Are you exhausted from running on empty and tired of repeating the same relationship patterns?
You are a high-performing adult who looks like you have it all together on the outside, but underneath the surface, you are running on fumes. Whether it is the suffocating weight of professional burnout or the painful ache of attachment injuries, you find yourself stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. You might notice you are constantly on edge, overthinking every interaction, or feeling deeply disconnected from the people you love most. Your relationships feel like a tightrope of anxious tension, where old wounds and recurring arguments keep you from feeling truly safe, seen, and secure.
You don’t need to just "manage" your symptoms or spend years analyzing them in traditional talk therapy. True relief comes from getting to the root of the trauma. My practice blends attachment theory and relational counseling with specialized, active treatment options designed to help you process past injuries, regulate your nervous system, and build secure connections. Together, we can find your way back to balance through flexible formats tailored to your life.
If this sounds like where you are right now, let's talk.
We will approach your healing through two distinct, specialized lenses tailored to your life:
Relational & Attachment Therapy
This focuses on the deep-rooted patterns holding you back. If you are struggling with the lingering effects of childhood trauma, trapped in people-pleasing habits, or navigating relational life transitions like marriage or parenthood, we look at the core blueprint of how you connect. Through specialized individual counseling & targeted couples therapy, we mend relationship injuries, bridge communication gaps, & help you establish authentic emotional safety.
Anxiety, Stress, and Burnout
This addresses how chronic pressure manifests in your daily life. Tailored specifically for individuals navigating high-pressure careers and major life transitions, we target the unique anxiety, relentless perfectionism, & physical exhaustion that comes with a fast-paced routine. Using active, efficient modalities like EMDR therapy, accelerated EMDR intensives, & outdoor walk-and-talk therapy, we provide targeted, efficient tools to help your body release deep-rooted stress & find its way back to balance.
Therapy Services Tailored to You
Individual Therapy
A gentle, dedicated space for you to explore your personal growth and find relief from the patterns that hold you back.

EMDR Therapy in Jersey City and Hoboken
How EMDR Supports Healing from Trauma and Anxiety
When distressing experiences get stored in the body, it's common to feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, I offer EMDR therapy in Jersey City and Hoboken to provide a safe space to unlock those memories and accelerate your natural healing process. Through guided bilateral stimulation, we help you replace negative self-beliefs with empowering perspectives, fostering lasting emotional wellness and mental resilience.
EMDR Intensives IN JERSEY City and Hoboken
Accelerated Healing for Burnout & Attachment Wounds
Traditional weekly therapy is highly effective, but busy schedules or acute distress often require a more focused approach. My specialized EMDR intensives provide an accelerated path to healing, compressing weeks of traditional therapy into a multi-hour, focused block completed in a single day. By clearing away the administrative noise of your weekly calendar, we create the dedicated space your nervous system needs to rapidly process deep-rooted trauma.
This format is uniquely designed to bridge the gap between your daily symptoms and their root causes:
-
For Chronic Burnout: Instead of just talking about stress management, we use EMDR to target the underlying beliefs driving your perfectionism, boundary challenges, and relentless exhaustion, resetting your nervous system from the inside out.
-
For Attachment Injuries: We safely dive into the childhood blueprints and past relationship injuries that fuel your present-day anxious overthinking or avoidant patterns, fast-tracking your transition into secure, authentic connection.
