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.
I am a mental health counselor who graduated with my MSEd from St. John's University with my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate various theories and view counseling as integrative and eclectic approach to best suit needs of patients. Several which I use include:CBT, REBT, CPT, Behavior Therapy & Mindfulness-based Interventions including: (DBT, MBCT, & MBSR). I also use Motivational Interviewing (MI), Gestalt, Existential, SFBT (Solution-Focused Brief Therapy) & others.
Welcome! As a therapist, my mission is to cultivate a place for you to share your story and rediscover your strengths.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 6 years of experience, dedicated to helping people feel understood, supported, and empowered. I graduated summa cum laude from Rutgers with a Master’s in Rehabilitation and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, maternal mental health, and other mental health conditions using evidence-based psychopharmacology tailored to each individual’s needs. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, providing thoughtful, personalized care—particularly for individuals who have not found success with previous medication trials.
I believe that every individual deserves to be heard, respected, and treated with compassion. I take the time to understand each person's unique experiences, concerns, and goals before developing a treatment plan. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their mental health. Whether you are seeking care for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, I am committed to helping you find the treatment approach that best fits your needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Matawan
Searching for therapists in Matawan starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and can help you understand what sessions may feel like.
Matawan is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person options may vary across Matawan, Aberdeen, Keyport, Old Bridge, and the broader Monmouth County area. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping care tied to a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, has appointment times that fit your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and session structure.
Therapy in Matawan 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 find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists in Matawan, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
