Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, anger, grief, or major life transitions, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, struggling to manage difficult emotions, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating family conflict, relationship difficulties, women's issues, or the lasting impact of difficult life experiences that continue to affect their confidence, daily life, and overall well-being.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor serving adolescents and adults in Florida and New Jersey, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your struggles, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support emotional resilience, healthier relationships, greater confidence, and long-term emotional well-being.

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, family or relationship concerns, women's issues, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you create meaningful and lasting change.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — 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 therapist in Jersey City starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

Jersey City has a large and diverse provider community, with therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions across neighborhoods like Downtown, The Heights, Journal Square, and Greenville. Practical factors matter too: consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person visits, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's communication style feels like a good match. A free phone consultation can help you decide before booking your first appointment.

Therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.
