EMDR Therapists in New Jersey

Life can be busy and especially difficult when past experiences intrude on your present and hold you back. I specialize in helping women who have faced challenging life events, supporting them in restoring hope, strength, and resilience. As a mom and the spouse of a former first responder, I understand firsthand how unpredictable life can be. Utilizing my certifications in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Healing practices, I help you gain a sense of safety and control. Somatic Healing involves teaching movement and breath techniques to process issues that can be difficult to verbalize.

Starting therapy both a daunting and exciting process. I will create a safe environment where you can feel comfortable in moments of discomfort. I strongly believe the relationship between therapist and client is the primary factor to change and growth within the individual. I emphasize importance on past/current relationships, believing that we are impacted and molded by our relationships with others. I maintain a strengths-based/humanistic approach to psychotherapy, while using a number of clinical tools (EMDR, Hypnotherapy, EFT, & Meditation) to cope with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.

Healing and change come from awareness, understanding and self-compassion. Therapy will help deepen your understanding of what makes you who you are. This process is empowering and will be the driving force in making positive changes in your life. I have a rich clinical history working with children, adults and couples facing an array of challenges. With extensive experience treating trauma survivors I have been trained in EMDR and incorporate a mindfulness approach into my practice.

You ask yourself "why did I just say that?" It's hard to stop thinking about how you messed up a conversation, a task, or an assignment. People say, "you are too sensitive" when you share how you feel. Your family and culture are important to you but there is tension. You think about your past in negative ways and it's hard to focus on the present moment. It's hard to feel relaxed in your body. At times you feel restless and at other times you feel stiff and numb. Feeling balanced is tough.

I graduated from NYU in 1981 and have had a clinical practice in Social Work since 1986. My treatment approach is eclectic. However, I am a certified EMDR therapist, and that, along with, Supportive Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral techniques inform the manner in which I work with my clients. In my years of practice in the field, I have developed an honest respect for the therapy process and a confidence in the resiliency of the people that I have had the opportunity to work with.

I enjoy my work as a therapist. The cornerstone of my success is my ability to provide a safe environment, listen intently, and genuinely engage with the individuals and families that I meet. Perhaps you are on the precipice of change, and you just can't take the first step. Maybe you are taking inventory of your life, and you need guidance on how to sum up your past and learn how to make new decisions in this moment with your eyes wide open. Together, we can sort out the transition and help you move toward positive transformation.

My specialties are addiction, mood disorders, initial assessment of neurological issues, ADD, trauma resolution, and stress-related conditions. I use Naltrexone and injectable Vivitrol to completely control urges. Examples of people I have helped with E.M.D.R.: a 50-year-old woman whose father verbally abused her and her sibling. Within one session, her trauma ended. A middle-aged male sustained a coma and severe injuries in a car accident. He regained his mental acuity to a mild degree, to continue his life. HEADAPP has improved those with brain impairment issues including stroke and ‘brain fog” from COVID.

Help is just a walk and/or talk away. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults. Working in both an elementary and a high school supporting the mental health of children and adolescents has given me a unique perspective on that population and their families. I am dedicated to helping clients to deal with anxiety, social issues, depression, relationship issues, behavioral issues, trauma, and loss and grief by working together on a common goal.

The healing journey is always the most challenging, particularly when it involves recovering from trauma. Relational trauma often stems from being betrayed, rejected, or experiencing a hurtful relationship with caregivers during upbringing. This can trigger challenges in current relationships and impact self-esteem. These memories and painful experiences can create unpleasant feelings such as guilt and shame. They can form barriers to cultivating healthy relationships with our partners, widening the gap between us.

I believe that my work is in helping clients walk less blindly through life. I try to ask questions to clarify the principles underlying the ways they relate to the world and others. I help not only with common problems (anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, OCD, etc.) but also work with those whose issues are not easily captured by a diagnosis and are existential in nature. The so-called "worried well" come to uncover and work through the sources of internal struggles, in order to become their best selves and live a more fulfilling life. I am fully bilingual and practice in both English and Russian.

In my twenty years of working in the mental health field, I've learned that it is not the situation that can render us helpless, but the meaning we create about the situation. The judgments we make about ourselves and others can make a situation worse, creating anxiety, depression, or undue stress. I specialize in providing therapeutic interventions to decrease self defeating patterns and negative self-talk. You will be engaged in a partnership as treatment goals are identified to personalize your care. I specialize in the following therapies: DBT, CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness Meditation, Hypnotherapy, and Imago Couple Therapy.

I also have a special interest in working with the LGBTQIA+ population.
