I have worked on my own growth and awareness since I was 19 yrs old. Therapy helped change my life and old patterns that I developed in my early years. I have made tremendous changes in who I am and how I cope. I would like to help you do that too.
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.
I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology from New York University and have experience working across a variety of settings, including outpatient counseling, community work, and crisis intervention.
My goal is to help my clients find a greater sense of purpose in life. My practice focuses on individual therapy for late teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults. If you are ready to set and achieve your personal goals, I am here to walk alongside you. I will provide you with a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions and memories.
I will challenge the way you think, help you establish coping skills, teach you effective communication, and ultimately be the best version of yourself!
Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve spent over 10 years working with individuals and families of all ages, helping them tackle life’s challenges—from anxiety and depression to trauma, life transitions, and family dynamics (and everything in between). I’m all about creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up just as you are.

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.
