Therapists for college students near Princeton University

In addition to providing traditional talk therapy, I specialize in somatic and nervous-system oriented therapy.

Research shows that traumatic stress has little to do with cognition—it emanates from the emotional part of the brain, which is accessed through the body. I have spent 15+ years studying and applying...

People I work with come to me feeling stuck - second-guessing every decision, replaying conversations in their heads, or feeling like they’ve lost touch with the version of themselves they want to be. Sometimes it’s a big life change, sometimes it’s a quiet, constant heaviness, and sometimes it’s the grief of losing someone, human or animal, who meant everything. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that connection is one of the most powerful tools for healing. I ...

The most important thing about this process is our connection. This is YOUR journey in growth, healing, & dealing with trauma and change. Therapy is a space to be YOURSELF, laugh, cry, & curse (@%#!) and discover your strengths. So, let's connect, and together, we will find the tools needed to help ...

I work with students experiencing difficulties with relationships, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, motivation, grief and loss, OCD, and trauma. I have found that a helpful starting point is to do this as a team. We build on skills you already have, learn new skills and develop understanding of who you are and what kind of life you want to live. Then we figure out what barriers are getting in the way and how to overcome them. Of course that's a general idea and we can shift things around to...
