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.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental presence. I work collaboratively and at a reflective pace, creating a space where you can explore emotions and creativity without pressure to perform or “get it right.” Music is always an invitation, not a requirement. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more connected to yourself.
I have been in private practice as a psychologist for the past 30+ years and I can honestly say that I remain passionate about and dedicated to the work that I do as a therapist. I have a BA in Psychology and Human Biology from Stanford University and a Masters in Public Health from Yale University. My doctorate in Clinical Psychology is from The Graduate Center, C.U.N.Y and I completed training as a psychoanalyst at the NYU Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with Individual adults and adolescents, many of whom identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity. I have an MSW degree from NYU, where I interned with a psychoanalytic institute. I also earned a BA in Philosophy from The New School.
When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Long Beach, NY
Searching for therapists in Long Beach starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support for. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life changes. As you compare Long Beach therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served in each profile. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they focus on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Long Beach, the number of local therapist offices may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and scheduling flexibility. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offer clear cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location. You can enter your insurance details, compare therapist profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
