What sets us apart?

We are honest, transparent, and direct

We offer more than just empathy and validation. We will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, to face your challenges, and to be the best version of yourself. 

We provide feedback and share insight

We explore your background, core beliefs, and values to identify challenging areas and biases that might be holding you back.

If you are not making progress in therapy, we will explore all possible avenues to get you where you want to be.

We are passionate about counseling

We care about your progress and experience in therapy and will utilize all our knowledge and skills to make it worth your time and effort.  However, we count on YOU to be an active and motivated partner with us on this journey of self-discovery and self-improvement.

We adhere to ethical principles in our practice

Our goal is to empower you and promote self-agency. We strive to develop a collaborative therapeutic relationship where we can openly discuss your goals and check in about progress made. If necessary, we will provide appropriate referrals to other providers.

Our office is located in Lawlings Park office building, Wyckoff, NJ. Just off NJ-208, this location is within close proximity to Bergen, Passaic, and Rockland counties. Parking in the adjacent parking lot is free of charge and always available.
