Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I provide therapy for individuals navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and postpartum adjustment, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who were raised by emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients find themselves struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of disconnection from who they truly are. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to break free or where to begin.

I also support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with this transition. Whether you’re becoming a parent, adjusting to new responsibilities, or rethinking your path in life or career, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, maternal mental health, and other mental health conditions using evidence-based psychopharmacology tailored to each individual’s needs. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, providing thoughtful, personalized care—particularly for individuals who have not found success with previous medication trials.

I believe that every individual deserves to be heard, respected, and treated with compassion. I take the time to understand each person's unique experiences, concerns, and goals before developing a treatment plan. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their mental health. Whether you are seeking care for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or other mental health concerns, I am committed to helping you find the treatment approach that best fits your needs.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


As a licensed professional counselor I provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, or challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative and built on warmth and trust. Together we will work to identify issues, past and present, with the goal of stability, healing and empowerment. Offering a holistic perspective, I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma and addiction (i.e. substance/alcohol abuse/dependency).

Other areas of practice include working with the LBGTQ+ community and parents and children. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma to infertility, relationships, or simply struggling to manage daily stress or recent change, I can help utilizing a strength-based and client-centered approach with treatment tailored to one’s unique needs

While this process may be challenging at times my hope is that in session you will find a non-judgmental space where your experience will be heard and you will leave feeling seen, supported, and more at ease. I look forward to working with you. Let the journey begin.

Therapist

I work with teens and adults, tailoring therapy to each person’s experiences, needs, and goals. I offer a supportive space to explore challenges, build coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of self.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, OCD, eating concerns, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, with experience supporting people navigating gender identity, gender dysphoria, and related personal and social challenges.

I draw from CBT, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and Motivational Interviewing, with Trauma-Focused CBT for adolescents when appropriate. Together, we work to understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. For teens, I involve parents or caregivers when appropriate while respecting the young person’s privacy and growing independence.
