Hi, I'm Haley! I'm an LCSW, Brooklyn born, New Jersey based, who has experience working in community-based mental health, a school setting, in-home counseling and seeing private clients. I am a certified DBT therapist, and have taken some courses for a doula certification.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and couples, as well as adolescents and families. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, substance use concerns, and other emotional and behavioral challenges. I also provide sex therapy and have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you are struggling individually or working through challenges in a relationship, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what is happening, and begin making meaningful changes.
I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University and have a diverse clinical background that extends beyond traditional outpatient therapy. Before focusing on psychotherapy, I spent many years working as a medical social worker and care coordinator in hospital and community health settings. During that time, I supported individuals and families navigating medical and behavioral health concerns, chronic illness, substance use, domestic violence, psychiatric crises, and other difficult life circumstances.
These experiences have shaped the way I practice today. I understand that emotional well-being is often connected to relationships, physical health, family dynamics, work, identity, sexuality, and the practical pressures of everyday life. Rather than looking at a concern in isolation, I try to understand the larger context of what you are experiencing and how the different parts of your life may be affecting one another.

Emotions can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with difficult memories from your past. Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope. Many people struggle with these symptoms whether it’s from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. Life can be hard and we all need help sometimes. I'm here to help you figure out what works best for you.
Are you looking for a therapist who understands your culture and speaks your language? I can help. I am fluent in Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Jersey City
Finding addiction therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, or concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction-informed care, or coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.
Jersey City has a mix of local therapy options, from downtown offices near transit to virtual appointments that make it easier to find a therapist beyond your closest neighborhood. For addiction care, fit also includes how a therapist describes their approach. Many people look for a therapist who has experience with nonjudgmental support, harm reduction frameworks, relapse prevention, or substance use counseling. Read therapist profiles before booking to understand their specialties, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare Jersey City therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
