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.
My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.
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. Since beginning my work in private practice, I primarily enjoy focusing my work with adults, ages 18 and older, who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, marriage/relationship problems, and life transitions.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that respects each individual’s unique background, culture, and experiences. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with my clients and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood.
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked with diverse individuals managing a variety of challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Elizabeth
Searching for therapists in Elizabeth starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for experience that matches your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
Elizabeth is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. You may want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios closely can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and whether the therapist’s availability fits your schedule.
Therapy in Elizabeth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that information clear before you book. You can search for Elizabeth therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, enter your insurance details to see estimated costs, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
