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.

Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain? Life's challenges and transitions can leave us feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of the next step. You don't have to face them alone.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

Together, we'll identify patterns that may be holding you back, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical coping strategies that support lasting growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different—it's about reconnecting with the person you are and creating a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. I would be honored to support you on that journey.

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 New Jersey

Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.

The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
