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: COVID-19, childhood physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, sexual assault, military trauma, intimate partner violence, chronic illness, bullying, grief and loss, traumatic birth, terrorism, and community violence. Click here to learn more about EMDR
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.

Pregnancy and Early Parenthood
As a Perinatal Mental Health Certified therapist, I know that 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 mom support groups at Montclair B.A.B.Y. Montclair B.A.B.Y website

Couples Therapy & EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy)
Relationships can bring us joy and connection as well as hurt and loneliness. As an EFT Therapist, I focus on helping identify negative patterns in the relationship which inadvertently cause emotional distance between the couple and end with frustration, resentment, criticism and disconnection 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.

Eating Disorders
As a Certified Eating Disorder Therapist, I understand that eating disorders have a biological, psychological and sociocultural component and can manifest as a way to manage underlying anxiety, depression, trauma and distressing emotions. Learning skills and finding healthier ways to cope and connect is key to disrupting the cycle of disordered eating. Click here for Eating Disorder resources
