I have a knack for talking to teens, even those who didn't want therapy in the first place. That's because I'm fun to talk to and I really listen and understand.

I have helped adolescents tackle such problems as panic attacks, family fights, self cutting, depression, abuse recovery, sexual issues and peer conflict. I presented my expertise on "How to Engage the Difficult Teen" at a New Jersey Counseling Association Conference.

I also specialize in treating bipolar disorder. I have been giving lectures on the topic for years, and I'm the Professional Advisor for The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of Succasunna.

I welcome the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning population. I can help people come out to loved ones, deal with harassment or merely discuss relationships without having to change the pronoun.  I have advocated for transgender clients who have chosen to make transitions.

I have extensive training in expressive therapies such as play therapy and psychodrama.  It can be difficult to put certain feelings into words.  Writing, art, music and role playing can communicate the unspeakable. I use psychodramatic games in group therapy to encourage spontaneity and team building, and I created a group, SHOUT OUT!!! that focused on these games. 

In my own life, creative pursuits have been a huge source of satisfaction.  I have written articles and stories for publication and for self-expression, and I've acted in community theater at Pax Amicus Theater.  These activities have made my life rich.  Satisfaction can come from solving problems, and it can also come from creating a life that you love.
