Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Teaneck, NJ


I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.

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.
