I am a very laid-back therapist. I value the therapeutic relationship we build. I view our experience as a travel we go on together to help remove obstacles leading to your chosen goals. This is also your safe place to talk about things you may not feel comfortable talking to with people in your day-to-day life. My approach is to provide a nonjudgmental safe space.
I was an educator for almost 14 years when I began my training in clinical mental health. I initially worked with teens and families in intensive in-home therapy. I transitioned to outpatient where I worked with women and men who had histories of abuse. My training and experience have been predominantly in trauma and grief. I have worked with individuals who suffer from mood disorders as well as personality disorders, particularly those with complex traumas and abuse in their histories.
I strive to create a space that is comfortable, accepting and lighthearted at times. I enjoy creating a therapeutic relationship that involves a direct approach while also being welcoming and open-minded.

Navigating the path to healing can feel daunting, especially for marginalized individuals facing systemic barriers. My mission is to honor and empower your strength and vulnerability as you seek support. Together, we'll create a safe space where you can share your story authentically, free from judgment or criticism. I integrate cultural, racial, and ethnic understanding into our sessions to ensure your unique experiences are respected and validated.
My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.
Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

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 a Therapist in Linwood
Finding the right therapist in Linwood starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists, counselors, and psychologists all provide talk therapy, but their training and credentials vary. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship concerns, or life transitions, a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LPC, or LMFT) is often a strong fit. If you may need medication management for a condition like ADHD or depression, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
Linwood and the surrounding Atlantic County area — including Egg Harbor Township, Northfield, Somers Point, and Absecon — have a range of licensed mental health providers. When comparing options, consider what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, their therapeutic approach (such as CBT or DBT), whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and help you decide if they're a good match before you book.
Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. 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 a therapist in Linwood who fits your needs and your budget.
