As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience, I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. Having worked with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!
Beginning therapy is a wonderful challenge and opportunity, one that I am committed to partnering in. My work often focuses on helping clients enact change, manage symptoms, cultivate meaning and live authentically. Additionally, my therapeutic stance is open, empathic and collaborative, creating a non-judgmental space to connect in the valued areas of your life. I am committed to considering the multifaceted aspects of your identity, in understanding your lived experience and moving towards your goals.
I provide therapy for individuals navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and postpartum adjustment, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who were raised by emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients find themselves struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of disconnection from who they truly are. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to break free or where to begin.
I also support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with this transition. Whether you’re becoming a parent, adjusting to new responsibilities, or rethinking your path in life or career, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
I work with adults who are carrying more than they let on — people who show up for everyone else and aren't quite sure how to show up for themselves. My clients come to me with anxiety that runs in the background of their lives, grief that doesn't fit neatly into a timeline, relationships that feel harder than they should, and transitions that have left them questioning who they are now. I'm a Black therapist, and I bring that fully into the room. For clients seeking a culturally affirming space — someone who gets the weight of navigating identity, community expectations, and mental health at the same time — I want you to know you don't have to explain yourself here. I work exclusively with adults 18 and older via telehealth across New Jersey. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon, and I keep sessions to 60 minutes so we can go deep without rushing. Healing isn't linear, and I'm not going to pretend it is — but I'll be with you through all of it.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of New York, Colorado, and New Jersey, I've had the opportunity to work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families in various settings. While providing behavioral health supports, I've had the ability to partner through the process of healing wounds that serve as an impediment to wellness.
Within my practice, I utilize Brainspotting, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma focused, play therapy, and solution focused therapy to aid in reaching a state of homeostasis.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with teens, and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.
I believe that every person has strengths, even when life feels overwhelming. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and empowered. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way, build practical tools that fit your life, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Montclair
Searching for therapists in Montclair starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their approach, what sessions may feel like, and which concerns they commonly support.
Montclair has a strong local mental health community, but the right appointment may depend on availability, location, and format. If nearby offices in Upper Montclair, Downtown Montclair, or surrounding Essex County areas have limited openings, virtual therapy with a New Jersey therapist can expand your options. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and whether the therapist’s approach fits what you are looking for.
Therapy in Montclair can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Montclair, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
