About Mae – Trauma Therapist in New Jersey
Mae is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), and Integrative Health Coach providing trauma therapy, substance use counseling, anxiety and depression treatment, and couples therapy in New Jersey. Her work focuses on helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck or disconnected.
Mae believes that therapy is most effective when built on a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process grounded in empathy, authenticity, respect, and cultural sensitivity, creating a space where clients feel safe enough to process difficult experiences and move toward meaningful change.
Her approach integrates both traditional and brain-body therapies, with a strong focus on Brainspotting and EMDR as primary approaches for trauma processing and nervous system healing. Mae also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychodynamic approaches to help clients better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, and build healthier ways of coping and relating.
Having lived and worked across diverse communities, cultures, and continents, Mae brings a culturally informed and nuanced perspective to her work. She recognizes that emotional experiences are often shaped not only by personal history, but also by family systems, identity, culture, and lived experiences.
Mae's path to becoming a mental health therapist is deeply personal. The challenges and emotional pain she experienced in her formative years shaped her understanding of the importance of healing, mental and emotional well-being, and ultimately inspired her desire to help others navigate their own healing journeys through therapy.
Her goal is to help clients move toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being while fostering long-term growth and healing. Mae welcomes feedback throughout the therapeutic process to ensure therapy remains aligned with each client's unique needs and goals. One of her greatest hopes is to help clients become less dependent on therapy over time and more connected to their own internal capacity for healing and change.
