I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and national certified counselor (NCC) with experience as a school counselor and director of school counseling services.

As a clinician of color and first-generation immigrant, I offer an intersectionality-informed space to explore practical strategies for lasting change. Sessions are available in English and Korean.
I'm passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety and depression—I truly thrive when helping clients break the grip of panic. My ideal clients are ready to move beyond "just talking" into action, mastering the practical strategies needed to reclaim their well-being. Using a direct, empowering approach, we'll untangle how your thoughts shape your emotions. Together, we'll build a toolkit to manage both mental overwhelm and the physical toll of anxiety. My goal is to equip you with the confidence and high-level tools to navigate life's stressors independently and finally feel like yourself again.
With 20 years of experience, I am a certified CBT specialist dedicated to helping adults break free from anxiety disorders, panic, OCD, ADHD, depression, and insomnia with CBT-I. My approach is direct and empowering; I don't just listen—I equip you with a specialized toolkit to silence intrusive thoughts so you can manage your mental well-being independently.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families navigate some of life's most difficult moments — including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. My background spans a wide range of settings and presenting concerns, and over the years I've also worked as a licensed clinical supervisor, mentoring newer clinicians as they build their own practices. I practice virtually, so you can access care from wherever you're most comfortable. Whether you've been in therapy before or are just starting out, you'll find my approach warm, direct, and focused on what actually helps you move forward.
I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and have experience working across a variety of settings, including outpatient counseling, community work, and crisis intervention.
My goal is to help my clients find a greater sense of purpose in life. My practice focuses on individual therapy for late teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults. If you are ready to set and achieve your personal goals, I am here to walk alongside you. I will provide you with a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions and memories.
I will challenge the way you think, help you establish coping skills, teach you effective communication, and ultimately be the best version of yourself!
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.
I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.
I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Certified Clinical Supervisor with over 5 years experience in providing trauma-informed care.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, trauma, and the many transitions life throws our way. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Psychology, a journey that fuels my commitment to providing evidence-based care while staying at the forefront of clinical research.
My professional background includes supporting adults and young adults through challenges ranging from PTSD and substance use to family dynamics and relationship stressors. I also specialize in supporting clients through gender-specific issues and significant life stages, including postpartum support and major career or personal shifts.
I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a warm, nonjudgmental partnership. At Holistic Counseling Solution, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and comfortable being yourself. Together, we will focus on your unique strengths to foster the meaningful, lasting change you are looking for.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Jersey City
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Jersey City starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist with experience in affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH-informed training, or LGBTQIA+ populations may be a better fit for concerns related to identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamics, or gender-affirming care in New Jersey. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches the kind of support you want.
Jersey City has a strong network of mental health professionals, and your best fit may be nearby, across Hudson County, or available through virtual sessions. Virtual care can expand access to affirming therapists, especially when you want someone with specific LGBTQIA+ experience, a certain therapy style, or a shared background. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Therapist bios can also show how they describe their communication style and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.
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 out-of-pocket costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who take insurance, review estimated session costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
