Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Linwood, NJ covered by United Healthcare

Welcome! I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who provides personalized mental health services to patients with an approachable style. I believe in person-centered care with evidence-based treatment approaches.

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!

I believe in a client-centered approach, combining holistic and evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. Recognizing that people are equal parts nature, nurture and the surroundings in which they live is a priority of mine, as no two people endure the same sets of circumstances. Moving forward consists of recognizing where a person is at that time, as well as crafting the space to assist them on the path to where they would like to be in order to have a better quality of life.

I am a culturally sensitive person, and bring these attributes into my practice, along with a skill set which has helped many as the years have passed with the gratitude in helping many clients in their individual change process.

I'm a Georgia Peach with a New Jersey Swag. I am from Newark, New Jersey but I lived in Georgia for about 15yrs. I have that southern touch along with that New Jersey toughness. I love helping people obtain their goals in life. I have been in the field of counseling for over20yrs. I know counseling works because I've personally tried it. Counseling is my 2nd career in life and my combination of education and life experiences tends to be a great match for helping others.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.

I am an LPC with a decade's worth of experience working with a wide variety of ages and populations. I received my B.A. in Psychology from James Madison University and my M.A. in Counseling from Montclair State University.

I am very experienced in working with children & adolescents directly (ages 5-17), as well as with parents and families. I also have experience working with older adolescents and young adults on the autism spectrum.

Are you looking to finally feel heard and understood? Do you fear the unknown and feel stuck as you struggle to create genuine change? Whatever you are facing, change is possible through hard work, self-awareness, and patience. I am a LPC in NJ with three years private practice experience, working together with my clients to identify and achieve their goals, towards genuine happiness.

Practice Details: • Telehealth only (no in-person sessions at this time) • Hours: Monday, Wednesday | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM •Tuesday & Thursday 10:am-12 pm. Closed evenings, Fridays, and weekends.

I am passionate about helping you rediscover your spark and your Joy! You may be feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your career, relationships, and other life challenges. You will discover that there's hope even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Let the parts of you that feel anxious, sad, angry, and/or exhausted guide you. What are these thoughts/feelings/emotions communicating to you about where you are? What path forward would you like to take as a result of this new understanding of yourself? I respect your ability to choose the course of action that is best for you.

My approach to Therapy and Life Coaching is client-centered, warm, compassionate & culturally sensitive. I am trained in various modalities, i.e., Family Systems Therapy, IFS, CBT, but ultimately I use what's best for my clients.

Every individual is unique, and their greatest strength lies within. I look forward to helping you on your unique journey to healing and wholeness! I work with individuals (18+), couples, and families, and commonly support clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
