Virtual • New Jersey


Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.

My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.

If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.

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.
