The invitation
When you're ready for an approach that can help you think, feel and function better.
Many of the people I work with come to me after trying a few things already. Talk therapy that helped them understand but didn’t quite shift things. Medication that took the edge off without getting them all the way there. A sense that something’s still not right, even when everything looks fine on paper.
If that sounds familiar, it doesn’t mean you’re stuck or beyond help. More often, it simply means you haven’t found the right combination for you yet. That’s where my work begins: understanding the whole picture, then drawing on the right tools to help you feel genuinely better.
How can I help
Ways we might work together
01
Anxiety & Depression
For when you’re doing everything right and still feel anxious, flat, or not quite like yourself. We’ll get underneath the symptoms and find what actually helps you feel steady again.
02
Trauma & PTSD
Sometimes talking about it isn’t enough. Using EMDR and neurofeedback, we work with how trauma is stored in the brain and body to help create meaningful, lasting change.
03
Peak Performance
For athletes and high achievers held back by nerves or self-doubt. This isn’t about adding pressure. It’s about quieting the noise so you can feel comfortable and show up as yourself.
04
Teen Therapy
For teens navigating anxiety, pressure, self-doubt, or just trying to find their footing. Therapy gives them a place to feel understood while they figure out who they are.
HOW I WORK
Three Tools, Matched to You
I’m not a one-size-fits-all therapist. Depending on what you’re working through and what feels right to you, I draw on three main approaches, often in combination.
Relational Talk Therapy
The relationship comes first. We make sense of what’s weighing on you, notice the patterns underneath it, and create space for you to feel understood without having to hold everything together.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
When something painful still feels stuck, EMDR helps the brain process what happened so it can carry less weight in the present.
Neurofeedback
Brain training
A gentle, evidence-based way to work directly with the brain and nervous system, helping with regulation, focus, anxiety, and that constant high-alert feeling.
What’s Possible
Imagine feeling like yourself again
Picture waking up steadier, with a mind clear enough to focus on what’s in front of you and the resilience to move through a hard day without it flattening you.
That’s not wishful thinking. It’s what tends to happen when understanding and the right tools come together. You’ve spent enough time just getting by. Let’s get you further than that.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I offer relational talk therapy that really values the connection between the client and the therapist. This is truly the most important part. EMDR is an approach used in sessions to supplement traditional talk therapy. I also offer neurofeedback brain training to help people function at their best. I work with teens, young adults, professionals, athletes, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and performance challenges. My office is in Ewing, New Jersey, and I see clients from Hopewell, Pennington, Princeton, the greater Mercer County area, and across the Bucks County, Pennsylvania border.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, evidence-based approach that helps your brain learn to regulate itself more effectively. Many people describe it as a workout for the brain. It’s especially helpful for anxiety, focus, trauma, and stress-related symptoms, and it often reaches people who haven’t found full relief through talk therapy or medication alone.
-
Often, one approach on its own hasn’t addressed everything that’s going on, particularly what’s happening in your brain and nervous system. By starting with a thorough assessment and then drawing on the right intervention based on your needs, we can work with what may not have been the right fit before and create change you can feel.
-
I’m an out-of-network provider, so I don’t bill insurance directly. For talk therapy, I can provide a superbill you’re welcome to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. I’m happy to walk through the details during your consultation.
-
It depends on what we’re working on together. I am a big believer that therapy at all different stages of life is a beneficial form of self care so for some, it might look like a process over time! For others who are looking for results in a shorter amount of time, clients doing neurofeedback typically see undeniable, meaningful change within about five to eight sessions on a biweekly basis. With EMDR it varies from person to person, though some notice a difference within several sessions once the process is underway. We’ll set realistic expectations together from the start.
-
Yes, and it’s some of my favorite work. I see teens 14 and up, along with young adults, helping them build focus, confidence, and self-trust at a stage of life when those things matter enormously.
