I’ve cycled trough therapists a lot, both in person and online, and so far he’s the only one I’d consider seeing long term. He assures me when I’m grounded in reality, but he challenges me when I say questionable things. I feel like I can truly project my inner monologue when I talk to him and his feedback and expertise have been extremely helpful. 10/10

I am a Ph.D., with a professional counselor license in New Jersey. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology in 2006 and have 25 years of professional work experience in private practice. I have lectured and presented at numerous trainings and state and local conferences in the areas of domestic violence, anger management, and stress, and have served on several committees and collaboratives in those areas. I have treated adolescents and adults in both individual and couple therapy experiencing a broad range of mental health difficulties. I have experience in helping clients with depression and mood disorders, stress and anxiety, personality issues, relationship difficulties, parenting, behavior modification, anger management, domestic violence, and motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
