Therapists in Glen Ridge, NJ

Relationships can be very challenging and complicated both with others and ourselves. If you find yourself in a place questioning repetitive thoughts or feeling emotions that may be roadblocks for personal growth, therapy is an opportunity for you to explore and grow both personally and interpersonally. We are all made up of many parts and often times we have some parts of us, such as an angry part or anxious part, that we feel defined by. Often times these parts unintentionally prevent us from living our truest selves. Working together we can try and understand your different parts and move at your own pace towards healing.

Your pain is not your destiny, but an invitation to turn towards and respect your deeper experience. Early wounds and trauma bind up our energy and cut off access to our aliveness. As an expert in soul loss, I can help you retrieve your energy, heal suffering and rewire old patterns, so you can more fully embody who you were meant to be. I use a mind-body approach (somatic experiencing/ gestalt) with a relational lens (psychodynamic/ Jungian) and energy healing. If you feel stuck after years of talk therapy, I can help. I see children, adolescents, adults, couples & families and I practice online in Manhattan and California.

You live in a quiet state of desperation. On paper your life looks really good. Others see you and think you have everything going for you. They want to be like you and think their life would be easier if they were. You are outgoing and wear a smile. But they don’t understand what they can’t see. They don’t see you. They don’t see the pain that you feel. You know that other people won’t understand. You learned a long time ago to hide it. Everyday you wake up and put on a mask. You push yourself harder to accomplish more. Yet you know that none of it will work.
