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.

I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most overwhelming and tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or postpartum, struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or working to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to do it alone.

I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health, helping clients adjust to identity changes, manage expectations, and process the emotional ups and downs that can come with trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I also work closely with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression, providing tools to reduce distress and build a greater sense of control and confidence.

For couples, I offer a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict in a more productive and meaningful way.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City

Finding the right OCD therapist in Jersey City starts with understanding the type of care that fits your needs. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is often addressed with specialized therapeutic approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a qualified licensed provider can help determine what approach may be appropriate for your needs. Some providers also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). Look for a licensed provider — such as a psychologist, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or licensed professional counselor (LPC) — who has specific training in these approaches rather than a generalist.

Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Jersey City or virtual appointments, which can make it easier to fit care into your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style, specialties, and experience with OCD before you commit. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can see if they're the right match.

OCD therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
