I’m a native New Yorker and earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from Fordham University. I have over 18 years of experience working with people of all ages, from young children to older adults. I currently support children, families, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is warm, empathetic, and solution-focused, and I believe in working together as a team. I meet clients where they are and help them build practical tools to move toward healing and meaningful change.
I am a dedicated Family / Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to supporting my clients on their mental health journey. My approach is both warm and compassionate, creating a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe in being direct and honest while maintaining a foundation of empathy and respect.
With a strong focus on holistic and personalized care, I work collaboratively with clients to develop effective treatment plans that address your unique needs, challenges, and goals. My strength lies in balancing a straightforward communication style with genuine empathy, ensuring you feel supported and motivated throughout your mental health journey.
Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or life transitions, I am here to help guide you toward wellness with kindness, clarity, and understanding.
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.
Starting therapy requires courage and strength even when we are in pain or dissatisfied with the way things are. It is difficult to open up to a stranger, to change the familiar ways of dealing with life and people. That is why I believe in providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment, where we will look at recurrent patterns in your life (for example why do you choose "the same type" of partners or feel so lonely or anxious, why do you often have the "same conflicts" with your bosses or friends) and gain insight into unconscious motivations of your behavior.
I specialize in behavioral excess (misuse of substances, sex and food) and mood disorders (anxiety, depression). Because of my belief in personal freedom I try to provide accepting and safe environment where we can talk about you and your life openly.
I am bilingual (Russian/English)and have extensive training in psycholinguistics.
Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and direct. I aim to create a space where you feel understood and supported, while also gently challenged to grow. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not judgmental, not passive, and not surface-level.
I am a board certified nurse practitioner with extensive experience in both outpatient and inpatient treatment setting. I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and PTSD. My goal is to provide a thorough evaluation and help you to decide the best treatment option for you. I am also a NYS Medical Marijuana Program Provider.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Smithtown, NY
Searching for therapists in Smithtown starts with finding someone whose background matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and help you understand what care with them may look like.
In a smaller community like Smithtown, the right local match may depend on both fit and availability. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office near Smithtown, Hauppauge, or Nissequogue, while virtual sessions can expand your options across New York. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare style, focus areas, and practical details in one place.
Therapy in Smithtown can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, review detailed bios, see estimated costs after entering your plan details, and book directly when you’re ready.
