Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Red Bank, NJ
You’re overwhelmed. Your mind races, toggling between to-do lists, taking note of what still needs to get done. You agonize over whether or not what you said or did was good enough. You desperately want to say no to the next request, to cut yourself some slack but haven’t the slightest clue how. The idea terrifies you. What will others think? So instead, to quiet the internal chaos you over do it on whatever takes your mind anywhere but here – food, alcohol, work, TV, shopping, social media, sleep, exercise, etc.

I am a Certified Family Trauma Professional, and I hold certification hours in Postpartum, Sand Play, Domestic Violence, and Trauma.
As a Creative Arts Therapist I work toward fostering an atmosphere of relaxation, while inspiring communication through creativity. I work within numerous settings and populations including Monmouth Medical Center's In-patient Behavioral Health Hospital, servicing children and adults, MMC's Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder Outreach Program, Bristol Myers-Squibb Children's Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson, New Brunswick, and The PALS program at the YWCA Union County servicing victims of domestic violence.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

I am trained in trauma informed care and certified in EMDR.
Now that all of that is out of the way – I still trust that above all, it is loving, connected relationships that are greatest agents to transforming the human spirit because we are truly not meant to walk this earth alone. Through mutuality and togetherness we will dive deep into the waters together (I am all for out of the box therapy)!

I help clients learn techniques to reduce unpleasant reactions related to trauma and other life stressors while increasing self-awareness and self-acceptance within.
Welcome- I'm glad you're here. I work with adults that have been in therapy before and are at a place in their healing where a part of them feels they have "talked it out". They realize they need more than traditional talk therapy and are open to exploring ways to integrate the body into their healing journey. Many of the adults I work with are drawn to discovering a peace and harmony within. If you are someone that notices you may be carrying some unresolved emotional pain or 'blocks' in your healing journey, then integrating the body into your therapy may be a path for you to consider.

Often people struggle with anxiety, depression, unresolved issues, relationship problems, trauma, anger outbursts, addiction, and overwhelming stress.
My specialty is trauma because it is often the source of the issues. Trauma has many sources: childhood, an event, witnessing a terrible event, relentless news catastrophizing 24-7, the pandemic, especially medical and mental health professionals, first responders, bullying, domestic violence, and grief, to name a few. Trauma is usually behind addiction

You want so badly to get to a better place, and you have been trying so hard. You are learning to your despair that you can not just will yourself into calmer emotions, inner peace or will yourself out of the never ending cycle of numbing behaviors. Maybe you’ve taken to spending hours daily watching tv, scrolling on your phone or sleeping away the ache inside. Maybe your energy is expelled outwards as you push people away or frantically hold onto relationships that are no longer healthy. Maybe you find yourself in an endless cycle, pursuing shopping, sex or drugs to quiet the storm within. The good news is that there is a way out.
