Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.
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.
As a clinical psychologist, I assist patients in reshaping negative thought and behavior patterns in a judgement free setting.
I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.
Reaching out for help can be challenging and often feels overwhelming. I understand first hand just how dark the path to recovery can seem. But please know, you are not alone! I specialize in working with young adults and adults ages 18+ who suffer from mild-moderate anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, addiction, and life transitions. I utilize a collaborative and individualized approach so my client's always feel heard and understood. No two individuals are ever treated the same!
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lynbrook
Searching for therapists in Lynbrook starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and populations served. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work with people and whether their style fits what you’re looking for.
Lynbrook is close to other Long Island communities like Valley Stream, Rockville Centre, and Atlantic Beach, but local appointment options may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment times, session format, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Lynbrook can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review bios, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
