Therapists in Neptune, NJ

The amazing thing is, we can all feel so much better than we do right now - even if we're already feeling quite well. But if you're looking at this website, odds are that you haven't been feeling your best lately. That can change, and it's way less complicated than you may imagine. ​ We all have a body. And the wonderful thing about our bodies is that they are built with an inherent capacity and inclination towards healing. At Equinimity Therapy NJ, I will help you harness that inherent drive and capability so you can endure, process, and even grow from major life changes, traumatic events, and mental health challenges.

Specializing in complex trauma (CPTSD), PTSD, and attachment trauma, I also help navigate chronic stress, anxiety, and depression, often linked to early struggles or family issues. I employ unique bottom-up modalities targeting specific brain regions for deep healing, addressing “stuck” emotions in the body. My approach is centered on harnessing the transformative power within each person, grounded in compassion, open-mindedness, and deep empathy. I work well with clients who want to build a better understanding of themselves.

I provide compassionate and inclusive care to individuals and families who may be struggling with mood or anxiety, social difficulties, or problems at home or school. I specialize in ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Pathological Demand Avoidance, and Neurodiversity. I offer comprehensive care across the lifespan for a wide range of psychological, social, emotional, and behavioral concerns. I am warm, direct, authentic, and passionate about my work. I am constantly inspired by my clients, young and old. I am deeply committed to recognizing and uplifting the unique strengths and diverse perspectives of each client I work with.

Consider the messages you learned from your family growing up, and how those life lessons found their way into the way you view the world. How do they inform the way you see yourself? What is their impact on how you connect to others in relationships? In our work together we uncover deeply held beliefs about others and the world that may be causing us to repeat unhelpful patterns of behavior. Repeating these patterns can cause us to feel a myriad of negative feelings- confusion, frustration and loneliness. I aim to create a warm, empathic and caring relationship that allows you to feel heard and understood.

Do parts of you feel worry, restlessness, or overwhelm? Do you have a critical voice that's really harsh? Have you noticed yourself feeling hopeless, stuck, only to shut down, get lost in distraction, spend money, or reach for comfort through something familiar and unhealthy? My clients learn how to separate from the parts of them that take over, understand their intended function, allow their true self to take the lead, and access curiosity, calm, connectedness, and clarity. While proficient in various forms of talk therapy which I integrate into session, I’ve found specialization/focus on IFS therapy most helpful for my clients.

Frequently, people who have experienced trauma develop extraordinary survival skills. Often the strategies that were critical for survival when you were a child, thwart the ability to develop satisfying work, family and/or romantic relationships in adulthood. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to transcend patterns that are holding you back from achieving your goals, and realizing your potential. This often includes addressing family, career, and relationship issues within the treatment as well as recognizing thinking and/or behavior which may be harmful or holding you back.

Ready to dive deeper into yourself and just be you? As a licensed professional counselor, I believe understanding and loving your authentic self is the key to happiness and stability in life. I’ve been practicing for over two decades and work with adults 18-99+ who want to understand themselves better and live their lives to the fullest. My solution-focused approach combines left-brained schema theory and some right-brained art expression when feeling stuck. I will always work with you to tailor the dialogue and treatment plan to meet your needs. Congratulations on taking that first step!

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

I help individuals build fulfilling relationships – with themselves and with others. In order to connect with others we must first have a solid connection to our own self. In order to have a solid sense of self we need to build internal awareness and find language to understand our experiences.

From a trauma-informed, relational perspective, I will help you explore the past as well as the present so that you can get the most out of your future.

Life is filled with challenges. We all need help from time to time but asking for help may not be easy. Each of us experience life and the world around us through a unique lens. Often what we believe becomes our reality. It is not just what happens to us but how we experience those events personally, based on what is most important to us, that in turn influences how we feel and behave. I love helping people connect the dots between their life experiences and their personal needs and values to understand how to heal from the past and move forward to a brighter, better future.
