What makes your practice unique?
My practice is built on a deep commitment to understanding and supporting each client as an individual—not just as a set of symptoms. I take an empathetic, client-centered approach, ensuring that your treatment goals remain the focus of our work together. I believe that therapy should be both effective and empowering, helping you not only manage challenges like anxiety, OCD, and body-focused repetitive behaviors but also build resilience, self-esteem, and a greater sense of control over your life.
What sets my practice apart is my specialized focus on treating difficult-to-manage conditions—issues that many people struggle with but that have proven, evidence-based treatments.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other research-backed approaches, I provide practical coping strategies that can be implemented daily for symptom relief and long-term success. My goal isn’t just to reduce distress but to help you function better, feel good about yourself, and capitalize on your strengths so that you can live a more fulfilling life.
Who is a good fit for your practice?
My practice is a good fit for adults and teens in Bergen County, NJ who struggle with anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, trichotillomania, or skin picking and want structured, evidence-based treatment using CBT. Clients who do well here are motivated to learn practical skills and apply them between sessions.

What can I expect to get out of therapy?

Treatment plans are individualized and tailored to fit YOUR needs. You are a unique individual, therefore treatment is not “cookie cutter.” So the answer is, it really depends.

Most importantly, please know that you are always in the driver’s seat when it comes to therapy. We discuss what your goals are and we will do frequent check-ins to ensure that you are meeting your goals. Your progress is of utmost importance to me.
