I am a clinical psychologist with more than 30 years experience working with substance use and addictions issues as well as anxiety, depression and couples communication issues. My approach is respectful, empathetic and focuses on working toward goals you select for yourself. Harm reduction is key: 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
Insight Psychological Group (IPG) was founded in 2013 by Dr. David A. Helfgott based upon the simple premise: Psychotherapy is not purely a medical treatment; it is also an authentic human engagement. Dr. Helfgott's vision was to create a large group of compassionate, uniquely skilled, and committed therapists offering quality, impactful psychotherapy in a way that reaches individuals deeply and lastingly.
We all live in the same world, and we depend on each other. IPG therapists know well the challenges of the world we face, but they also know how to be patient and listen to your particular lived experience. Without any agenda, your therapist will follow your lead and use their wealth of training, experience and expertise to be most helpful to your situation.
We provide expert and compassionate psychotherapy that blends the best of heart and mind. We take pride in keeping current with cutting-edge professional psychotherapy techniques, but we know technical skill cannot work without a non-judgmental, compassionate connection between therapist and client.
At my practice, you can expect personalized and evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. With a solid foundation from the University of Pennsylvania and significant experience at Princeton Medical Center's Eating Disorder Unit, I offer expertise in treating complex mental health conditions. My commitment to compassionate care extends beyond the clinic through volunteer work with Camp Quality New Jersey. As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in New Jersey, I prioritize creating a warm and supportive environment for my patients. Contact me today to begin your journey towards improved mental well-being.

Welcome! I applaud your decision to improve the quality of your life. I look forward to meeting you and join in your journey towards healing and personal success. Together we will design a path to help you attain your personal goals and reach your life-long dreams.
We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.
