Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.4 mi away • Brooklyn, NY


What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.

Hello and welcome! I work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship transitions. I work in-person on Tuesdays in Ridgewood and virtually Monday-Thursday, 10-6. I currently have mid-day in person and virtual availability.

In addition to training in social work and psychotherapy, I have a Certificate in Couple Therapy from Akerman Institute and have completed over 60-hours of training in the Understanding Model of mediation.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Ridgewood, NY

Searching for therapists in Ridgewood starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for training, therapy styles, and listed focus areas that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their approach, communication style, and what a first session may look like.

Ridgewood has access to local mental health care, and nearby neighborhoods such as Bushwick, Maspeth, and Middle Village may expand your options for in-person appointments. Virtual therapy can also give you more flexibility, especially if local office availability is limited or your schedule is easier to manage from home. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can help you build a shortlist based on both clinical fit and practical fit.

Therapy in Ridgewood can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare availability, review detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
