Therapists in Jersey City, NJ

As a BIPOC Therapist, I strive to provide a decolonizing, holistic and culturally sensitive space in which an individual can find healing. I have significant experience working with individuals that have experienced family trauma and issues related to family of origin which are often impacted by Colonialism, Imperialism, and forced migration. My clients are those who need assistance in navigating the challenges of their lives as professionals, siblings, parents, friends or partners impacted by various oppressive systems.

Over the course of my career, I have learned ways to uniquely connect with individuals across the lifespan. Working with families, adults, and adolescents, has allowed for the curation of best practice approaches that resonate with the individuals who shared their experiences with me. With motivation and support individuals are encouraged to explore their narratives, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and embrace positive change, thereby embarking on a path to improved mental health and if applicable lasting recovery from addiction.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS-TELEHEALTH ONLY** Everyday, especially the past few years, we’re faced with challenges that sometimes leave us feeling an endless barrage of emotions. This can create challenges with functioning in our daily lives. Recognizing the need for support is the first step on your path to emotional wellness. Support can come from many different areas within your life, but sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone who can be objective and is not directly involved in your life. The goal in treatment is to increase your emotional well-being from a strength-based approach to support your path of personal growth.

A personal time of crisis is another person's opportunity, especially given the unprecedented circumstance we all find ourselves coping with. For many of us prior to this crisis/opportunity we were unable to give attention to our emotional world whether it be due to time, energy, fear and/or self-doubt. Therapy offers an avenue to get to know ourselves in a different way than experienced before. I deeply believe our current crisis can be an opportunity for many of us to be one notch better than before.

I focus on cognitive restructuring to challenge individuals and their thoughts about themselves and others so they can work towards reframing their faulty cognitions, thinking more positively and realistically, and reducing dysfunctional behaviors. In addition, the problem-solving technique helps clients address problems and unhealthy behaviors within the session and then eventually find healthy solutions. In sessions, modeling and role-playing will also be taught and practiced to encourage effective communication skills.

I view the process of psychotherapy as reparative and restorative. Working together, therapy provides an authentic human connection allowing for change to occur towards a healthy, balanced and genuine way of living. My training experiences has informed my therapeutic approach in that, the therapeutic process is safe, non-judgmental, empathic and respectful. I understand that people and life in general are complex and in therapy we will work together to determine the best approach for the our therapeutic process.

Our relationships determine so much of how we feel and experience life. Committed relationships whether a marriage, premarital, or partnership are constantly growing and changing. Most often, we get into a committed relationship with the hope of experiencing LOVE. In the beginning, we are full of joy and hope though we may have had doubts or fears. Intimate relationships are complicated and life circumstances complicate things even more. We are left to guess our way through it or leave it to chance. And it works as long as it works. Until you find yourself internally hurting and externally yelling...What Should You Do?

I pride myself on my ability to connect with clients and build a relationship that allows you to flourish by amplifying your innate strengths and eliminating barriers. In life, we often find ourselves continuously engaging in patterns that lead to stress, anxiety, uncertainty, low self-worth, and unproductivity. I am here to help recognize where these patterns come from and how we can move beyond. Let’s work together toward creating the life you’ve imagined. To name a few, I specialize in working with individuals affected by anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodevelopmental diagnoses.

My therapeutic approach involves, first and foremost, the development of a trusting relationship between myself and my clients. This is the foundation for the work that we will do together. We will work together to develop goals and a pathway to reach those goals. I employ an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities in order to individualize treatment for each client.

Do you feel confused, stuck, or overwhelmed by life? I welcome individuals, couples, and families to collaborate with me in exploring their purpose and finding peace in their daily lives and also resolution and acceptance of the past. My goal is to help my clients discover their inner strengths as they heal and transform their body, mind, and spirit.

Change is not easy, change is necessary, change is the key. Without change, all things remain the same. I will work collaboratively with you to facilitate this process of change and help you to reach your personal goals. I have more than 2 decades of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings. My philosophy is that good mental health only occurs within a cultural context. As an anti-oppressive therapist, I employ a strength-based culturally sensitive, and holistic approach that allows me to support you through conflict and change.

Welcome to my practice. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and help adults struggling with a variety of issues including anxiety, stress and life transitions, as well as those who are simply interested in self-exploration. No matter what brings you to pursue support at this time, I prioritize establishing a trusting, safe and respectful space in session and strive to help you get out of therapy whatever it is you are seeking from the experience.

I am an agender, queer, abolitionist therapist. I believe that transformation is possible for everyone, healing can begin anywhere, and that no one is disposable. Only practicing with clients in within (the colonial borders of) New Jersey. My approach is primarily informed by somatic practices for trauma healing. This means that we will work with your thoughts, emotions, memories, and physical form/sensations to release unprocessed stress and/or trauma.

I love connecting with teens, adults, and couples to overcome things like family conflict, relationship issues, academic and social challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and grief. With adults and teens, I draw on CBT and attachment techniques to strengthen connection and communication within families and to help clients gain insight, develop a healthy identity, and meet their goals. With couples, I use the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to resolving conflict, feeling understood, and increasing emotional connection.
