I believe that healing begins with a genuine connection. As a therapist, I'm committed to creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I have experience working in mental health settings, academia, faith-based ministries, and non-profit organizations, all interwoven with a break for 15+ years of full time parenting. My experience includes working with anxiety, life transitions, cancer, ADHD, and issues related to the BIPOC community.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience, I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. Having worked with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!
Beginning therapy is a wonderful challenge and opportunity, one that I am committed to partnering in. My work often focuses on helping clients enact change, manage symptoms, cultivate meaning and live authentically. Additionally, my therapeutic stance is open, empathic and collaborative, creating a non-judgmental space to connect in the valued areas of your life. I am committed to considering the multifaceted aspects of your identity, in understanding your lived experience and moving towards your goals.
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.
I work with adults who are carrying more than they let on — people who show up for everyone else and aren't quite sure how to show up for themselves. My clients come to me with anxiety that runs in the background of their lives, grief that doesn't fit neatly into a timeline, relationships that feel harder than they should, and transitions that have left them questioning who they are now. I'm a Black therapist, and I bring that fully into the room. For clients seeking a culturally affirming space — someone who gets the weight of navigating identity, community expectations, and mental health at the same time — I want you to know you don't have to explain yourself here. I work exclusively with adults 18 and older via telehealth across New Jersey. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon, and I keep sessions to 60 minutes so we can go deep without rushing. Healing isn't linear, and I'm not going to pretend it is — but I'll be with you through all of it.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Trenton
Searching for therapists in Trenton starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what to expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Trenton, your local options may depend on office location, schedule, and current availability. Virtual appointments can expand your search across New Jersey while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Trenton neighborhoods like Downtown, Chambersburg, or Old Mill Hill, or virtual sessions that fit your calendar. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, communication style, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Trenton 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, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
