Whether you are in a place of uncertainty and desperation or hoping to reach your utmost potential, I congratulate you for making this step in taking control of your life and facing your challenges. Every individual, whether you are a parent, student, professional, athlete or performer, endures pain or confusion at some point in life. As a professional support to you, I feel privileged to assist you, without judgement, in reclaiming a life of peace and control that you so rightly deserve.


My specialty is "trauma", which is a broad term. Any experience that leaves you feeling unsafe, confused, insecure or unloved can be traumatic. I work with sexual abuse, violent and workplace trauma, natural disasters, infidelity and all the anxieties that may come with trying to cope with these issues.


I use an eclectic approach because no one modality fits every person and every situation. I use psychotherapy techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis and EMDR. I also continually attend conferences to stay current with the best and newest forms of treatments.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Newark, NJ

Finding addiction therapists in Newark starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, opioid-related concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists focus on approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, relapse prevention, or harm reduction. If medication may be part of your care, you may also want a prescriber on your care team.

Newark offers a range of mental health care options, from in-person offices near downtown, University Heights, and the Ironbound to virtual appointments that may fit more easily into a busy schedule. When comparing therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to addiction care. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to find a therapist who has experience with harm reduction, understands substance use concerns, and uses clear, respectful communication.

Addiction therapy in Newark 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 you book. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and share detailed bios, so you can compare fit, review estimated costs, confirm coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
