About

If anxiety, grief, trauma, or past experiences keep looping in your mind and body, you’re not broken... and you’re not alone. I’m Jenice, an EMDR & Neurofeedback therapist, and founder of Sunlight Psychotherapy. For over 10 years, I’ve helped adults who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside. If you’re the strong one who’s tired of holding it all together, therapy with me is a place to breathe, heal, and finally feel supported. Our work will be tailored to you and integrate EMDR therapy, Neurofeedback, DBT, and Parts Work to calm anxiety, regulate your nervous system, and heal trauma at the root. We’ll build practical coping skills while also doing the deeper work that creates lasting change. Therapy here is meaningful, real, and allowed to include laughter, honesty and f-bombs. When the world feels overwhelming, your nervous system is activated, emotions feel out of control, or your inner critic won’t rest... you don’t have to face it alone. You deserve a calmer, more grounded life. If you’re looking for a trauma therapist who truly gets it, I’d be honored to support you. Schedule your free consultation and let’s begin. **Specialties:** I specialize in helping adults and first responders to stop the cycles of shame, people pleasing and anxiety, so they can heal from painful experiences, move through grief and find self-compassion and connection. Together, we'll utilize curiosity and compassion to heal what's underneath the symptoms you're experiencing, while establishing useful skills to support you in your everyday. **Credentials & Experience:** I have over 10 years experience supporting adults experiencing trauma, grief, anxiety and relationship issues. I am licensed in both NY & NJ and am trained in EMDR, DBT, Mindfulness & Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, which allows me to tailor each session to my client's unique needs.

"My approach to therapy is based on mindfulness and trauma-informed practices, which allows for deeper understanding of the root of the symptoms you're feeling, and deeper healing. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, DBT, and Parts Work. Together, we'll discover what will be best for your therapeutic journey based on your unique needs & goals."
