Therapist

I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Therapist

Virtual • Westfield, NJ


Welcome! I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related concerns, grief, and life transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, first responders, veterans, and families seeking structured support and meaningful change.

I use compassion, warmth, and a touch of humor to help clients feel safe, understood, and at ease during our work together. I also strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges without judgment and reconnect with their strengths.

Therapeutically, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, psychodynamic approaches, DBT skills, mindfulness, and strengths-based coaching to support clarity, healing, and growth at each client’s pace.

Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Four Immeasurables—happiness, joy, compassion, and equanimity—my practice reflects a commitment to cultivating emotional resilience and deeper wellbeing in everyday life.

Whether you're seeking support through stress, trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, or life transitions, my role is to walk with you, guide you, and help you discover meaningful change from the inside out.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Jersey City, NJ

Searching for therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Jersey City has therapy options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Journal Square, the Heights, and near Lincoln Park, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If commute time, transit access, or scheduling matters to you, narrow your search by location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to address.

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 understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
