Therapist
Virtual & in-person • 7.3 mi away • Jackson Township, NJ
Struggling with anxiety, OCD or just not feeling yourself? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience helping adult men and teenagers overcome challenges and get their life back on track. There’s no need to suffer in silence. I will put my care and training to work getting You on your feet and back in the game. Schedule a session today in order to start your healing journey.
My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.
I am an LCSW with many years experience working with trauma survivors and mothers. I teach DBT skills to help you manage stress and relationships and build a life worth living. Then I utilize IFS and EMDR to help you process past trauma so you can feel even better.
I am an energetic therapist who likes to engage with clients with a casual style. I enjoy working with all types of adult clients. I have a particular strength working with depression, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, compulsive overeaters, as well as issues related to geriatrics.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist 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 Freehold
Searching for therapists in Freehold starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they typically work with. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Freehold is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be nearby, or may offer virtual appointments from elsewhere in New Jersey. In-person therapy may work well if you prefer a local office setting, while virtual sessions can add more options when your schedule, commute, or local availability limits your search. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and session structure.
Therapy in Freehold can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
