I wanted to become a psychotherapist since I was 9 years old, after reading an article written by a psychologist about fear. I got my BA in Psychology from Iona College and my master's from Yeshiva University. I began to provide psychotherapy after the aftermath of 9/11. I have provided psychotherapy at a hospital, schools, in-home, and at an outpatient clinic.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of VA. I understand that life can be stressful. Sometimes we, as human beings, struggle. You may feel like you are being pulled in many directions or you may be struggling with depression or anxiety.
I work with people from many walks of life. If you are struggling with past trauma, depression, anxiety, or something else, I would like the opportunity to help you on your journey. We can work together towards your goals.

Hello! I am a dedicated professional with 25 years of experience helping children, teens, adults and families navigate life and relationship challenges. I bring a sense of humor and warmth to my work and believe in helping you achieve your goals.
What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.
Perhaps you experience a racing heart or constantly overthinking conversations. You may even experience a debilitating dread making small tasks feel impossible. Maybe you are a high-achiever who looks successful on the outside but feels overwhelmed and stuck on the inside.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 25 years. I am down to earth and I am told that I make it easy to open up. I believe in a holistic approach that is goal oriented. I specialize in mood disorders and abuse/addiction issues
I earned my Masters in Social Work at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am licensed in NJ and CA.
Welcome, I believe mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I’ve been practicing for 20 years, with my main focus of practice being anxiety and life transitions.

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.
