Welcome! I'm glad you're taking the first step towards entering therapy. A little about myself...

This means that I focus on getting to know you, your strengths, and interests, because it's important to establish a connection.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.8 mi away • Teaneck, NJ


I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.

Happy patient looking away

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 Hackensack

Searching for therapists in Hackensack starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand each therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for life transitions.

Hackensack has local therapy options, but nearby availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey, which may help if you need a specific therapy style, evening availability, or a therapist who is accepting new patients. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for practical fit. Look at appointment times, session format, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can learn more before starting care.

Therapy in Hackensack can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
