I offer a calm, mindful, and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported to achieve their wellness goals.
My philosophy is to approach each person as an individual with his or her own ability/willingness/readiness to work through the issues at hand. I believe our thought process can be our own worst enemy at times and I work to assist the client to be more aware of the pitfalls of these negatively charged thoughts. I combine a range of therapeutic approaches based on your distinct needs of the client. I provide counseling services for those looking to reduce and manage anxiety and depression, develop affirmative overall functioning, and obtain assistance in confronting life trials.
I have worked with ages 5-99, in school settings, residential and out-patient settings as well as detention settings. As a School Counselor for the past 20 years, I have worked with students and parents to navigate through a myriad of familial, relational and school related issues.

My path to being a therapist involved listening to feedback I've received most of my life. For many years I experienced others coming to me in crisis, whether I knew them well or not. I often wondered why others felt comfortable sharing with me and why they were confident in coming to me for assistance. What makes me suited to be a therapist is a natural talent and motivation to assist others in transformation. Providing therapy is my second career; previously, I worked as a hospital administrator for many years. I went into the profession of health administration for compensation and prestige. Security was my motivation at the time. After several years of not feeling fulfilled, I decided to pursue what was missing and lead with my heart
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Felician University. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I work with clients navigating relationship issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, aging, phase-of-life transitions, career aspirations and changes, and parental challenges. In my therapy sessions, I create a safe and nurturing environment where every individual is welcome and valued. I understand that seeking support is a personal and sometimes vulnerable experience, so I prioritize warmth, respect, and openness. My approach is rooted in compassion, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they explore their thoughts and emotions. No matter their background or experiences, they can trust that therapy will be a space of acceptance, understanding, and growth.

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.
