Trauma can develop not only from single events, but from long-term emotional stress, unsafe relationships, childhood neglect, or living in constant survival mode. Many individuals with complex trauma (C-PTSD) struggle with emotional regulation, hypervigilance, anxiety, dissociation, or feeling disconnected from themselves and others.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Essex County, New Jersey, I provide trauma-informed therapy that prioritizes emotional safety, stabilization, and nervous system regulation. Therapy is not about reliving the past or pushing you before you are ready. It is about helping your body and mind feel safe enough to slow down and heal.
Trauma-focused therapy may help if you experience:
Chronic anxiety or emotional overwhelm
Difficulty trusting others or yourself
Feeling “stuck” in survival mode
Emotional numbness or shutdown
Strong reactions to stress or conflict
My approach is collaborative, paced, and grounded in evidence-based trauma care. We work together to understand your patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and rebuild a sense of internal stability.
I offer trauma therapy in Essex County, NJ, serving clients in Newark, Montclair, West Orange, and throughout New Jersey via telehealth.
