Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


With over ten years of clinical experience providing both individual and group counseling across diverse settings, I am well-equipped to support you through life's heaviest transitions. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, and everyday life stressors where you just need an unbiased sounding board. Additionally, I am deeply well-versed in the specialized treatment needs of perinatal and postpartum populations, as well as first responders and Veterans.

A major focus of my practice is supporting women navigating the profound shifts of pregnancy, fertility challenges, and the postpartum period. These journeys can be beautiful, but they can also feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or the intense stress of becoming a new mother, please know you don’t have to carry it alone. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel deeply heard, supported, and understood.

Whether you are navigating a complex maternal mental health challenge or coping with severe daily stress, I bring a grounded, highly versatile approach to your care. Let’s work together to help you rediscover your strength and find your footing.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.
