You’re the one people count on. You show up, check the boxes, keep things running—and most people have no idea how heavy it’s been to carry it all. Lately, the stress is harder to hide. You might find yourself lying awake at night replaying conversations, saying “yes” when you wish you’d said “no,” or feeling disconnected from the person you used to be. On the outside, you’re holding it together. On the inside, you’re exhausted, anxious, and wondering if life is supposed to feel this heavy.

We all need space to prioritize our thoughts and feelings, to say what we need to say out loud, to someone who will not judge us for how we think and feel. Oftentimes, we cannot expect the people in our lives to be impartial or unbiased. Sometimes the people in our lives are far too involved in what causes us to need this space, to process our trauma, and they might not realize why we are anxious or depressed. In the therapeutic relationship, it is all about what you want and need. I will listen and ask thoughtful questions and help you recognize patterns and make connections. Life is a journey and I want you to welcome self-exploration, not fear it.

Your well being is important to me. I am passionate about this work because I am passionte about the healing we all deserve. Uncomfortable emotions sound the alarm to what distresses us and harkens us back to all the feeling memories related to the emotional hurt we feel right now. In therapy, we can get to know your attachment style and the way experience emotional disconnection when it occurs in your relationships today. Emotional connection is so important to our experience of safety in the world, and I want to help you to validate the defenses you learned and earned to help you survive and cope. I work with couples and individuals experiencing emotional distress. I aim to validate your needs to communicate your distress, to make sure that distress matters and is understood. From there we can work on cultivating the compassion and care you have for you and others and help you find the peace and happiness you deserve to survive and thrive. I follow a stepwise process. I objectively notice and intervene where it matters most. Together we collaborate to acknowledge, aim and validate the reasons for protest or withdrawal when that occurs. Therapy is a soothing process and instills a growth mindset. When we slow down to experience your authentic core feelings in session, I work to give you the safety you deserve to make sure a secure attachment connection can happen. I care for individuals, couples and families. I help my clients to develop their own personal map of self-protective relationship reactions that challenge or derail risk taking for authentic connection and self-actualization. As your therapist, I want to be a helper and guide you to know and share your authentic self in the ways you desire. We all need and want nurture, care and protection and when we take care of important feeling moments, life almost magically organically takes care of us.

I’m a warm, insight-oriented therapist who offers a steady, compassionate space for adults navigating grief, relational wounds, and the impact of growing up around emotional chaos or inconsistency. My approach is grounded in deep listening and curiosity—I help clients slow down and make sense of their inner experience, uncovering patterns that may have once been protective but now feel limiting. Together, we create room for new ways of relating—to yourself, to others, and to your story. Healing, in my work, begins with being deeply seen and understood.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Jersey rather than a city like Newark?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Jersey from Jersey City to Paterson! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Jersey.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
