Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Rockville Centre, NY covered by Cigna

You dreamed of what becoming a mother would feel like — and maybe this isn’t it. You’re exhausted in ways you didn’t expect. You’re anxious, or numb, or you can’t stop the intrusive thoughts. You love your baby and yet you feel lost inside your own life. That disconnect is real, and it makes sense.

I specialize in supporting mothers through the emotional weight of the perinatal period; from pregnancy through the postpartum years. This includes birth trauma, postpartum anxiety and depression, intrusive thoughts, and the profound stress of a NICU stay or premature birth. If your baby’s early days were shaped by fear, separation, or medical uncertainty, you don’t have to carry that alone.

In our work together, you won’t be rushed, minimized, or handed a generic coping list. You’ll have space to say the things you haven’t been able to say out loud and to slowly feel like yourself again.

I offer virtual sessions, making it easy to get support from the comfort of your home — no babysitter required.

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.

I’m a graduate of Columbia University’s School of Social Work and I have been working in community mental health for more than a decade.

I specialize in helping women, millennials and high achievers with:

• Life Transitions: marriage, breakups, relationships, career changes, emerging adulthood, depression, anxiety
• Perinatal Health: depression, anxiety, adapting to new roles, IVF, infertility, body image & change
• High Achieving: perfectionism, work/life balance, imposter syndrome, competitiveness

I’m a board certified psychiatrist who places a high value on both psychotherapy and evidence-based medication management. I am dedicated to providing compassionate care for individuals experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and PTSD, and ADHD.

I believe that healing happens within the safety of a genuine therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel accepted, understood, and able to show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment.

Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change, I will meet you with warmth, honesty, and compassion. Therapy with me is both supportive and challenging—I will validate your experiences while helping you build insight, develop new skills, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.

I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, and support you in creating meaningful and lasting change.

My passion is to help others achieve wellness. I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience. I currently work both inpatient and outpatient facilities within New York City. I specialize in the diagnoses and treatment of adults with a range of mental health issues.

I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, individual psychotherapy and medication management for adults. My goal is to explore each of my patient's situations and issues judiciously before arriving at appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.

My patients often say that I am approachable, personable, and respond quickly to emails/phone calls. I am accepting new patients.
