LGBT therapists in Newark, NJ

My work as a therapist has included supporting clients throughout various stages of life and throughout all walks of life. I am extremely passionate about providing my clients with an understanding, compassionate, non-judgmental space, where my clients can work towards creating and maintaining healthy relationships, not only with others, but also with themselves.

I aim to assist in overcoming the challenges and obstacles client’s are faced with in their day-to-day lives. Helping clients overcome challenges and obstacles surrounding, but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma and grief/bereavement.

I attended Rutgers University for my Bachelor’s degree and Master's degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in New Jersey

I have over 17 years experience working in the mental health field. I have extensive experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, transitions in life and grief. I meet clients where they are at to help them explore and process their patterns of thinking and the impact those patterns have on their daily functioning and goals.

My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.

Many people decide to seek counseling at critical and defining moments in their lives - and it is always a good choice. If you’re here because you’ve been struggling for a way out of a difficult situation, a stuck place, a set of old patterns, a maze of misguided choices or you’re just looking for an ally or extra support in your life, you’ve come to the right place.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and have experience working across a variety of settings, including outpatient counseling, community work, and crisis intervention.

My goal is to help my clients find a greater sense of purpose in life. My practice focuses on individual therapy for late teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults. If you are ready to set and achieve your personal goals, I am here to walk alongside you. I will provide you with a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions and memories.

I will challenge the way you think, help you establish coping skills, teach you effective communication, and ultimately be the best version of yourself!

I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.

I have an 27 years in the education system with working with children, adolescents, families and special needs children. I work with local mental health agencies in the state of New Jersey as well as school systems providing advocacy for children and families. Helping my clients reach their desired goals gives me true purpose and is one of my biggest passions in life.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with individuals who are balancing demanding responsibilities whether in caregiving roles, professional environments, or complex family systems and feel overwhelmed trying to manage everything on their own. I also work with professionals in healthcare, education, and other helping roles who are experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, or role-related stress.

My clinical background includes leadership roles in hospital-based behavioral health programs, including intensive community treatment and outpatient mental health services. I bring that depth of experience into my private practice by offering structured, practical support that helps clients regain stability, clarity, and confidence during difficult periods.
