My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.
Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in perinatal and maternal mental health, supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the many emotional changes that come with becoming a parent. I work with women experiencing postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, pregnancy-related stress, maternal burnout, overwhelm, self-esteem concerns, and difficult life transitions. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood while developing practical tools to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself again.
I also work with children and adolescents and bring more than seven years of experience as a school counselor into my therapy practice. I support younger clients navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, academic stress, self-esteem, emotional regulation, social challenges, and other social-emotional concerns. My background in schools allows me to understand the many factors that can affect a child or teen both at home and in the classroom.
Whether you’re struggling to adjust to motherhood, feeling unlike yourself during pregnancy or postpartum, navigating anxiety or burnout, or looking for support for your child or teen, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll work toward greater understanding, healthier coping skills, and meaningful change in a space where you can feel safe, supported, and heard.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Princeton
Searching for therapists in Princeton starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. Princeton therapists may support people working through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit your goals.
In a smaller city like Princeton, the local supply of in-person therapists may vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New Jersey while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before you book can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Princeton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance 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 accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse Princeton therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
