Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of their mental health. I received my MA in Counseling from Webster University. I have extensive training and success in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD for all ages. I am here to walk together with you on your healing journey and offer perspectives and techniques that will improve your everyday life.
Feeling overwhelmed? Believe you aren't good enough? Dealing with grief/loss? Struggling to adjust to life challenges (health problems, career, college, infertility)? Experiencing relationship difficulties? Want to learn how to effectively communicate with others? I'm eager to hear your story. I'll encourage you to express your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. From there, we will work together to identify problematic beliefs and behaviors impacting different aspects of your life with the goal of gaining a new perspective and using your strengths to create a healthy lifestyle.
My clinical training was in adult psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from Florida International University and a PhD in Social Welfare from the City University of New York Graduate Center.
I specialize in working with adults who feel excluded in one way or another either at work, in their family, community, or society at large--immigrants, people of color, those with disabilities, LGBTQ+, etc. Even if you don't identify yourself in these ways, being treated as if you don't belong can impact parts of your life and I want to provide you support.
I generally assist adults with depression, anxiety, health problems, relationship issues, grief/loss, work stress, school issues, infertility, and parenting. My approach is warm, interactive and non-judgmental. I believe in collaborating with my clients to tailor a treatment plan to fit their unique needs. Depending on your goals in therapy, I generally incorporate a strength-based approach using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing techniques and/or psychodynamic approaches to help increase self-awareness, engage in problem solving skills and teach positive coping strategies.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Finding the right therapist in Newark starts with getting clear on what you need. Consider whether you're looking for help with a specific concern — like anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist) who has experience with your particular situation. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you reach out.
Newark is home to a wide range of mental health providers, and many offer both in-person and virtual sessions. If location and scheduling flexibility matter to you, virtual therapy with a New Jersey-licensed provider can open up more options. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers — can also help you decide if someone is the right match before you commit to a session.
Therapy in the Newark area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
