Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.


My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.


Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.


We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.

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 Hackensack

Finding the right therapist in Hackensack starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Consider whether you're looking for help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and approaches. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Hackensack is home to a wide range of licensed mental health providers, many of whom also serve nearby Bergen County communities like Teaneck, Maywood, and River Edge. Providers on Headway offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule. Many also offer a free phone consultation, giving you a chance to connect before committing to a session.

Therapy in the Hackensack area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — though costs vary based on your location and specific coverage.
