Hi! I'm a bilingual EMDR and trauma therapist in New Jersey. If you are reading this and your world has been feeling heavy lately in more ways than one, you are not alone.
The teen years and early adulthood can be some of the hardest seasons to move through, especially when trauma is part of the picture. I specialize in working with both teens (12+) and adults healing from long-held trauma. I support clients carrying childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, or grief, often quietly and for a long time.
In our work together, you don't have to have it all figured out, or even know where to start. You can show up exactly as you are and we will work at a pace that feels safe for you. For teens, that often means making sense of anger, shutdown, perfectionism, or feeling disconnected from the people who care about you. For adults, it might mean finally putting words to things you've been carrying alone for years. Our work together will address patterns such as: people-pleasing, shutting down, fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting, or feeling like "too much" or "not enough" in your relationships.
I draw from EMDR, DBT, and somatic and body-based practices. EMDR can help you process traumatic experiences in a way you may not have before: gently reconnecting your mind and body so what's been stuck has somewhere to go. DBT offers practical skills for navigating big emotions and staying grounded when things feel overwhelming. And because trauma so often lives in the body, I bring breath, movement, and the embodied awareness from my training as a certified children's yoga teacher into our sessions. Clients describe me as warm, supportive, and direct when needed. In our work, I hold space for what hurts while helping you feel more grounded, more connected, and more like yourself again.
If this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. I see clients in-person in Springfield and virtually throughout New Jersey via secure telehealth. I'm currently welcoming new clients. Book a free consultation, and let's see if we're a good fit.
