Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing something needs to change—it's carrying the weight of it by yourself. Whether you're living with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or feeling caught between different identities, cultures, or expectations, therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself. I believe healing begins by understanding your story with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we'll explore not only what's hurting today, but also the strengths that have helped you survive and the parts of yourself that are ready to grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakewood
Searching for therapists in Lakewood starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Lakewood therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match your needs. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.
Lakewood is a smaller market, so nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Lakewood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost for care in Lakewood before you book. You can browse therapists in Lakewood, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
