Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • Clark, NJ


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults and adolescents manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, life transitions, and substance-related concerns.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and goal-focused. I use evidence-based strategies, including CBT and exposure-based work, to help clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes in daily life.

I believe therapy does not have to be reserved only for moments of crisis. It can be helpful for anyone who wants to manage stress more effectively, improve relationships, strengthen emotional control, or feel more confident in how they handle life’s demands.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Jersey City, NJ

Finding addiction therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, or concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction-informed care, or coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.

Jersey City has a mix of local therapy options, from downtown offices near transit to virtual appointments that make it easier to find a therapist beyond your closest neighborhood. For addiction care, fit also includes how a therapist describes their approach. Many people look for a therapist who has experience with nonjudgmental support, harm reduction frameworks, relapse prevention, or substance use counseling. Read therapist profiles before booking to understand their specialties, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare Jersey City therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
