Online Therapy for Women in NY, NJ & MA Anxiety, Trauma & Perinatal Support

Welcome to Amethyst Counseling Services

You’ve been holding a lot for a long time — and lately it feels heavier than it should.

There are moments in life when everything begins to shift — your roles, your relationships, even your sense of self. Sometimes the change is obvious. Other times, it’s quiet and invisible to everyone but you. Either way, something inside you knows: things feel different now.

Whether you’re navigating motherhood (or deciding not to), managing a demanding career, questioning your path, grieving a loss, or trying to keep it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed within — this is a space to come back to your voice, your worth, and your truth.

Many of the women I work with come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, trauma responses, or the emotional transitions of pregnancy and postpartum.

My approach is thoughtful, depth-oriented, and tailored for high-functioning women who are ready for meaningful, lasting change.

I work with women who are:

• Balancing ambition with burnout
• Exploring fertility, family planning, or uncertainty around conception
• Adjusting to pregnancy, postpartum, or shifting roles in motherhood
• Feeling unseen in relationships or unsupported in their community
• Wrestling with identity changes, emotional overload, or the fear of not being “enough”

Like the amethyst stone, our work is meant to bring clarity, calm, and emotional protection. Together, we’ll sort through what’s been weighing on you, make sense of what’s changing, and help you reconnect with yourself.

With advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and EMDR therapy, I provide trauma-informed care that honors your lived experience — whether you’re a mother, professional, caretaker, dreamer, or all of the above. My work is especially supportive for high-functioning women who are used to pushing through but are ready for deeper, lasting relief.
