Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.
Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.
I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. You can expect me to bring warmth, curiosity, and clear feedback to our work together. I’m not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back, but always from a place of empathy and respect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and build the emotional skills needed to feel more grounded and in control of your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Newark
Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Newark starts with finding identity-affirming care that matches your needs. An LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist may support people exploring sexuality, gender identity, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience with LGBTQIA+ communities. This can help you find a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach align with the kind of support you want.
Newark offers both local office visits and virtual therapy options, which can help widen your search for an affirming therapist. If nearby options feel limited, virtual appointments may make it easier to find therapists specializing in gender identity, sexuality therapy, counseling for LGBTQIA+ concerns, or support for couples and families. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with LGBTQIA+ populations before you book.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
