Individual Therapy in Montclair, NJ
You manage your responsibilities well.
You show up for others.
You hold things together.
And yet, in certain moments, especially in close relationships, something feels unsettled.
Individual therapy offers space to understand what is driving these patterns and to create steadier, more intentional responses.
You Might Recognize Yourself Here
• You feel anxious when connection feels uncertain
• You replay conversations and question whether you were “too much”

• You struggle to express anger or disappointment directly
• You shut down when emotions feel overwhelming

What We Work On
Individual therapy in Montclair, NJ focuses on the emotional patterns underneath anxiety, relationship stress, and lingering trauma.
Rather than simply managing symptoms, we slow down and make sense of the reactions that feel automatic, including pulling away, over-functioning, and the internal pressure to hold everything together.
Together, we work toward steadier connection, clearer communication, and deeper self-understanding.
When we understand what shaped us, we gain the freedom to respond differently.
How Therapy Helps
Therapy is not about fixing you.
It is about understanding how earlier experiences shaped your emotional responses and developing more secure, grounded ways of relating to yourself and others.
When helpful, trauma-focused and body-based approaches may be integrated to support deeper processing and lasting change.
When You’re Ready
Therapy may be a fit if you are willing to explore the emotional patterns shaping your relationships and build a stronger sense of internal steadiness.
If that resonates, I invite you to schedule a consultation.
