Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Brooklyn, NY


I believe therapy should be a space where you can be completely yourself without fear of judgment. I am a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) with over 10 years of clinical experience and have been in private practice for the past seven years. I earned my Master's degree in Art Therapy from New York University and previously worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in inpatient psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and person-centered, incorporating CBT, DBT, art therapy, and additional training in Jungian and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed approaches. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been working in the mental health field since 1996. I bring significant experience working in underserved communities as a psychotherapist, Clinical Director, and Program Director of multiple homeless shelters serving families, single adults, and adult couples without children. These experiences imbued me with deep experience working with individuals with complex trauma, PTSD, substance use and abuse issues, immigration trauma, and serious mental illness. Additionally, I work with couples, families, and high-achieving high-net worth individuals from diverse personal and professional backgrounds.

I'm a graduate of Fordham University’s prestigious Graduate School of Social Service, where I later went on to teach as an Adjunct Professor of Social Work. Additionally, I'm a graduate of the Practitioner Program in Gestalt Therapy from Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York, as well as a Certified Integrated Feeling Therapist, both experiential, body-based modalities.

I have been a family nurse practitioner since 2008 and board certified in psychiatry since 2024. As a provider I have always had a focus on mental health, as it is key to whole health! I have a background in palliative care and have extensive experience working with adult and geriatric patients. I am cisgender and straight but I welcome working with the LGBTQ+ community. I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and/or PTSD.

Please note that I do not treat ADHD with stimulant medications.

As a telehealth-only provider, I am unable to accept all clients. We will meet for an initial consult to see if we are a good fit, prior to committing to working with each other. I look forward to meeting you!

As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe that mental health is essential for maintaining happiness, well-being, and a sense of security. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking help is a courageous act, and showing vulnerability is a true sign of strength, not weakness.

I've been married for 30 years and have two adult daughters.

I incorporate emerging evidence-based treatments that support neuro-plasticity and expanded awareness.
