Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.6 mi away • Wyckoff, NJ


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience, I have been helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful personal growth. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, supporting clients through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family difficulties.

My goal is to provide a comfortable, accepting space where clients can feel heard, gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward a greater sense of confidence and fulfillment. I bring warmth, empathy, authenticity, and definitely some humor to my work. I believe that therapy should feel both supportive and empowering.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two daughters, and my crazy dog Kelly. I love reading, practicing hot yoga, hiking with my family.

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 Ridgewood

Searching for therapists in Ridgewood starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want care for. People often look for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience supporting specific life stages. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and whether their approach feels aligned with what you want from therapy.

Ridgewood has local therapy options, but availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy with a New Jersey therapist can expand your options while still giving you access to care from home. You may also prefer an in-person office near central Ridgewood, Glen Avenue, or nearby Bergen County communities if location is a key part of your routine. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before you choose can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a good fit.

Therapy in Ridgewood 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 find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Ridgewood, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
