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.

As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping people navigate addiction, legal system involvement, mood disorders, and trauma recovery. I am a certified provider of Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma and trained in Seeking Safety, an evidence based model for co-occurring trauma and substance use. Much of my work has been with clients in the Hudson Valley region, including those connected to legal and correctional systems, and I bring a direct, compassionate approach to supporting their recovery and stability.

A big reason why I became a therapist is reflected in the quote: "Your vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world's deep need" (Frederick Buechner). I find tremendous joy in helping clients move toward healthier and more meaningful lives.

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 licensed psychologist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, grief, significant life changes, or challenges with attention and focus. My goal is to offer a safe, affirming space to explore your life, your story, and what matters most to you — your experiences, your values, and where you hope to go. You are a complex, whole person made up of many parts — and there is room here for all of them.

As a licensed psychologist, I help clients achieve their goals and overcome challenges through a collaborative and evidence-based approach. Using a culturally responsive cognitive behavior therapy framework, I create a safe space for self-exploration and making meaningful change. Working together, my clients have reported improved mood, relationships, and self-image. I have helped clients change unhelpful habits, adjust to life transitions, and reach their goals.

Hello there!

I am an LCSW who has worked in various treatment settings: community-based outpatient clinics (article 31), in the community (ACT team), and residential. I have worked in various roles: mental health therapist, family therapist, clinical supervisor, assistant clinical director, and associate director. I have a wealth of experience in treating clients with various diagnoses including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, life transitions, socioeconomic concerns, OCD, BPD, ODD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, autism, eating disorders , chronic health conditions, etc.

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who began my career at the Dent Neurologic Institute, where I focused on the connection between brain function and mental health. I am a good listener and devote much of my appointment time to understanding patient concerns and treatment expectations. This helps me provide consistently positive outcomes without relying on polypharmacy or a hit-and-trial approach. My psychiatric practice is rooted in my knowledge of how different neurotransmitters influence mood, memory, intellect, and cognition, shaping each person’s unique experience.
