I graduated from Temple University with a BA of Social Work providing case management empowering parents to advocate for their child's medical , educational, and community needs. Then I graduated with a Masters of Social Work from Stockton University while growing my experiences as a case manager for a children's partial care program. Gaining further experience I provided individual and family therapy to children impacted by trauma. More recently I have expanded my scope of practice providing individual therapy to adults through an out patient setting.
Hello, I am glad you are here. Taking the first step towards your mental health is a big step, and I want you to know that you will be welcome with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. I earned my degree from Walden University and provide care for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and involved in your care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Highland Park, NJ
Searching for therapists in Highland Park starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare Highland Park therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Highland Park is a smaller community, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what to expect in the first appointment.
Therapy in Highland Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
