Making Life More Colorful
Psychotherapy and Community in NY & NJ
Hi, I’m SJ!
Someone once told me to paint the sky blue—to embrace the colors of life. I believe we all have the power to shape the world around us. No matter how challenging life can be, I am committed to creating an atmosphere of peace, gentleness, and connection.
INDIVIDUAL & GROUP
Psychotherapy
I practice under a trauma-informed, intersectional, and resiliency-oriented lens. Through my extensive history of working with survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and childhood sexual abuse, I have developed a skill set that encompasses the many interwoven and complex facets of trauma. I also have experience working with family members and others trying to support loved ones who are struggling to navigate these themes.
Community Gatherings
Private practice can be rewarding, but it often comes with a sense of isolation. My community gatherings for therapists provide a space to connect, share experiences, and build relationships with like-minded professionals who understand the unique challenges of the field. These events foster support, collaboration, and a sense of belonging, ensuring no therapist has to navigate the journey alone.
Trainings & Workshops
My training and workshop offerings are experiential and engaging, designed to help therapists not just learn but deeply embody somatic and trauma-informed practices. With years of facilitation experience, I create interactive spaces that encourage curiosity, practice, and real-time integration. These gatherings offer both education and community, ensuring therapists feel supported while expanding their skills in a meaningful way.
