Culturally Sensitive Therapists in 08033

New motherhood is, for many people, a time of joy. It can also be a time of stress and conflicting emotions. All of the expectations and pressure can be a lot to deal with. This especially true now during the COVID-19 pandemic! If you want to talk with someone who "gets it," if you or someone you care about are pregnant, have recently had a baby, or have older children and do not like the way you are feeling or just find that you would like some extra support, please give me a call! I also welcome clients dealing with issues not related to motherhood or parenting, such as stress, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.

Accepting New Daytime Clients - I have experience working with people who struggle with anxiety, panic, depression and Complex PTSD. I worked in community mental health for many years and was the coordinator of a family counseling program prior to transitioning to private practice. I have experience working with older teens (18yo-19yo) as well as adults in helping them through life transitions. I enjoy working with clients who are open to using mindfulness and yoga as therapeutic interventions. I was trained in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga which is an evidenced based treatment for Developmental Trauma and Complex PTSD.

I provide specialized support for individuals navigating the complexities of trauma, especially stemming from religious experiences or sexual assault. Religious or spiritual trauma often manifests in feelings of guilt, shame, and unworthiness, while sexual trauma can lead to profound emotional distress and challenges in relationships. My approach is designed to address these unique experiences, fostering healing, rebuilding trust, reclaiming agency, and promoting resilience. Together, we'll explore your emotions, reshape narratives, and create a path toward empowerment and self-discovery.

Psychotherapy can help you work through emotional issues, resolve relationship problems, improve your family life, and find more satisfaction in your work. Taking the time to explore the underlying reasons that contribute to your symptoms will help you work through emotional conflicts that are holding you back from having a balanced, fulfilling life.

You are holding it together on the outside, but inside you're teeming with so much worry that you can't sleep. All of the details you need to worry about are running through your head all day long. Some days you are running around getting everything done, and other days you're too exhausted to try to do anything. You can’t remember the last time something was actually fun. Your mind just keeps going a mile a minute, even when you are trying to relax. There are just always so many things to worry about. You just want a minute to breathe for once!
