Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Tinton Falls, 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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City

Finding a postpartum therapist in Jersey City starts with identifying the type of support you need. Perinatal mental health concerns — including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and mood changes during or after pregnancy — are common, and support from a qualified healthcare professional may help. Look for a licensed provider such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist with specific experience in maternal mental health. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which indicates advanced training in this area.

With many providers practicing across Jersey City and Hudson County, narrowing your options can take time — especially as a new parent. Consider what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions you can attend from home, one who uses a specific approach like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or one whose schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Jersey City 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 costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
