I am a dedicated outpatient therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kean University. My clinical experience includes working in Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) settings, where I have supported both teens and adults with a wide range of mental health diagnoses. My primary passion lies in trauma work, and I approach therapy from a trauma-informed perspective that emphasizes safety, empowerment, and individualized care.
I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Ridgewood, NJ
am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, skills-based psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient's age, circumstances, symptoms, and goals.
My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health systems, detoxification and dual-diagnosis programs, and community-based mental health organizations. This experience has allowed me to work with individuals across the lifespan and with a wide range of needs, from patients seeking help with anxiety, depression, or ADHD to those managing trauma, substance use, or more complex mental health conditions. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree with advanced training in psychiatric mental health. In addition to my direct clinical work, I have served as Chief Nurse Executive for a large behavioral health organization, where I oversaw integrated mental health, addiction treatment, and community-care programs. Working at both the patient and organizational levels has given me a broad perspective on mental health care and reinforced the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect a person's well-being.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing the most effective treatment approaches to help my clients achieve their life goals and be the best that they can be. Over the past twenty years, I have been helping children, teens and adults face and overcome problems that may prevent them from reaching their fullest potential. These difficulties may include ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma or adjustment problems related to life events such as a death or divorce. I will help you determine what may be underlying the problem and develop an effective treatment plan to address the issues and achieve your goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Jersey City
Finding ADHD therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function skills, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and CBT for ADHD. Psychiatrists can help with medication management when that is part of your care plan. Some people look for therapy, some look for psychiatry, and some work with both. It can also help to look for a therapist with experience in adult ADHD, pediatric ADHD, anxiety, depression, or school and work-related challenges.
Jersey City offers a range of mental health care options, from offices near transit and walkable neighborhoods to virtual appointments that can fit around work, school, or family schedules. When comparing therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and the therapy approaches listed in their profile. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety or depression, so reading therapist bios can help you find someone whose experience matches the full range of support you want.
Therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse profiles, review specialties and appointment options, 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.
