I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most overwhelming and tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or postpartum, struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or working to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to do it alone.

I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health, helping clients adjust to identity changes, manage expectations, and process the emotional ups and downs that can come with trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I also work closely with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression, providing tools to reduce distress and build a greater sense of control and confidence.

For couples, I offer a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict in a more productive and meaningful way.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Newark

Finding couples therapists in Newark starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. You may want to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist trained in couples methods like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.

Newark offers a range of local therapy options, while nearby commute patterns, transit access, and work schedules can shape what feels practical. For couples therapy, the right fit also needs to work for both partners. Consider appointment availability, virtual or in-person format, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation to discuss fit before booking. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate with couples, and approach relationship concerns.

Couples therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket responsibility before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may accept a range of insurance plans depending on your location and coverage. You can review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, 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.
