I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University and have a diverse clinical background that extends beyond traditional outpatient therapy. Before focusing on psychotherapy, I spent many years working as a medical social worker and care coordinator in hospital and community health settings. During that time, I supported individuals and families navigating medical and behavioral health concerns, chronic illness, substance use, domestic violence, psychiatric crises, and other difficult life circumstances.
These experiences have shaped the way I practice today. I understand that emotional well-being is often connected to relationships, physical health, family dynamics, work, identity, sexuality, and the practical pressures of everyday life. Rather than looking at a concern in isolation, I try to understand the larger context of what you are experiencing and how the different parts of your life may be affecting one another.

I aim to cultivate a space that is neurodiversity affirming and chronic illness informed. I value creating a safe, inclusive space for clients to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
My work is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel safe enough to stop fighting ourselves — and from there, we can begin the journey of coming home to who we truly are. I integrate creative, somatic, and trauma-informed practices in the therapeutic process.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Newark
Finding OCD therapists in Newark starts with looking for the right training, not just a general therapy match. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, checking, or anxiety connected to OCD, review therapist profiles for listed experience with OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and related concerns.
Newark offers both local office options and virtual therapy, which can help you compare more therapists across the area. In a mid-size market, it helps to narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their profile shows specific ERP training rather than general familiarity with OCD. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a therapist describes their approach, session structure, and experience with obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
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. Headway makes it easier to search for OCD therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, confirm your coverage on Headway, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can browse therapist profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you are ready.
