Hello, and welcome. Deciding to start therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is essential to your journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nassau County, Long Island. Over the years, my professional background has been rooted in supporting individuals through life's transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth.
I’m a Clinical Social Worker with more than 32 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, school stress, and major life transitions. I also specialize in crisis intervention, parenting support, digital wellness, and social media-related concerns. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can begin.
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.
Do you feel like your life lacks joy, meaning and connection? Do you feel the overwhelming weight of your responsibilities? Are you tired of "just getting by"? Are you ready to have more positive emotional connections to your experiences? It's time to raise the bar of living from "surviving" to "enjoying"! Together we will go on a journey to explore a deeper way of living that allows you to feel joy in a world full of stress. I will teach you how to strongly connect to your life (self, relationships, job, hobbies, etc.) in a fulfilling way. I will help you build practical skills to feel more organized, focused, and in control of your daily life by improving efficiency, managing time and tasks, and reducing the overwhelm that often interferes with well-being.
Hello , I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working with teens and adults. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. My priority is to create a therapeutic relationship in a safe, judgement free space.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hicksville
Searching for therapists in Hicksville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show how a therapist works, including approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Hicksville is a smaller local market, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and insurance fit. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New York while still giving you access to licensed therapists who can meet from a private space that works for 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 help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Hicksville 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 care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and offer direct scheduling when you are ready. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly with someone who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
