THERAPY FOR WOMEN · NORTHERN BERGEN COUNTY & THROUGHOUT NEW JERSEY
When life looks together,
but feels hard.
You may be capable and successful, yet privately struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or difficulties in your relationships. Overthinking and self-criticism can make things even harder. You’re tired of how hard things feel and want something to change.

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE
You’ve thought about it
from every angle.
You still feel stuck.
Sometimes there is a clear reason to seek therapy. Other times, it’s a familiar feeling or pattern you haven’t been able to understand or change on your own.
Anxiety & self-doubt
You replay conversations, question your decisions, or hold yourself to standards you would never expect of anyone else. Even when things go well, it can be hard to stop worrying or feel satisfied with yourself.
Relationships & family
You may feel responsible for other people’s feelings, struggle to set limits without guilt, or find yourself repeatedly hurt or angry in certain relationships.
Change & loss
Parenting, caregiving, grief, or a major life change can leave you feeling unsettled. You may be questioning what you need, what matters to you, or how you want your life to look.
These are some of the reasons people come to therapy. You may have a different concern, or just a sense that something isn’t right. You don’t need to have it figured out before we talk.
How I work
I’m warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded, with a thoughtful, direct approach. I listen closely, ask questions, and share what I’m noticing.
My training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis helps me notice connections that can be easy to miss and make sense of complicated thoughts and feelings. Together, we look at what is happening now and how familiar ways of responding may be contributing to what feels difficult. You may understand why a pattern keeps happening and still find yourself repeating it.
I think carefully about when to offer another perspective and when something needs more time. I bring honesty, curiosity, and a sense of humor, along with an interest in who you are and what you need from therapy.
What therapy can help with
Understanding why you respond as you do can give you more room to respond differently. Our work may help you:
Be less harsh and critical with yourself.
See your relationships and reactions more clearly.
Feel more confident in your decisions.
Feel less overwhelmed and more able to handle difficult moments.
What we focus on will depend on what brings you here and what becomes important as we work together.
“People often tell me I’ve put into words something they’ve felt for a long time but couldn’t quite explain.”
Janet Browner, LCSW, PsyA
Let’s see if we’re a good fit.
A free, 15-minute phone call gives us a chance to talk briefly about what brings you here, answer any initial questions, and get a sense of working together.
I offer telehealth throughout New Jersey. If you’re interested in meeting in person, we can talk about your needs and my availability at my Hillsdale office in Northern Bergen County.
