Therapists in Princeton, NJ

Courage. That is what I hear when I am contacted for consultation. We collaborate in a supportive environment to face challenges like being single (again), grief, strengthening a marriage, #MeToo, anxiety, codependency, impostor syndrome or burnout. Together, we understand and transform barriers that block you from what you want in life. I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma/neglect. I have experience working with people from a variety of ethnicities, religious/spiritual backgrounds and sexual orientations. We will mindfully, focus on the present and briefly visit the past when it is influencing the present.

I want you to have the best life imaginable: to live in a body that can feel what it feels and with a mind that can know what it knows. I believe we heal through connection and relationship; it is how we survive then thrive. Sometimes we need to make meaning of our experiences; sometimes we just want to manage or reduce unwanted symptoms and sometimes we need someone to simply be present- to sit and witness and listen or hold the silence. I hope you will find all these elements working with me and together we will walk the path to healing. Come in and let's explore together!

Finally deciding to seek out therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and even increase uncomfortable feelings. Finding the "right fit" with a therapist means taking emotional risks to get the support you deserve. For many years I have worked to help individuals regain or perhaps even discover for the first time, a sense of inner peace. My practice incorporates holistic, somatic & integrative approaches to treat a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe "theory" is invaluable, however, experience and research shows that successful therapy is closely connected to the relationship that develops between therapist and client.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” I believe that every individual has within themselves the resources they need to take actions towards creating the changes that will align with their values and purpose. Being a bicultural individual, I am able to see things from two different perspectives, which helps me remain open and adaptable to various personal values and ways of life. I pride myself on my ability to create a space where you would feel comfortable and understood to express your concerns and emotions freely.

Are you stressed-out, out-of-balance, overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you have a feeling that life is passing you by? Do you often feel so tired by bedtime but cannot sleep as racing thoughts run through your mind thinking about the "what ifs"?? Even when you get adequate sleep, you still drag the next day, consumed by worry, insecurities, and self-doubt? If this sounds like you, my holistic approach to psychotherapy will help you remove negative thought patterns, emotional blocks, and self-made limitations that may be holding you back from living your best life!

You're not too much. You deserve to take up space and have your needs met. Maybe you've learned to disconnect from your feelings and disregard your own needs filling everyone's cup but your own. You're left feeling empty, without energy or motivation to heal and fight for change. You want to make intentional changes that bring more joy, ease, and meaning but don't know where to start. You don't need to do this alone. Let's integrate your healing journey with anti-oppressive & anti-racist practices. We'll use creativity, curiosity, & connection to weave together your story, heal from trauma, & break cycles of oppression. You matter.

People see a therapist for many reasons. Some feel overwhelmed, sad, disconnected, angry, or confused; some seek guidance as they cope with traumatic events or navigate stressful transitions. Therapy offers opportunities to heal from trauma and loss, to deepen our self-understanding, and to grow in our capacity for authenticity and connection. It takes courage to reach out for support, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey.

I believe strongly in the resilience of people, and that a healthy therapeutic relationship can promote trust, healing, and personal growth. Learning to listen to yourself with the support of a trusting individual, can help you live a more fulfilling life. I believe everyone has innate strengths, giving them the ability to find solutions in areas of their life causing stress. I will support you, encourage you, and challenge you to achieve the goals you have by building a trusting environment and relationship in which you can feel safe to discover areas of yourself that are in need of healing and manageability.
