Develop emotional maturity and create balanced, fulfilling relationships
Turn anxiety into self-trust & inspired action
Are you ready to break free from anxiety and toxic relationships?
If you long for satisfying and fulfilling connections but struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, know you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. These are just a fraction of the issues many adult survivors of childhood attachment and relational trauma cope with daily, making it incredibly challenging to feel secure and confident–capable of recognizing manipulative behaviors in others and navigating the ebb and flow of mature relationships.
I’ve supported countless women through similar challenges, which often stem from unresolved relational trauma. Together, we’ll explore your patterns of relating to others and develop practices to cultivate trust in your body’s ability to heal core wound pain. This emotional pain is the root of suffering and lives in every cell of your body. Releasing emotions held deep in the body clears space for inner transformation to achieve the clarity, peace, and authentic connections you deserve.
How I can help you
Therapy for anxiety & relational trauma
I creatively integrate somatic and experiential therapies, mindfulness principles, and holistic practices to help you feel less anxious and more in control of your emotions, empowering you to respond rather than react to triggers. Learning to listen and trust your body’s innate wisdom is an effective strategy for building self-trust and self-worth, two critical components of a healthy relationship with your authentic self. From this new awakened perspective, you’ll feel more grounded and secure in your decision-making, paving the way for meaningful relationships and a more fulfilling life.
Anxiety
Imagine approaching each day calmly and confidently—less reactive and more responsive. Therapy can help you fine-tune your inner compass, no longer dependent on external validation to manage your emotions. Instead, our work aims to cultivate compassion and curiosity to understand better how your anxiety has protected your vulnerability. From this perspective, self-acceptance and respect grow, restoring inner peace.
Somatic psychotherapy can help you to:
- Manage overwhelming thoughts & feelings
- Reduce panic attacks & physical symptoms
- Overcome fear & worry
- Improve sleep & relaxation

Relational Trauma
Heal emotional wounds and improve your relationships.

Together, we’ll look at how you’ve survived your life circumstances and use your strengths and interests to develop more effective self-care tools to empower you to establish connections that respect your needs and boundaries.
Somatic psychotherapy can help you to:
- Heal from emotional and psychological abuse

Hi, there,
I’m Lisa M. Drew
A depth-oriented somatic psychotherapist specializing in helping women recover from attachment and complex relational trauma in a way that is non-pathologizing and mind-body-focused.
As a licensed psychotherapist based in New Jersey and survivor of relational trauma, I am intimately familiar with the multi-dimensional impact of complex PTSD. My online therapy practice welcomes every part of your unique story because extraordinary transformation can happen when you’re seen and heard! My role is to help you feel safe and supported so you can learn to hold your vulnerability with compassion, practice mindful awareness, and ultimately release the emotional and physical effects of chronic stress held in the body due to interpersonal trauma using somatic (a.k.a body-centered) practices.
We’ll work together to identify your strengths and build the self-trust you need to regulate your emotions, cultivate serenity, and nurture healthy relationships.
