I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.
I believe the potential for healing is inherently human - and incredibly accessible.

I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals who are struggling to find their way in a complicated world. My practice offers a space for anyone who is looking for a sense of shelter and refuge where they can breathe, process their thoughts and feelings and find meaning in their life. I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and develop internal strength and resilience. It is my goal to empower those who are seeking new ways of looking at themselves and their relationships. Talk therapy has the ability to soothe our hearts and minds. More than ever, we need to find ways to reprogram our fear-driven minds.
As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I am a firm believer in the importance of taking care of your mental health. I have worked with individuals, families, and groups of all ages, supporting clients through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.
Life begins when you know who you are. But the path to self-knowledge can be fraught and hard to find. “Be yourself,” “create yourself,” “find yourself”–these are some of the injunctions that might waylay any earnest seeker. When we learn to sit with the uncomfortable parts of self–the parts that make us want to crawl out of our skin–revelation can occur.
Talk therapy can be a place to learn how to be interested in ourselves and in our past. When we learn to love ourselves the way we wish to be loved, our relationships can flourish. We can deepen our genuine interest in others. When it works, psychotherapy can inspire incredible capacity and resolve to bend towards the future and embrace change

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hempstead, NY
Searching for therapists in Hempstead starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits what you are looking for.
In Hempstead, local therapist availability may vary, so virtual appointments can give you more options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New York. Some people prefer an office close to Hempstead, Garden City, West Hempstead, or nearby Long Island communities. Others choose virtual sessions that fit better with their schedule. To narrow your search, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Hempstead 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 starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
