Hi, I'm Maria and I've been in the mental health field for many years with experience in a variety of settings.
I specialize in working with those who are navigating chronic illness, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues and work-related stress. I work from a holistic approach in that I believe our mind, body and spirit can positively and/or negatively affect the other. I believe everyone is different and as such I work to ensure that the therapeutic strategies used in our sessions are tailored to each client.
Do you ever find yourself thinking about food all of the time? Are you consumed by guilt, shame, and regret over every food choice you make throughout the day? Does the number on the scale affect your mood and how you feel about yourself? Do you eat in private or in hiding? Do you constantly think about your next meal? Do you have a hard time identifying your hunger of fullness cues? Do you struggle with trusting your body? Does your fear of weight gain dictate your food choices or are you always trying a new "diet"? If this sounds like you, you are not alone. I am here to help you find relief and re-discover body acceptance.
Are you having trouble in life or in your relationships? I can offer the effective and compassionate support you need. I help clients to build rich, meaningful lives that are psychologically and physically more healthful. I earned my Master's degree in clinical social work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2014, and have over a decade of experience treating people presenting with a diverse range of psychological and emotional challenges. I specialize in helping people to heal their relationships and change destructive cycles. I honor the courage it takes for people to come to therapy and explore difficult issues, and strive to create a safe and empowering environment for my clients.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Jersey
Finding a therapist in New Jersey starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Think about the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or something else — and whether you'd prefer virtual sessions or in-person visits. New Jersey is home to a wide range of licensed providers, including licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists, each with different training and areas of focus.
With so many providers practicing across the state, narrowing your options can take time. Reading a provider's bio is one of the most useful steps you can take. Look for details about their approach, the populations they work with, and what a session with them looks like. A free phone consultation, when available, can also help you decide if a provider feels like the right match before you commit.
Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage and location.
