Hi there! I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s transitions, stress, and mental health challenges.

My practice blends precise medical management with supportive, evidence-based therapy to look at you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD, with a particular focus on young adults and professionals navigating career, academic, or personal life changes.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving Suffolk County, NY. I provide outpatient mental health care across the lifespan, with experience supporting clients with a range of concerns, including autism spectrum-related needs

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.

I believe feelings aren't obstacles to manage they're signals worth understanding. For over five years, I've worked alongside people who are quietly exhausted: carrying anxiety, sitting with grief, untangling patterns in their relationships, or navigating a life that no longer fits who they're becoming. My clients often describe our sessions as the first place they've felt truly heard without needing to perform strength or explain away their emotions. I work with individuals and couples across New York, New Jersey, and Florida via telehealth, with evening, morning, and weekend availability, so quality care doesn't have to be another thing to schedule around. I accept Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Anthem, Empire, and other major plans. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out we can start exactly where you are.

I provide therapy for adults and adolescents in New York who are dealing with anxiety, mood challenges, emotional dysregulation, or family conflict.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step to improved mental health. My name is Stephanie and I have been a social worker for the past 13 years. I have since had much experience working with adolescents and adults with both medical and mental health challenges. I have also worked closely with new moms on many of the challenges they face postpartum and working through those challenges together. My experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings allow me to connect with clients at various stages to help overcome challenges.

I view therapy as a human-to-human connection first and foremost. Even if you arrive at our first session feeling timid, overwhelmed, or hesitant, my goal is to create an environment where you feel immediately welcomed, safe, and comfortable. I truly love the work I do, and I am deeply committed to walking alongside you on your path toward healing.
