Supporting You Through Stress, Loss, and the Pressure to Hold It All Together. Sometimes life feels like too much, like your mind won’t stop racing, or you’re carrying more than you can handle alone. Maybe you’re grieving or just trying to keep control in a world that is unpredictable. You push yourself hard, holding yourself to impossible standards, and anything less than perfect feels like failure. Or maybe you swing between burning out completely and shutting down. Navigating all of this can feel lonely and exhausting which is why having support matters.

Hello! My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can process your experiences, deepen your understanding of yourself, and explore areas where healing is needed. I take a person-centered approach, meaning you lead the way in your journey while I follow—offering guidance, support, and tools as needed. I offer EMDR, IFS, CBT, and other modalities, tailoring our work to what feels most helpful and empowering for you. I also place a strong emphasis on connecting the mind and body, as many of us experience a disconnect between the two. For those who are interested, I incorporate elements of energy therapy—drawing on yogic principles, Usui Reiki, and other approaches—to support your healing process. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and experiences, and I offer specific support for those seeking culturally sensitive therapy, honoring your unique story and identity throughout our work together.

I work collaboratively with you to create positive changes in your life, resolve challenges, and move toward goals that feel meaningful and authentic. I believe it is important to understand who you are as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or label. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, compassionate, and centered on your unique experiences, strengths, and needs. I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered therapy, psychodynamic principles, play therapy, and EMDR. I also have a strong background in the Developmental, Individual-Difference, Relationship-Based (DIR) model and specialized training in Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). These frameworks help me better support individuals and families, particularly those navigating neurodiversity, trauma, and complex emotional experiences.

You're not lazy. You're not weak. You're running on empty — and you've probably been doing it for longer than you'd like to admit. Anxiety has a way of making everything feel urgent and nothing feel manageable. Add unprocessed experiences to the mix, and the mind can become a place you'd rather not be. I work with adults who are ready to stop "surviving the days". Whether you're dealing with chronic stress, racing thoughts, or the weight of things you've never quite unpacked, therapy can offer more than just relief — it can offer real, lasting change. You've already taken the first step by being here. Schedule a consultation and let's figure out what's next, together.

Welcome, I'm Shari and I support adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Many of the individuals I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, and are looking for a space to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. We’ll talk through what’s been going on in your life, make sense of your thoughts and emotions, and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I’ll help you slow things down, see things more clearly, and learn ways to manage stress, navigate difficult emotions, and respond differently in challenging situations. The goal is not just to talk, but to help you leave sessions with tools you can actually use in your everyday life. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself, while also being challenged to grow. Together, we work toward increasing clarity, strengthening coping skills, and helping you feel more in control and aligned in your life. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling more grounded, more confident, and more connected to your sense of peace and purpose.

I work with adults who carry a lot—responsibility, expectations, and often unresolved trauma—while appearing strong and capable to everyone else. If you struggle with chronic anxiety, burnout, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of pressure, my work is designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and heal at a deeper level. With over 15 years of clinical experience, my approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in attachment-based and evidence-based care. I specialize in complex and developmental trauma, as well as high-functioning anxiety and burnout—particularly for clients who have spent years coping, over-functioning, or putting others first. Therapy with me is collaborative, gentle, and deeply intentional. I focus on creating safety and trust first, because meaningful trauma work can only happen when your nervous system feels supported. From that foundation, we work to understand how past experiences continue to shape your anxiety, relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety in the present. Clients often describe my style as warm and supportive, while also appropriately challenging. I will meet you with compassion and respect, and I will also help you notice patterns that keep you stuck so that real, lasting change is possible.

Healing is a process of reconnecting with your inner wisdom, resilience, and sense of self. As an EMDR therapist, I support adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem through a holistic approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit. I identify as spiritual but not religious, and this perspective meaningfully informs my work. I hold space for intuition, personal meaning, and the deeper, less tangible aspects of healing that often go beyond words. EMDR therapy helps resolve root causes of distress, supporting nervous system regulation and relief from long-held emotional burdens. Reiki, energy perspectives, and symbolic frameworks (like tarot and archetypes) shape how I understand patterns and inner guidance but are not a substitute for psychotherapy. I approach my work with care and respect for each client’s beliefs. Any spiritual or intuitive exploration is always optional, collaborative, and guided by your comfort, interest, and consent. My priority is to create a grounded, inclusive space where all parts of you—emotional, physical, and spiritual—are welcome.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults who function well in demanding roles but experience internal strain related to anxiety, ADHD, sleep issues, or sustained stress. Many of my clients are in high-pressure environments such as healthcare, first response, STEM, or other responsibility-heavy fields, and are seeking support that goes beyond surface-level coping. My work is informed by formal training in clinical counseling at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a research background in STEM fields. This combination shapes a structured, systems-oriented approach that integrates neuroscience, evidence-based therapy, and careful attention to how complex internal patterns develop and persist under pressure. I work with individuals across diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, and approach identity as an important part of lived context rather than the problem itself. Therapy is a space for clarity, safety, and meaningful change, especially for those who appear capable on the outside but feel taxed or constrained internally.

Why filter by New Jersey rather than a city like Newark?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in New Jersey. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Jersey from Jersey City to Paterson! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Jersey.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
