Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New Jersey

I have over 10 years of experience in a wide variety of clinical settings since obtaining my Master's degree and becoming a licensed clinician. I use a client centered approach that draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, and a trauma-informed approach. I have worked with people struggling with addictions, a wide variety of anxiety related difficulties, ADHD, depression, and some bodily focused repetitive behaviors. I also have experience working with couples to address relationship needs.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, anger, stress, depression, or relationship struggles start piling up. You may be trying to hold everything together while feeling exhausted, distracted, or disconnected from the people you care about. Whether you're navigating family issues, trauma, or challenges unique to men’s mental health, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can give you space to breathe, understand yourself more clearly, and make real changes that finally move you forward.

Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my masters in social work from Kean University. I work with teenagers and adults who are motivated to make positive changes in their everyday life. I work with a wide range of mental health challenges such as life transitions, substance use and addiction, anxiety, or depression. This could be someone who feels like they don't fit into a specific place in this world, feels lost, struggling to find their identity in their teenage years, or has fear/anxiety presenting.

I am a board certified licensed professional counselor. I've worked in several levels of care with many different populations ranging from substance abuse to anxiety and depression. Additionally, I've done a lot of work with the young adult and adolescent populations.

The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.

Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.

I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and let's start working together toward the future you envision. I have over ten years of experience in the mental health field; I obtained my Master's degree in social work from New York University and my doctorate in social work from Rutgers University.

I am a bilingual therapist and school counselor dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through challenging times. I create a safe, supportive, and judgement free space where clients feel heard and empowered. My approach is led by compassion, collaboration, and strength base to foster a healthy lifestyle.
