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.
Change happens when we feel safe enough to show up exactly as we are. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in authenticity, empathy, and trust—one where you can explore difficult emotions, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with yourself. Wherever you are in your journey, I'll meet you there while supporting you in creating meaningful and lasting change.
I am ready to listen and to help you in any way I can. I have helped many people reduce anxiety and depression and I would like to help you as well. I have worked with college students, new moms, men, people dealing with work/life balance, grief and loss and older adults who are going through various issues such as struggles with their adult children and health issues. Let's turn some of those tears into laughter. Let's talk.
I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of postpartum mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, weight management, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Newark, NJ
Searching for postpartum therapists in Newark starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum concerns, or credentials such as perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C). A therapist’s bio can also show whether their approach, communication style, and listed specialties fit what you’re looking for.
In Newark, your search may include therapists with offices near downtown, University Heights, the Ironbound, or nearby Essex County communities. In-person sessions may work well if commute time, transit access, or a regular office setting fits your schedule. Virtual appointments can also make care more accessible for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, feeding schedules, or changing availability. To narrow your options, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.
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 helps you search for postpartum therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, choose a therapist who accepts your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
