My Specialties
As a Jungian analyst and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for individuals, couples, children, and families. My work centers on the healing power of dreams, the vocation of the Self, and the transformation of suffering into meaning.

• Relationship challenges and intimacy
• Child and adolescent psychotherapy
• Family dynamics and parenting
• Career transitions and vocational indecision
• Substance abuse and addiction
• LGBTQ+ affirming therapy
• Aging, death, and dying
• Creativity, spirituality, and life meaning
• Sandplay therapy
Jungian Approach
I help patients listen to their inner voice and discover the symbolic language of their dreams. Through dream journaling, active imagination, and vocational dreamwork, we explore the deeper patterns shaping your life. Whether you're facing a midlife crisis, struggling with emotional pain, or seeking clarity in your relationships, I offer a space for transformation.
Child & Family Psychotherapy
With over 30 years of experience working with children ages 4–12 and adolescents, I specialize in treating:
• PTSD, anxiety, and attachment trauma
• School and learning difficulties
• Nightmares, sleep issues, and oppositional behavior
• Adoption, divorce, and family transitions
I use sandplay therapy and a large selection of miniatures in my Montclair office to help children express and resolve emotional conflicts. Parents are always involved in the healing process.
Couples Therapy
I help couples improve communication, resolve conflict, and rediscover intimacy. My approach explores the emotional patterns rooted in family of origin and unconscious complexes. Together, we work toward mutual understanding and lasting connection.
Midlife & Vocational Transformation
Midlife often brings unexpected reversals, existential questions, and a call to deeper purpose. I specialize in helping individuals navigate this passage by:
• Interpreting vocational dreams
• Exploring synchronicity and symbolic life
• Shifting from career-orientation to vocation
• Reconnecting with the Self and sacred work
This is a time when the ego may surrender to the Self’s call, leading to creative renewal and emotional healing.
