You function at a high level. You've built something real. And something is quietly wrong — and you're not going to talk to just anyone about it.
This practice serves men at every level — from the boardroom to the job site, from the uniform to the family dinner table. What they share is this: the willingness to govern themselves first.
"The world as it is, not as you wish it were — that is where power lives.
The obstacle is the way.
The man who cannot govern himself will always be governed by someone else."
I work with men who are ready to engage seriously with their psychological lives — not men looking for reassurance, scripts, or a place to vent. This is structured clinical work. It requires effort, honesty, and a willingness to tolerate discomfort in service of real change.
My approach integrates existential and depth psychology with Jungian frameworks, reality-based and solution-focused methods, and the direct application of Stoic philosophy as a practical psychological tool. Sessions are not passive. We identify what is actually happening beneath the surface, clarify responsibility, and build psychological agency where it has eroded.
This practice is a strong fit if you want depth, honesty, and direct engagement — not a clinician who mirrors your feelings back at you. I will tell you the truth. That is the service I provide.
I have been in private practice for 20 years. My training encompasses forensic psychology, addictions, crisis intervention, trauma, and executive consultation. I have worked in correctional facilities, hospital settings, university counseling centers, and high-stakes private contexts. I bring that full range to every session.
All services are private-pay and out-of-network. Superbills provided for insurance reimbursement. Telehealth available statewide in New Jersey.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 20 years of private practice experience in Pennington, New Jersey. I specialize in psychological care for men — men who are functioning at a high level externally and struggling significantly internally.
My clinical background is unusually broad. Before entering private practice, I worked in forensic settings — evaluating minors for the court, conducting psychological assessments in correctional facilities, and providing crisis intervention in acute psychiatric environments. I worked in addictions settings, university counseling, inpatient adolescent psychiatry, and school-based clinical programs. I held a faculty position at Rider University.
That range of experience shaped how I work. I am not a specialist in one modality or one population. I am a clinician who can hold complexity — who has worked with the full range of human psychological difficulty and who brings that experience into a private practice focused on helping men navigate their lives with greater clarity, agency, and psychological resilience.
I earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Immaculata University (APA-accredited, 2007), my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Assumption College (APA-accredited, 2000), and my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Literature from Rider University (1996). I was born and raised in New Jersey.
My practice is private pay and confidential by design. I work with men who take their inner lives seriously enough to invest in them.
Clinical perspectives on depression, anxiety, divorce, trauma, and the psychology of high-demand living. No jargon. No reassurance. Just useful information.
A 15-minute phone call. No in-person consultations. No forms until you decide to move forward. Just a direct conversation to determine if this is the right fit.
