Hi and Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in New York. I am a Board-Certified Counselor with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
Hello! I specialize in working with woman and adolescents, combining both nursing and psychotherapy techniques to address issues from a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial perspective, seeking to help clients improve holistically.
I have had the privilege of working as an individual and group therapist in numerous therapeutic settings. These experiences have allowed me to utilize various treatment modalities in order to empower the individuals I work with.
I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique and personal. My approach is tailored to fit an individual's specific needs. It is my goal to provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you identify, explore, and address what thoughts and behaviors may be interfering with living a balanced life. Through our work together, you will learn helpful tools and insights that will provide a sense of well-being that can help you achieve your personal goals in treatment.
I aim to empower you, provide you with useful strategies for success, and ultimately assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and what may be holding you back from reaching your individualized happiness. As we work together, you'll never have to feel alone on your journey to self-improvement and personal insight.
I have worked within the mental health field as a school psychologist and a licensed mental health professional for almost 30 years. my experience includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, children and adolescents, parenting skills, self-esteem, empowerment, life transitions, and divorce.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Deer Park
Searching for therapists in Deer Park starts with finding the kind of support that fits what you want to work on. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller community like Deer Park, the number of nearby in-person therapy offices may vary by schedule, specialty, and location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still helping you find someone licensed to see you. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show you how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Deer Park can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapist profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
