of connecting with that place inside that is happy, joyous, and free. Aromatherapy Aromatherapy harnesses the energy of essential oils, extremely powerful plant material, to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
