Taking your first step toward healing is often the most challenging and here you are! I have over 25 years of experience providing therapeutic services to individuals of all ages. I earned a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College in Springfield, MA in 2004 and I became licensed in the state of New Jersey in 2008 as a Licensed Professional Counselor. My current focus is to provide therapy to individuals ages 5 to 65+ and over.
I’m a Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with experience working with substance use and co-occurring mental health across multiple levels of care. I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and recovery.
I believe therapy should feel authentic, not overly clinical or surface-level. I value genuine human connection and creating a space where you feel seen, understood, and not judged. My goal is to help you make sense of what you’re going through, build coping skills that actually work, and create meaningful, lasting change—not just temporary fixes.
The essential element of any relationship is trust. I believe positive outcomes result from building an authentic connection between the therapist and the client. Although I have a diverse background, education, and experience, compassion and trust are the most influential components for addressing life's challenges in therapy.
My goal is to free you up to live your life uninterrupted from negative feelings and doubt. It would be a sincere pleasure to get to know you and work with you on your journey to feel like your best self.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Florida and NJ. Feel free to reach out for an initial consultation to see if we would be a good fit!

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.
