Are you seeking a deeper sense of satisfaction in your life? Do conflicted feelings often stand in the way of your happiness? With many years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and cultivating greater well-being.

A significant aspect of my practice involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a specialty that focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors. I believe in providing practical solutions that can be readily applied to the challenges of everyday life, empowering you to make tangible progress.

My approach centers on building upon your inherent strengths while exploring new perspectives on existing challenges. Having earned my degree from the esteemed Wurzweiler School of Social Work, I bring a depth of knowledge and a compassionate perspective to my practice. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their struggles and develop effective strategies for lasting positive change.

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

I believe in holistic and evidence based care. I support people of all ages who are navigating anxiety and depression, including children, teens, adults, and older adults. My role is to guide, support, and collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, beliefs, culture, and preferences. I want you to feel heard, respected, and understood-not reduced to a diagnosis. Together, we can make space for what is difficult and build a path toward steadiness, clarity, and meaningful change, at a pace that feels right for you. You do not need to have answers before reaching out; we can begin where you are.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Jersey City

Finding couples therapists in Jersey City starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may support partners navigating communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with couples and relationship concerns. Some therapists also note specific couples training, such as the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy, and licensed marriage and family therapists may have additional training in relational care.

In Jersey City, finding one therapist who fits both partners’ needs often comes down to schedule, format, and location. An in-person office near Journal Square, Downtown Jersey City, or a PATH stop may work well for some couples, while virtual sessions can make it easier to coordinate around two calendars. As you compare therapists, check appointment availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures couples sessions and how they describes their approach.

Couples 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, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter for therapists who match your preferences, review bios, and choose between virtual and in-person care, making it easier to find a therapist who accepts your plan and is ready to see new clients.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
