I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a professional background focusing on mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges in relationships. I attach importance to the ways issues of culture, race, trauma, family dynamics, and migration influence how we carry ourselves in the world and approach our experiences.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and supported while we work together toward meaningful change. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship and believe that honesty, collaboration, and even humor have an important place in the healing process.
My experience includes helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in nonprofit and community mental health settings, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and other mental health concerns.

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.
