I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most overwhelming and tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or postpartum, struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or working to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to do it alone.

I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health, helping clients adjust to identity changes, manage expectations, and process the emotional ups and downs that can come with trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I also work closely with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression, providing tools to reduce distress and build a greater sense of control and confidence.

For couples, I offer a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict in a more productive and meaningful way.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark

Finding the right OCD therapist in Newark starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is typically addressed with specialized approaches like exposure and response prevention (ERP) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Some people may choose to discuss treatment options, including medication support, with a qualified psychiatrist. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has direct experience working with OCD.

Newark has a range of mental health providers, and narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, speaks your language, or has experience with a specific OCD subtype. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.

Therapy in Newark can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
