Individual Therapy

I believe that each person’s healing journey is unique, and for this reason I integrate various evidence-based modalities into my practice in a trauma-informed way. As a foundation, I operate from a humanistic lens with a person-centered approach. During our time working together, we will utilize skills from practices such as:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy

  • Somatic Therapy

  • Inner Child Work

  • Mindfulness & Self-Compassion

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy

  • Polyvagal Theory

  • Skills from Cognitive Behavior Therapy & Dialectical Behavior Therapy

I offer telehealth sessions to anyone in the state of NJ, and can meet virtually via video call on a HIPAA compliant platform from the comfort and safety of your own home.

Individual counseling sessions are solely talk-therapy focused, and do not involve direct interaction with our horses.

Who I Work With

My clients are usually the sensitive and empathetic type that care deeply, and are carrying a lot more than they show.

Maybe you find that you just barely can put the mask on through the day and function in a way that seems somewhat “normal”. In reality, you feel like you’re on autopilot, checked-out a lot of the time, and edgy. By the end of the day you’re tired on a soul level that feels like sleep can’t fix, and it seems as though you don’t have the stamina to do the most “basic” things that other people do.

It feels like you’re on your last thread of energy. You’re trying to keep it all together. You don’t know how much longer you can function this way without losing it, or without your body crashing on you.

As a fellow sensitive, something that I have learned throughout my life’s journey is that our sensitivity is a strength. It is an important part of our being that brings more awareness and access to our body’s intelligence, and can help inform us of things our mind might not consciously notice. It’s also something that is innately developed, cannot be learned, and it is a big part of what makes us so unique.

I primarily help adult women across the lifespan (ages 22-65+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, trauma, interpersonal trauma and complex trauma.

My Clients Might…

  • Have a felt sense that they don’t belong, and often feel as though there is “something wrong with me.”

  • Don’t quite know exactly what they’re feeling, but they know something feels “off”.

  • Feel as though they don’t have the capacity to manage things like most people do.

  • Are “always on alert”, or feel numb, disconnected and shut down.

  • Have a history of trauma or interpersonal trauma and would like to heal from this.

  • Have difficulty relaxing and struggle to find an overall sense of calm.

  • Notice that they tend to minimize their own experiences and feelings.

  • Have grown up in family systems that felt harmful, invalidating, unsupportive and dismissive.

  • Tend to suppress their own feelings and needs, and would like to speak from a place of authenticity.

  • Find that they feel resentment bubbling up in their relationships and want to reduce this feeling.

  • Notice that they fall into “people pleasing”, or putting others’ needs before their own.

  • Struggle to set or maintain boundaries.

  • Have a harsh inner critic, and tend to lean toward perfectionism.

  • Struggle with low self-esteem, or feel as though they are “not good enough”.
