My passion is to provide psychotherapy to individual adults and late teens.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.

I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.

I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.

My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.

I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Brooklyn, NY

Finding postpartum therapists in Brooklyn starts with looking for experience in perinatal mental health care. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties in postpartum, prenatal depression, maternal mental health therapy, or perinatal support. A PMH-C credential can also signal advanced training in care during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

Brooklyn has many therapists across neighborhoods, but the right match also needs to fit your schedule, location, and care needs. For new parents, virtual therapy can make it easier to meet with a therapist during unpredictable schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, experience as a therapist for new moms, and what sessions may look like before you book.

Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
