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.
I am a Mental Health Counselor & National Certified Counselor with experience counseling all ages. I will work with you through a variety of transitional stages during your life- including life changes, relationships, daily stress, struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and all that life brings. I enjoy tailoring sessions towards the needs of each individual!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Rutgers University (MSW). With 18 years of experience as a therapist, my belief is that we are born with the ability to self-generate the changes we might be seeking at any point in one's life-span.
I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.
My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.
Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.
Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Newark, NJ
Searching for postpartum therapists in Newark starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum concerns, or credentials such as perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C). A therapist’s bio can also show whether their approach, communication style, and listed specialties fit what you’re looking for.
In Newark, your search may include therapists with offices near downtown, University Heights, the Ironbound, or nearby Essex County communities. In-person sessions may work well if commute time, transit access, or a regular office setting fits your schedule. Virtual appointments can also make care more accessible for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, feeding schedules, or changing availability. To narrow your options, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, choose a therapist who accepts your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
