I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of themselves during stressful or transitional periods of life. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, or the emotional toll of caring for others. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and able to approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
I have particular experience working with young adults, young professionals, healthcare workers, first responders, and men—especially those who may be new to therapy or unsure where to start. Through my work across emergency, outpatient, residential, and telehealth settings, I’ve supported individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life circumstances. This has shaped me into a flexible and adaptable clinician who is comfortable meeting clients where they are.
I'm a seasoned clinical social worker licensed in New York and Florida who has worked with all ages. I have my Bachelor's degree from Russell Sage College Troy, New York in Sociology and Psychology. I received my Master's degree from The State University of New York at Albany with a focus on individual counseling. I've been a therapist for 16 years.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD,
obsessive compulsive disorder, addiction, panic attacks, trauma, grief and loss, geriatric issues, stress-related disorders, bipolar disorders and schizophrenia.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I focus on helping clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns so they can develop healthier ways of coping. Together we will work on building practical skills to manage anxiety, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and increase confidence in everyday life.
I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.
My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.
I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.
Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! I know finding a therapist can be daunting, but it is so worth it when you find someone you can trust. Whether you are navigating a new challenge life has thrown at you or are choosing to tackle a longstanding problem, I would be honored to be part of your team. Clients from all walks of life are welcome. I value clients' diversity and aim to treat each individual as holistically as possible. If you are looking to grow yourself and your relationships into the best that they can be, I would love to meet with you and accompany you on that journey.
I’m a dual-licensed psychotherapist (LMHC, LCAT) providing online therapy to adults across New York State.
My work integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS-informed approaches, and psychodynamic therapy.
I work with adults who appear composed externally yet feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or relationally stuck beneath the surface. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals navigating demanding professional or personal roles who notice patterns they’re ready to understand and shift.
My style is warm, attuned, and thoughtfully direct. I value depth, clarity, and accountability. Our work focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening insight, and refining relational patterns in ways that support sustainable, meaningful change.
If you’re seeking focused, depth-oriented therapy and are ready to engage thoughtfully in this process, I look forward to the possibility of working together.
I bring over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and schools to help people understand their emotions, strengthen relationships, and build the tools they need to thrive. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that we all do the best we can with the tools we have—and that with the right support, we can grow and heal.
I am a licensed social worker with over twenty years of experience supporting children, individuals, and families. My professional background includes working in diverse settings such as outpatient community mental health clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and educational environments. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from SUNY Stony Brook and a post-graduate certificate from the NYU Silver School of Social Work.
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and providing guidance during life transitions. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with.
Growing up as an immigrant, I was fortunate to have teachers, mentors, and counselors in my life who made me feel "seen" and "heard" and helped me navigate the nuances of my complex, contradicting dual cultures. Inspired, it led me to officially train to provide "unconditional regard" (safe spaces) for those in similar situations.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ridgewood
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.
