NEW JERSEY LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR

For over a decade, I have provided relationship counseling to hundreds of New Jersey individuals and couples with many concerns and struggles. I have helped them restore their love for one another.

My innovative approach to resolving pain-filled relationships has proven effective. Occasionally, couples come to me with a relationship in tatters, hanging by a thread. And I've helped many of those relationships turn around and heal.

As a result, I have become New Jersey's most trusted source for relationship restoration and care. My private practice is exclusively devoted to couples' care and recovery from narcissistic abuse and infidelity.

If you've come here in relationship pain, I can help. There's no need to suffer. Reach out, and let's get started.

I understand that starting therapy can be a bit daunting.  To ease your mind just call or email. I'm here and ready to listen and help. Explore my approach to counseling by clicking the button below.

MY APPROACH TO COUNSELING

Couple counseling and affair recovery are Open Door Therapy’s cornerstone services. Care begins with the premise that the foundation of a secure relationship encompasses trust, safety, and emotional responsiveness. Compromising these elements leads to pain and heartache. Finding your way back can feel daunting. Whether you have a few issues to sort out, are in a relationship crisis, or have a complicated matter, you’ve come to the right place.

INTERVIEW WITH JERSEY INDIE

Therapy is for anyone in emotional pain. Infidelity brings pain and heartache to all involved parties. Open Door Therapy now offers expert counseling services for affair partners.

The affair triad poses unique challenges, resulting in all parties feeling anxious, insecure, and unsettled. Are you involved with a married or committed person? If so, we can help. All those involved in this challenging relationship predicament can benefit from our experience.

Our Practice Specialties

01

Couple Counseling

Open Door Therapy is devoted to the romantic relationship and couples care. I use the latest research to help couples with warmth and compassion. With over a decade of experience, we're confident in supporting and guiding couples to repair and restore their most important relationship.

02

Infidelity Recovery

Affair recovery counseling is our primary specialization. Infidelity is a complex relationship trauma that provokes powerful, fluctuating emotions and puts the relationship's future at risk. Therefore, recovery requires a skilled clinician adept at working with the layers of challenges inherent in affair recovery.

03

Affair Partner Counseling

Counseling services for the affair partner - a person involved with a married or committed person - are now available. We understand the complicated, painful and multi-layered nature of the affair triad. All parties participating in the affair triad are compromised in their relationships as each party hurts. Open Door Therapy is now offering expert guidance for those who find themselves involved with a person in a committed relationship or marriage.

04

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

I provide guidance to individuals to identify if they are in a relationship with an emotionally abusive narcissist. I help them break free from the abuse, and help them heal and stabilize after the relationship's ending. Recovering from narcissistic abuse is difficult, painful, and challenging. Breakups with narcissists are uniquely challenging and can leave you confused and traumatized.  

 

HELP FOR COUPLES IN RELATIONSHIP PAIN

You may be wondering, "Can she help?" My success in helping couples repair their relationship begins with relationshipbasics of trust and emotional safety. When trust and safety are solid, intimacy ensues and a bond forms. A strongly bonded pair has a dependable, durable, stable, and functional relationship. Conversely, a relationship weakens when the intimate bond declines. I can help you and your partner repair and deepen your bond for more closeness and deeper intimacy.

My area of expertise is helping distant, painful, confusing and complicated relationships progress to one that is stable, satisfying and fulfilling. Let's get started.
