Find a Therapist in Rumson, NJ

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs.

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.

I commend you on taking the first step, but anxiety, depression, feeling lost and out of control are not states you need to endure. I am passionate about helping others build tools and develop the skills they need to find relief and gain the confidence to navigate through life's rough times. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the goal is to achieve empowerment to work through any current issues while gaining the ability to handle future ones. It is not about controlling the waves, it's about learning to surf them.

I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship stress. Many are used to handling things on their own but reach a point where they want clarity and change. Together, we identify patterns, improve communication, and build practical tools to help you feel more in control and move forward with confidence. I combine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a person-centered approach to help you understand your thoughts, manage emotions, and create real-life change. Sessions are supportive, practical, and focused on giving you tools you can actually use outside of therapy. Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, but you don’t have to figure everything out alone. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, understood, and in control, this can be a good place to start.

From a heartfelt place, I mirror back each person's beauty and potential. With intention, attention, skill and humor, I facilitate the process that allows each person to become more of her/his authentic self and to manifest that self into the world.

My passion for helping others heal is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a thorough understanding of the complexity of trauma. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who have experienced the profound impact of complex PTSD, also known as developmental or relational trauma, on their emotional and psychological well-being and relationships. The effects of cPTSD can leave you feeling unsafe, disconnected, powerless, ashamed, defective, and overwhelmed. You may also find yourself engaging in self-abandoning behavior, experiencing emotional flashbacks, or struggling to overcome your harsh inner critic, toxic shame, and guilt. As your therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for you to heal and grow. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, integrating evidence-based techniques such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to help you break free from the cycle of trauma and build the skills you need to thrive. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, my ultimate goal is to empower you to reclaim your life, heal from the past, and create a fulfilling future where you can experience meaningful connections with yourself and others. Whether you're struggling to navigate the challenges of a relationship as a complex trauma survivor, or working to heal on your own, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I believe that healing from complex trauma is possible, no matter what you've been through. Together, we'll work to break free from the cycle of pain and create a fulfilling, meaningful life full of connection, joy, and authenticity. Whether you're struggling with patterns of self-sabotage, difficulty trusting others, or simply feeling stuck in your past experiences, I'm here to provide the support and resources you need to make real progress toward healing and growth.
