I am an LMHC in New York. I have been in private practice since 2015. I obtained my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2012 and began working in a residential setting, providing services to adults with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders, receiving numerous promotions along the way. After 11 years, I decided to move onto something new, obtaining a position as a Clinical Director in an outpatient clinic. I recently decided to pursue my private practice full time.
I am a board-certified adult/consult-liaison psychiatrist, who is currently practicing in NYC. Patients who enter treatment with me can expect to receive holistic and individualized care for their mental and emotional needs.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
Hello! I specialize in working with woman and adolescents, combining both nursing and psychotherapy techniques to address issues from a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial perspective, seeking to help clients improve holistically.
You hold the world together for everyone else. But balancing the complex demands of caretaking, family crises, or supporting a child's disability means your own needs have likely taken a backseat.
My goal is to give you that space back. I bring a grounded, warm presence (and a little humor) to the therapeutic process. Together, we can actively untangle the overwhelm or create a quiet space for profound realizations. Let's talk about how to get you feeling grounded again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Rockville Centre
Searching for therapists in Rockville Centre starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Their profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that aligns with your preferences.
Rockville Centre is a smaller market, so nearby in-person counseling options may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. As you compare psychological services in the Rockville Centre area, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, free consultation options, and session format. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Rockville Centre can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps by letting you search for therapists who match your preferences, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
