Let me share some information about myself. I am a graduate from Brooklyn College for my BA degree and I attended NYU for my masters degree in social work. I have worked in different setting over the years and really enjoy working with all different age groups. I enjoy families, couples and individuals. I enjoy seeing the progress my clients make once they start to see their own patterns and what they feel they should change.
"Clients start to heal the moment they feel heard".
I am a Columbia University trained psychotherapist and have been practicing therapy for the past 16 years. My style of practice is interactive and relational. This means we will work together and build a relationship from which we can work through what you need help with. I tend to be transparent and will share my thoughts with you. This will be an active therapy experience where we will use our smarts and strengths collaboratively to bring about change. My post graduate training in couple and family therapy gives me a deep understanding of how to help individuals, couples and families struggling with relationship issues.
I believe that we are all best understood when space is made for all that impacts us- including our gender, class, race, sexual orientation, families of origin and how all these parts of us intersects with social context, history and the world around us. I specialize in couple and family therapy and also have extensive experience providing individual therapy
If you would like to see if we would be a good match to work together, the next step would be to set up a 10-15 minute call. Please feel free to call me or you reach out via email to schedule a time for us to talk by phone.
I have a particular passion for working with men, especially guys in their 20s and 30s. A lot of the young men I see are dealing with something the research is only now catching up to — an erosion of in-person connection, a sense of drift, and a shortage of spaces where they can actually say what's going on. I'm genuinely excited and motivated by this work because I believe this generation of men needs — and deserves — real support. That said, I also welcome clients navigating anxiety, discouragement, depression, workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and life transitions of all kinds.
I'm a Brooklyn-bred Psychotherapist and earned my LCSW in 2009. I previously worked in the corporate world, and understand pressure, ambition, career transitions, and what it feels like when the thing you've built your identity around stops fitting. Since becoming a therapist, I've worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, substance abuse treatment, and psych rehab before settling into a private practice where I'm focused on the work I care most about.
I have worked within the mental health field as a school psychologist and a licensed mental health professional for almost 30 years. my experience includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, children and adolescents, parenting skills, self-esteem, empowerment, life transitions, and divorce.

I strive to create a relaxed, authentic, non-judgmental therapy environment; So, don’t be surprised if you are welcomed by a woman in jeans and sneakers. I believe the goal in therapy is for each individual to reach their highest potential.
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!

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.
