Book a therapist or psychiatrist in New City, NY covered by Aetna

I'm a trauma-informed therapist in New York and Florida who works specifically with moms of explosive boys. My training is rooted in understanding the nervous system — which means I work beneath the behavior, not just at the surface of it. I'm not going to hand you a sticker chart or tell you to pick your battles. I understand what you're actually dealing with — and I take it seriously.

I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My priority is to help you achieve wellbeing in your relational, emotional, and mental health. I look forward to connecting with you on your goals for therapy, and how we can achieve them together!

Throughout my career as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, I have worked with clients of all lived experiences, and find it meaningful that I am able to walk with clients from point A to point B (or sometimes, all the way to point Z and back again). It is significant to be witness to their growth, supporting them throughout very critical moments in their life journey, and ultimately, seeing them achieve their goals in therapy and beyond.

Part of what drew me to become a psychotherapist was having meaningful experiences where I felt supported in my own emergence in the world as an ever-evolving, multidimensional, curious, and empathetic person. From the very start of the therapy process, I emphasize to my client that I am here to offer support, guidance, or dive into the important work that they are investing in.

I also would like to share a more concise answer: I am a human being, trying to figure out how to navigate a complex world, and all of the dynamics, just like you! I say this to emphasize that I find points of connecting with clients to form a strong therapeutic alliance, as I am on your team, and want to see you excel.

I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Ecotherapist with extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, families and groups. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, resilience, and healing. I also hold a systems and climate-aware perspective, working to support clients within the challenging times / systems we are experiencing. My clients include those who are navigating life transitions or experiencing challenging emotions, i.e. anxiety, depression, loss of purpose, grief, or identity confusion. I also see couples who may be struggling with conflict or communication challenges.

I believe therapy can provide that for those who are looking to work towards reaching their life's goals. Whether you want to address mental health concerns, past trauma or strategies to cope with life transitions, I help my clients to identify barriers in their thought patterns and present tools to build upon their resiliency.

I have worked with thousands of individuals and families across the Country in a variety of settings and I know that living a happy life is realistic and achievable, no matter what your current situation. I am passionate about personal growth, and believe I have a natural ability to connect with a diverse range of client populations.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I use evidence based treatments with my Clients and encourage them to reflect on the impact of therapy throughout the process. We always want to make sure that what is being done in therapy is translating, and that it is making a positive difference in your life.

If you find yourself overthinking conversations, getting stuck in the same relationship patterns, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed during conflict, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling frustrated by reactions they can't seem to change, whether that's shutting down, people-pleasing, becoming emotionally reactive, or replaying interactions long after they've happened. I'm a down-to-earth therapist who values genuine connection and practical solutions and I work with individuals and families who want to better understand their patterns and create healthier relationships.
