For 18 years I have worked alongside adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and the transitions that turn life upside down. I believe therapy works best when you can show up exactly as you are. In our sessions, we build on your strengths, move at a pace that feels right for you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I would love to connect.

My path into mental health has been shaped by a genuine commitment to helping others navigate life's challenges. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience working with diverse populations across various settings, supporting individuals through periods of emotional distress, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, trauma, interpersonal challenges, etc.

I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, panic, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Whether you've been feeling overwhelmed for years or recently found yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, we'll work together to understand what's keeping the cycle going and build practical skills to help you move forward.

As a licensed clinical social worker with experience in university mental health, I've supported adults facing academic, career, and personal challenges. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical, giving you a place to feel understood while also helping you develop skills you can use in everyday life.

Whatever brought you here, whether it is navigating a chronic condition, supporting a child who learns differently, or simply feeling stuck, you deserve care that meets you where you are. I am Sara, a Licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist with 17 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors across New York. My approach is warm and creative, and I focus on goals that are realistic and truly attainable. I would love to help you take that next step.

You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.
