Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Newark, NJ covered by Cigna

Hello! I'm a licensed professional counselor who's dedicated the past 10+ years to supporting individuals on their journey towards personal growth and emotional well-being. I received my Masters in Counseling from Kean University in NJ. My practice has focused on working with children, teens, adults and seniors. My areas of specialization are Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and many other general mental health concerns.

Welcome! As a therapist, my mission is to cultivate a place for you to share your story and rediscover your strengths. I integrate my education, training, and lived experience to create an informed, compassionate practice built on mutual trust and safety. Contact me and we can begin to write your next chapters, together.

Great to meet you!

I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of patient care experience, specializing in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma‐related concerns. I completed advanced graduate training in psychopharmacology and trauma‐informed care. I provide warm, collaborative medication management for adults and teens across Washington and New Jersey, through online sessions. My clinical philosophy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe treatment works best when clients feel heard, respected, and supported. Together, we’ll build a plan that feels safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

I've been doing this work for a long time, and one of the things that sets me apart is that I've also worked on the other side of the healthcare system - managing behavioral health benefits for a major insurer. I know how confusing and frustrating it can be to navigate insurance, and I want that to be one less thing you have to worry about when you're trying to take care of yourself. I trained at Adelphi University and I've worked with individuals across a wide range of settings — private practice, state-level consulting, and agency work. My clients tend to be adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. I work with people from all backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I practice fully online, which means you can see me from wherever you are in New York or New Jersey - no commute, no waiting room.

I'm a great listener who always seeks to empower and uplift my clients. I like to create a safe, judgement free space where someone will feel encouraged to express themselves while working on solutions collectively.

If you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression, you’ve found a warm and steady place to start. I’m a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and mindfulness has been a deeply important part of my own life and my work for nearly 30 years. Over the years, I’ve completed intensive meditation training in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States, experiences that have profoundly shaped how I understand healing, presence, and the connection between mind and body. I’d be honored to bring all of that to you.
