I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, 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.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark

Searching for therapists in Newark starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training fit your needs. A bio may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In Newark, your search may include therapists near downtown, the North Ward, the Ironbound, University Heights, and nearby Essex County communities. Location can matter if you prefer in-person care, especially when factoring in commute time, transit access, parking, or appointments near work or home. Virtual sessions can also make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule fits yours. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
