I have a trauma-informed approach and specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ clients; clients who are experiencing challenges in relationships (such as w/ a partner, friends, family or coworkers); and clients who are moving through changes or transitions in life. Whether you’re navigating emerging adulthood and "adulting" for the first time, redefining a relationship, coming out, exploring spirituality, grieving a loss, adjusting to an empty nest, or learning how to show up in life as your true authentic self, I am here to walk beside you on your journey!
I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.

My current focus is to provide therapy to individuals ages 5 to 65+ and over.

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.
