Seeking support is one of the most courageous steps you can take, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel heard, understood, and empowered—not judged. My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building the skills and confidence to move toward the life you want.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and trauma. I also enjoy supporting high-achieving professionals who often appear to have everything together on the outside while quietly carrying overwhelming emotional burdens behind the scenes.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and comfortable.

My approach is personalized because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, and strengths-based techniques to help clients develop practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're struggling with overwhelming anxiety, navigating a difficult relationship, healing from painful experiences, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the space to reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I'm here to meet you where you are, and together we'll work toward helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.

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.
