anxiety therapy in ridgewood, nj
My Approach
You’ve tried everything you can think of to manage your anxiety, but nothing has changed.
You have tried talking to family or friends, reading self-help books, using meditation apps, or even quick fixes like binge-watching TV shows to escape your emotions
But you’re still feeling…
Frustrated by the struggle to cope with intense worry and the uncertainty it brings.
Disconnected from loved ones, making it challenging to fully engage in relationships.
Overwhelmed by racing thoughts that leave you feeling exhausted, on edge, and unable to focus.
Treatment
I use two therapeutic approaches with my clients: one helps you understand yourself better, while the other teaches you practical skills to handle stress. This dual strategy helps you explore how past experiences affect you today and gives you tools to manage stress in a healthier way.

DBT focuses on building skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
