Find a Therapist in Columbia, NJ

I am currently taking new patients who are experiencing problems with work, school and/or relationships that are due to obsessive and problematic usage of internet/computer/video games. Depression and anxiety are often associated with excessive use of these interactive technologies. Within the past seven years, I have seen a significant rise in my practice in people who have experienced major difficulties that have been rooted in spending too much time online, or excessively involved in one or more forms of interactive technology (i.e., computer/video games). For some, it has to do with excessive internet surfing. For others, it may involve multi-user online games (e.g., World of Warcraft, Call of Duty). A growing number of people have reported spending ("wasting") hours upon hours on blogs, watching Youtube vidoes, and on Facebook, Tumblr, and other social networking sites.

Trauma may have changed you in ways others can’t see—but it doesn’t define who you are. It can leave you feeling disconnected, confused, stuck, and unsure of yourself. It can ruin relationships, families and your sense of self. I have spent over a decade specializing in trauma as well as individuals in high risk professions such as health-care workers, first responder and Veterans. I know that healing is possible. If you're searching for trauma therapy near me or a PTSD specialist with advanced training, I can help. I am a clinical consultant and trainer in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), and I also offer EMDR to support nervous-system healing. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive, and trauma-informed. In therapy, we work together to understand how trauma has shaped your emotions, relationships, and nervous system. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and compassionate. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can rebuild trust in yourself, feel grounded again, and move toward the life you want.

I enjoy working with children and adolescents to establish a warm therapeutic relationship. My goal is for my clients to not just improve but to thrive so that they can grow and mature to be successful and productive members of society. I enjoy working with parents and teachers to help them better understand their children and students and to foster a more peaceful and productive home and classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband (also a psychologist!) and two young children. I also enjoy reading, exercise, and participating in community events.

Much of human suffering is about the way we experience things rather than the things themselves. Sometimes psychotherapy is about changing some events in our lives, but often it is about changing the experience rather than changing the things. Because all of the elements we need to achieve health and happiness are already within. and whether we change events or change the way we experience them, psychotherapy is always an act of courage.

My Approach to helping...

If you’re here, you’re likely feeling exhausted in a way rest alone doesn’t fix. You may appear high functioning on the outside, keeping up with work, family, and responsibilities, while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself. Many people I work with are navigating chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, trauma responses, or relationship strain and are realizing that “pushing through” is no longer sustainable. I specialize in working with adults who are insightful, capable, and often the ones others rely on, yet feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, emotional overload, people pleasing, or self criticism. My clients are often professionals, caregivers, and high achievers who seek more than just symptom relief. They want clarity, emotional regulation, healthier boundaries, and a deeper sense of alignment in their lives. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I show up as a real person and create a space where you feel safe, understood, and gently challenged. I am not a passive or distant therapist. I listen closely, ask meaningful questions, and help you slow down enough to understand your patterns, emotional responses, and the ways past experiences may still be shaping your present. In our work together, I integrate evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with relational and client centered care. Therapy with me focuses on increasing self awareness, improving emotional regulation, processing unresolved experiences, and developing practical tools you can use in everyday life. We move at a pace that feels supportive while still allowing for meaningful growth. Above all, I believe therapy is not about fixing you. It is about helping you feel safer within yourself, more connected to your needs, and more confident in how you show up in your relationships and life. If you are looking for online therapy to address anxiety, burnout, trauma, or life transitions, I would be honored to support you.

You deserve a life of happiness and health. Together we can understand your life, then craft a plan that addresses the source of your stress. Are you overwhelmed, or unsure how to achieve your goals? Therapy is a powerful tool that can resolve the difficulties you face. It strengthens coping skills and self-esteem.
