Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New Jersey

If you're a parent worried about your child, or a young person trying to keep it together — I see you, and I'm here to help.

Maybe your child is melting down in ways you can't explain. Maybe your teen is shutting down, struggling at school, or carrying something heavy that nobody's been able to name yet. Maybe you've tried to get help before and it didn't quite fit. Whatever brought you here, you're not overreacting — and you don't have to keep navigating this alone.

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.

Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I believe every person deserves a space where they feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and help you achieve meaningful, lasting change.

I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Forensic Psychology, with over 8 years of experience providing psychotherapy across outpatient, inpatient, crisis intervention, community mental health, and care coordination settings. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief, behavioral challenges, and complex mental health needs. My background also includes working with individuals experiencing crises, coordinating care across multidisciplinary teams, and advocating for clients to ensure they receive comprehensive, compassionate support.

As the founder of Bliss Community and Counseling Services LLC, I also provide forensic social work services, including forensic consultations, immigration-related psychosocial evaluations, and expert witness support when appropriate. My diverse professional background allows me to understand the many personal, family, medical, and legal factors that can affect mental health and healing.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life change, struggling with past trauma, or simply looking for a supportive place to grow, I am committed to meeting you with empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity. I strive to empower every client with the tools, confidence, and support needed to move forward and create a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or other emotional concerns. Seeking support is a courageous first step, and I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their unique experiences, identify barriers to well-being, and develop personalized treatment plans that support lasting growth and healing.
