"Trauma creates change you don't choose.
Healing creates change you do choose." - Michelle Rosenthal
Psychotherapy Services
Trauma treatment
I specialize in treating trauma using the latest research in the field of neurobiology and a myriad of treatment modalities which I tailor to the individual's needs and history of traumatic experiences. I am a certified EMDR therapist and provide specific therapy to address trauma. EMDR is an empirically based approach that believes past emotionally-charged experiences influence present emotions, sensations and thoughts.
Specific traumas treated: childhood physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, chronic illness, bullying, grief and loss, and traumatic birth.. Click here to learn more about EMDR
Pregnancy, Postpartum and Parenthood
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist, I know that for all involved, emotional wellness during pregnancy and postpartum is extremely important. Having a new baby can cause overwhelming stress and shifts in the family and partner dynamic. Addressing these issues head on can make for a more supportive and present focused family. I also offer workshops and expectant and new parent support groups at Montclair B.A.B.Y. Montclair B.A.B.Y website

Infertility
Approximately 15% of couples face infertility.
Managing the emotional, physical, and spiritual distress of infertility can be filled with worry, sadness and loss. I work with individuals and couples in all stages of their infertility journey. Those who may be preparing for or undergoing Assisted-Reproductive Treatment (IUI, IVF), third party reproduction (sperm/egg donors), surrogacy, pregnancy loss, and the potential loss of reaching their family goals.

Couples Therapy
Relationships can bring us joy and connection as well as hurt and loneliness. I focus on helping identify negative patterns in the relationship which inadvertently cause emotional distance between the couple and can end with frustration, criticism and disconnection This might look like resentment due to inequalities in the household division of labor and childcare. It might be disagreement in parenting strategies. My role is to help the couple take steps to restructure the bond and connect through the understanding of emotional cues, vulnerability and expression of needs. Click here to learn more about EFT
