Getting started with therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist matters.
Therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, injury or illness recovery, and late-term pregnancy loss — grounded in a genuine, collaborative therapeutic relationship.
In-person in Montclair and online throughout New Jersey
It’s rarely one isolated issue that brings someone to therapy.
You may be struggling to change a negative pattern, navigating a difficult time, finding current relationships unfulfilling, or simply feeling that something in your life needs to change. Here you’ll find a safe place where difficult thoughts and feelings can be freely explored.
Together, we’ll work toward greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, and a clear path toward meaningful personal growth.
Welcome. I'm Dayna.
Initiating therapy is a significant milestone.
I offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help you process your concerns. Depending on your goals, we can focus on short-term targeted interventions or pursue long-term, depth-oriented psychotherapy tailored to your timeline.
Together, we’ll look more closely at the emotional habits, inner conflicts, and relationship patterns that quietly shape how you think, feel, and live — opening the door to meaningful change. My style is warm and collaborative, drawing on both my clinical training and experience.
Therapy is a place to speak honestly, reconsider beliefs you've long held, and put down what you've been carrying alone.
Ways to work together.
-
Individual Therapy
For adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a general sense that something in life isn't working the way it should. Many clients come to therapy at a transition point: a relationship ending, a career shift, a growing awareness that old patterns no longer serve them.
-
Couples Therapy
For partners who want to better understand the patterns that shape their relationship, not just resolve the immediate conflict. I work with couples ready to look honestly at how they relate to one another to find greater intimacy and connection.
Areas of Special Focus
-
Late-Stage Pregnancy Loss or Stillbirth
Experiencing a late-stage pregnancy loss or stillbirth is a profound, life-altering trauma that leaves an emptiness few truly understand. I provide a compassionate space where we can fully acknowledge the depth of your pain, honor your baby’s memory, and gently uncover a path toward healing and hope.
-
Navigating the Challenges of a Significant Health Event
A serious injury or illness changes more than the body. It can unsettle your sense of self, your relationships, and your plans for the future. I provide a compassionate space to process what has shifted, empowering you to rebuild and reclaim your life.
This isn't a passive process.
I'm an active participant in our sessions, not a silent observer. Change happens through our relationship as much as through anything discussed within our sessions. I take that responsibility seriously. Today is a great day to begin.
