I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Maplewood, New Jersey. For over 20 years, I have provided individual, family and couples therapy. My expertise includes:
Adjustment disorders
Addiction (including gambling and hoarding)
Substance abuse (including opioids)
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma
Parenting issues
Relationship concerns
When working with families, I address systems, executive functioning and relationships while providing solution focused strategies and coping skills. I work with medical, psychiatric and other providers to provide an interdisciplinary approach.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Initial Consultation, Fee, and Insurance
An initial consultation (free of charge) is a time to discuss what is bringing you into therapy, how we can work together and the logistics of scheduling.
My fee is $195 per session for 60 minutes. I currently accept Aetna insurance and am an out-of-network provider for all insurances. I can provide receipts for insurance reimbursement.
About Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people's difficulties and thus, change the way they feel, cope and solve problems.
About Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a directive, patient-centered counseling style that aims to help patients explore and resolve their ambivalence about behavior change and overcome resistance.
