Psychotherapy for Boys, Adolescents, and Adults in Westwood and Teaneck, New Jersey
Specializing in boys with behavioral problems and ADHD, and depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults.
A Practice Focused on Emotional Depth
I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults who need more than symptom management. My work focuses on understanding emotional life beneath behavior, helping people change in ways that last.
Who I Work With
Boys & Adolescents
Behavioral problems, ADHD, emotional regulation, anger, withdrawal, school and family struggles
Adults
Anxiety, depression, burnout, self-criticism, relationship patterns, and identity conflict
Families
Parents seeking deeper understanding of their children’s emotional world rather than quick fixes
Specialty: Boys with Behavioral Problems & ADHD
Many boys who struggle behaviorally are emotionally intense, sensitive, or overwhelmed rather than oppositional. ADHD often involves frustration, shame, and difficulty regulating emotions-not just attention.
Therapy offers boys a place to be understood rather than corrected, supporting emotional development, self-control, and confidence over time
A Depth-Oriented Approach
My work is psychodynamic and relational, grounded in an understanding of emotional development, personality, and unconscious patterns.
Rather than applying the same technique to everyone with the same diagnosis, treatment is shaped by how each person experiences emotions, relationships, and internal conflict.
Depth-Oriented Psychotherapy for Adults
Many adults come to therapy after realizing that insight and coping strategies alone are not enough. Depth-oriented psychotherapy explores recurring emotional patterns, relationship difficulties, and internal conflicts that shape daily life.
This work unfolds gradually, allowing for meaningful and lasting psychological change.
Family and Cultural Context
Many individuals and families I work with come from environments that emphasize achievement, responsibility, and emotional restraint. In these contexts, emotional struggles can feel confusing or difficult to acknowledge.
Therapy provides a space where emotional experience can be understood seriously and without judgement.
Location
My practice is located in Westwood and Teaneck, New Jersey, serving families and individuals throughout Bergen County, including Fort Lee, Englewood Cliffs, Cliffside Park, Leonia, Palisades Park, Tenafly, Closter, Cresskill, Demarest, Old Tappan, Ridgewood, and surrounding communities.
