I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.
Great to meet you! I am a practicing psychotherapist in New Jersey. I completed a Master's of Clinical Social Work from Rutgers University, and am a credentialed Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I've had 14 years of experience in providing counseling for individuals and couples. My professional experience includes work in a variety of mental health & addiction settings; ranging from inpatient psychiatric, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), crisis stabilization, routine outpatient community mental health, and my own private practice with individuals, groups, & couples. I have post-graduate training in trauma-informed treatment, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples), & integrative health coaching.

I'm a Georgia Peach with a New Jersey Swag. I am from Newark, New Jersey but I lived in Georgia for about 15yrs. I have that southern touch along with that New Jersey toughness. I love helping people obtain their goals in life. I have been in the field of counseling for over20yrs. I know counseling works because I've personally tried it. Counseling is my 2nd career in life and my combination of education and life experiences tends to be a great match for helping others.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. As a clinician with over 10 years of experience, I believe it is important to build a positive working relationship built on trust and respect and I strive to understand the challenges you are dealing with as well as your strengths and goals. My experience includes working with those struggling with anxiety and depression, trauma history, relationship and communication challenges, and those in need of coping skills and building confidence.
It takes a lot of courage to make positive changes in your life and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. You need someone who you can trust, who will partner with you to provide an accepting, honest and challenging therapeutic environment so you can build your ‘emotional muscles’ to create better relationships and a more satisfying and joyful life.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including agencies and EAP's in addition to my private practice. Those environments have shown me that while our own histories and circumstances are unique, we all have a common need to feel safe and respected in therapy. It is hard work to look at your life, recognize what you want to change, and then make choices that may feel uncomfortable but are needed to grow and thrive.
I have helped individuals, couples and families who were struggling with anxiety, depression, partner and family issues, trauma, substance abuse and more. I am dedicated to helping my clients tap into their resilience and create new choices so they can get unstuck from negative patterns.
Whether you choose me or another therapist, congratulations on seeking therapy--you made a courageous decision and it will benefit you greatly.

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.
