Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


My approach to therapy is rooted in natural, holistic, and integrative healing. I believe mental health is deeply connected to the whole person, including the mind, body, emotions, environment, relationships, sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and daily lifestyle patterns. I approach all concerns through a holistic lens, including anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, I work with clients to understand the full picture of what may be impacting their emotional well-being and overall balance.

I have strong knowledge of nutritional psychology and the connection between food, mood, energy, stress, inflammation, sleep, and mental health. I consider how factors such as circadian rhythm, the gut-brain axis, the vagus nerve, nutrition, and nervous system regulation may influence emotional wellness. I believe that what we eat, how we care for our bodies, how we rest, and the routines we create can all play an important role in supporting mental health.

I did not choose the profession of social work—the profession chose me.

My journey began while working in customer service at a local grocery store. Even then, I recognized that I had a natural connection with people. I found myself listening, encouraging, and helping individuals navigate difficult situations and connect with the social systems and resources they needed. Looking back, I can see that those experiences were preparing me for the work I would eventually be called to do.

My journey into social work was not simply a career choice; it was part of God's plan for my life. The Lord placed a promise in my heart that I would earn my master's degree at the age of 44. I held onto that promise even when the journey was challenging.

At the age of 44, I was awarded my Master of Social Work degree, fulfilling a promise I believed God had made to me.

Today, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I consider it an honor to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life's challenges, discover their strengths, and work toward meaningful growth and change.

My journey has taught me that sometimes the path we are on is greater than the path we originally planned—and what we believe is simply a career can become a calling.

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.
