Adult Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers a collaborative space to address a range of issues and make sense of your inner world, uncover unconscious patterns, find clarity and build lasting, desired change.

Below, I'll outline what it involves and what you can gain from it.

What Is Psychotherapy?

At its core, psychotherapy, sometimes referred to as “talk therapy”, is about speaking openly to gain clarity on your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This approach is not guided by homework assignments, directives, or advice-giving, and is not formulaic.

Think of talk therapy as a unique exploration designed to make sense of why you feel, think, or act in certain ways. You might discuss work stress, relational dynamics, past experiences, or anxieties that shape your present. The goal is often to reduce mental suffering, achieve greater self-awareness, and identify choices that align with how you’d like to live.

Unlike casual chats with friends, talk therapy is a dedicated, professional partnership. You'll do most of the sharing and work with your therapist to make sense of your problems as you carve your path forward. It is not a one-size-fits-all program, and the work you do will be shaped by the topics you bring in for discussion.

My approach is psychodynamic, meaning we work collaboratively to understand the patterns and experiences shaping your present life, rather than following a structured program or technique-driven format. I work particularly well with adults who are curious about themselves and motivated to engage in open, exploratory conversation.

Areas I commonly work with include anxiety and social concerns, depression and mood disorders, OCD, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties.

I offer in-person sessions at my downtown Jersey City office, three blocks from the Grove Street PATH station, and virtual sessions throughout New Jersey.
