Hi, I’m Jelani. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and big life transitions, especially those who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life they want to be living.
Starting therapy can feel like standing at the edge of a high dive. It’s equal parts exciting, nerve-wracking, and courageous. Real change doesn’t happen inside our comfort zones, but you don’t have to jump alone. My goal is to help you feel supported, safe, and confident as you take steps toward the life you deserve. Ideally, with a little humor along the way.
I specialize in evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy for individuals which integrates:
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): balancing acceptance with change.
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): for trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories
- The Gottman Method: for healing and strengthening relationships
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey, offering both in-person therapy in Moorestown and online therapy across New Jersey. I’ve worked in both partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient trauma settings, supporting women as they rebuild trust in themselves and others.
What I love most about this work is watching people reconnect with possibility, even when it once felt impossible. That’s the healing.
When I’m not in session, I’m likely planning my next travel adventure, snapping pictures of my adventures (yes, I have 80,000+ photos in my camera roll) and hanging out with my favorite people. I also firmly believe that movie theater popcorn tastes better with an embarrassing amount of butter.
If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to meet you. Whether in Moorestown or virtually across NJ. Let’s take that jump together.
