Description
Life can be challenging, and navigating life after surviving trauma or during a major transition can be especially difficult. As women, we tend to internalize our struggles for the sake of caring for others, often putting our needs on the back burner. As a result, we leave ourselves vulnerable to these issues negatively impacting our lives in many ways, such as our physical health, emotional balance and our relationships with co-workers, intimate partners and even ourselves. My therapeutic approach is focused on empowering women and girls to overcome personal struggles and improve the quality of their lives, relationships and careers. I specialize in women's issues, adolescents, trauma recovery, sexual issues, spirituality & relationships. I also have significant experience in mood disorders and substance abuse/addiction. My therapy style is eclectic, and I often pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems and EMDR. Because trauma & life stressors impact us on many different levels, I also like to incorporate expressive and creative interventions in my practice, as needed. As such, my workspace is a blend of creative space for expressive arts activities and group sessions, and an office for individual talk therapy. I offer sessions to NJ residents both in office & online.
