Grief counselors and therapists in Jersey City, NJ

I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of postpartum mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, weight management, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

I have served individuals and families in various settings including substance abuse treatment programs, community mental health centers, schools, and private group practice. I work with clients on developmental trauma, substance use, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, identity formation, life transitions, grief, relationship difficulties, anger management, and conflict resolution.

I have worked as a therapist for around 20 years helping individuals overcome challenges ranging from common life stressors to severe mental illnesses. My first goal is to truly understand the factors that brought you into therapy. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment while also bringing a sense of humor to help you feel more relaxed and at ease. My connection with you is my top priority for us to get into the “work” of therapy.
