Together we'll set goals, allowing us to resolve and release trauma by increasing awareness of how the body holds it ( somatic skills) .
Are you a woman or part of a couple struggling with the deep impact of trauma, anxiety, or relationship stress? Do you hear that voice saying, "I'm not good enough; I don’t deserve happiness"?
I want you to know those ingrained beliefs aren't facts! They are coping mechanisms that are now keeping you stuck. They're often just patterns learned in old relationships. I help women and couples move past habits like shutting down, blaming, using anger, or loss of self, towards safe attachment and acceptance within. You have untapped inner strengths, and you absolutely can go from just coping to thriving and living a full-hearted life.

We will explore where deep healing is needed, which will be facilitated through tools from IFS, Somatic, CBT, or plain old talk therapy, dependent on what is needed and what you are ready for.

I am Here to Help You Feel Less Overwhelmed, More Clear, and More Like Yourself Again.
Many people I work with describe overthinking, people pleasing, striving, feeling pressure to be “good enough,” or caught in patterns that leave you emotionally exhausted even when life looks okay from the outside.

Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, caring people who want to grow, but feel held back by shame, fear, or old emotional patterns that keep showing up no matter how much insight they have. They don’t just want coping skills, they want real, lasting change and to feel more at ease being themselves. In therapy, we focus on creating safety and compassion so you can gently explore what’s underneath these patterns and begin to heal at a deeper level.

If you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions, I’m here to help. As a therapist practicing in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a research-backed method that’s been shown to offer faster, longer-lasting relief than traditional talk therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck in the past, battling constant worry, or struggling with intense memories or emotional triggers, EMDR can help you find peace and regain control over your life. I also offer clinical assessments to determine eligibility for ESA and FMLA accommodations.

You may look fine on paper and still feel unheard — in your relationships, in your family, in your own head. Maybe you have learned to accommodate, manage, and stay quiet, and now you are not sure what you actually want. Before becoming a therapist I spent years as a professional opera singer, which taught me to listen for what is not being said. Together we trace the patterns underneath the stuckness, often rooted in early relationships, so you can speak honestly, stay close to people without losing yourself, and feel like the author of your life. You set the tempo. I go at a pace that feels safe, and I do not judge what surfaces.

I have a particular interest in working with people navigating trauma, grief, infertility, caregiver fatigue, and the pressures of a demanding career. These experiences can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and at times frightening, leaving you disconnected from yourself, your loved ones, or simply exhausted from carrying so much for others. Our sessions can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and feel supported without judgment. Together, we’ll move through emotions that have long felt too heavy or unsafe to face alone and learn to use those emotions as meaningful signals to better understand your needs.

Together, we explore the resources that will allow them to heal, change and grow. During the 30 years I have practiced psychotherapy, from a systemic or holistic perspective, I have assisted individuals, parents, couples, adolescents and caregivers to see and experience their lives differently.

My work draws from psychodynamic psychotherapy, and an eclectic mix of traditions, including mindfulness, somatic experiencing, interpersonal and relational.
I treat individuals, couples, and families, spanning from childhood through adulthood. Therapy can be useful when we are experiencing life as painful, confusing or challenging, no matter the reason. Many live with feelings of sadness, loss, disorientation, isolation and diminished self-worth. Exploring those feelings and troubling symptoms in a safe environment with a caring, experienced professional, can serve to motivate us to identify patterns that stand in our way, be curious about and understand ourselves, all of which can lead to making meaningful and needed changes.

From a young age, we begin crafting the stories we live by—shaped by the people, places, and patterns around us. I believe healing begins when we’re given space to return to those stories with curiosity, safety, and the freedom to rewrite them in ways that feel more expansive. I work with children, adults, and new parents, and I’m especially passionate about supporting children and adults who have felt “othered” in their environment.

True well-being comes from caring for our mental, emotional, and physical health in an integrated and intentional way. Many of the difficulties we experience—such as anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm—are often rooted in patterns shaped by earlier life experiences, even when we’re not consciously aware of them. My work takes a holistic approach, integrating mind, body, and spirit to support deep and meaningful healing. Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and amygdala depotentiation techniques, I help patients compassionately explore and gently shift the unconscious patterns that may be holding them back.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and trauma-informed, rooted in the belief that healing looks different for everyone. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you.

Somatic Therapists
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
