Online Anxiety Therapy in New Jersey
Therapy for adults across New Jersey who expect the worst, have a million “what if’s” they’re sorting through, and just want to quiet their mind.
Anxiety is increasingly common. It shows up in many forms including overthinking, replaying the past, waiting for the other shoe to drop, a nagging voice in your head that questions the security of your close relationships. Despite all the reassurance you get, the anxiety remains.
What Anxiety Therapy with me Looks Like
The evidence-based therapy I’m trained in aims to achieve transformational change. The kind of change that is so fundamental that you don’t have to work at it once it happens. Transformational change means that the scenarios and circumstances that triggered you before won’t.
We begin by uncovering what your anxiety is attempting to protect you from and how your anxiety manifests itself. The last thing we want is to push the anxiety away and demonize it. My approach aims to leave clients fully understanding their anxiety from a compassionate place which is the bedrock of change. From there, I use techniques from the evidenced-based approaches below to address the fear beneath the perfectionism, overthinking, tight jaw, etc. When the root fear is addressed, that anxious part of you can finally relax as it realizes that threat it was perceiving is no longer there.
Take a look at the evidenced-based approaches to treating anxiety:

IFS believes that within each of us is a complex internal “family” containing different parts.
There is the part of you that chose to seek therapy and there may be another part of you that’s scared to start. In the IFS world, this complexity is all welcome. Every part of you is fleshed out slowly, with compassion and curiosity because IFS believes every part has intentions of protecting or helping you…even the parts you don’t like.
IFS also believes we all have a core Self beneath the defense mechanisms we adopted in response to pain, trauma, and adversity. Our core Self is compassionate, curious, clear-minded, calm, creative, courageous, confident, and compassionate.
Through IFS techniques, profound relief is possible.

Brainspotting is an evidence-based somatic-therapy that supports the achievement of relief from traumatic experiences. It’s tagline is, “Where you look affects how you feel”.
The approach hones in on eye position as a mechanism for memory reconsolidation, the brain’s process for unlearning core beliefs about yourself and the world.
Brainspotting was born out of EMDR and offers comparable results without a strict protocol. When individuals are guided to find an eye position connected to pain, trauma, or adversity, Brainspotting enables the brain to engage in its natural healing and consolidation process by activating brain regions tied to survival responses, emotion, and memory.
This approach can be beneficial for folks who: intellectualize and/or want a different experience than standard talk therapy.

Coherence Therapy is an evidence-based approach that facilitated unlearning and resolution of deep emotional wounds. The approach works via the memory reconsolidation process.
Coherence therapy is nonjudgemental, holding the philosophy that our symptoms actually make total sense based on the (often unconscious) emotional lessons we learned when we experienced pain, suffering, and trauma.
Coherence therapy works to uncover the unconscious emotional lessons themselves so that they can be transformed and long-term relief can be experienced.
