I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Felician University. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I work with clients navigating relationship issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, aging, phase-of-life transitions, career aspirations and changes, and parental challenges. In my therapy sessions, I create a safe and nurturing environment where every individual is welcome and valued. I understand that seeking support is a personal and sometimes vulnerable experience, so I prioritize warmth, respect, and openness. My approach is rooted in compassion, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they explore their thoughts and emotions. No matter their background or experiences, they can trust that therapy will be a space of acceptance, understanding, and growth.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City

Finding the right family therapist in Jersey City starts with identifying what your family is working through. Family therapists are licensed mental health professionals — including marriage and family therapists (MFTs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and psychologists — trained to work with parents, children, couples, and extended family members together. Common reasons families seek therapy include communication difficulties, parenting challenges, blended family adjustments, divorce or separation, and navigating major life changes.

Jersey City families in neighborhoods like Downtown, the Heights, and Journal Square have access to providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions. When comparing therapists, consider their experience with your family's specific concerns, their therapeutic approach, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Family therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive without insurance. Using 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, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a family therapist who fits your needs and your coverage.
