Find a therapist in New Jersey — covered by insurance

I have been a practicing therapist for over 10 years. I have helped many whom have felt overwhelmed and stuck. Many of my clients initially feel like they are unable to get out of your own way, depressed, anxious, in grief, or have past trauma continues to weigh them down. Sometimes with aging or facing illness one may not sure where to turn as you transition through life. Don't give up! Allow me to offer you therapeutic intervention and problem-solving techniques that will help you cope with your feelings, emotions, and life circumstances. Let me help you navigate and discover the possibility of feeling better. I specialize in adults and older adults struggling with life's transitions.

I offer a warm, welcoming, safe, and supportive space to allow you to feel heard and understood. Together, we will collaboratively explore patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that my be contributing to your mood. We can look at ways to manage depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, or a possible mood disorder to help you get past your past.

Together we can look at ultimately, creating a more meaningful life.

As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.

It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!

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.

I support individuals who feel depleted by constantly managing stress, expectations, and emotional demands. Together, we explore the fears, beliefs, and burdens that make it hard to rest or feel settled. As you build inner steadiness and clarity, it becomes easier to live with balance, authenticity, and a deeper sense of ease.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked with diverse individuals managing a variety of challenges. I earned my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from La Salle University and I've trained in a variety of mental health settings including community mental health, hospital based psychiatric programs, and behavioral medicine settings.
