You deserve a care plan that sees the whole person—not just a 15-minute prescription.
Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I believe true healing happens in a trusted partnership. In our sessions, you will find a safe, non-judgmental space where your voice is heard, your story is respected, and your personal goals guide every decision we make together.
How We Will Work Together:
- Care Beyond Medication: While precision medication management can be an effective tool, it is only one part of healing. I actively integrate evidence-based therapy skills (including CBT and Motivational Interviewing) to help you build practical, lasting coping strategies.
- Mind-Body Connection: With more than 25 years of extensive clinical nursing experience, I look closely at how your physical health, sleep, stress, and lifestyle influence how you feel mentally and emotionally.
- Culturally Sensitive & Personalized: Your background, values, and lived experiences matter. We will tailor your care to fit who you are and what you care about most.
Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, mood changes, or major life transitions, we will work together at your pace to help you regain balance and feel empowered in your daily life.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Highland Park
Finding psychiatrists in Highland Park starts with understanding the kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, psychiatric care may fit your needs. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both.
Highland Park is a smaller community, so local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger cities. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in New Jersey. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer medication management, therapy, or both. Reading each bio can help you understand their clinical focus, session style, and experience with concerns like yours before you book.
Psychiatric care in Highland Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients with your plan, so you can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
