I earned my License in Clinical Social Work from Nazareth College and my MBA from University of Rochester. My background is in therapy, coaching, applied behavior analysis and working with organizations, teams and leaders to foster workplace cultures built on trust, engagement and well-being.
I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.
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.
Hello and welcome!
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in NY who believes deeply in supporting my clients through all lifes challenges and growing pains.
Together, I strive to create a warm and inviting space of growth and opportunity to feel more peace internally.
With sixteen years of experience in mental health and social work, I bring a warm, calm, and nurturing presence to every therapeutic relationship. My background spans a wide range of settings - from working with senior adults and neurodivergent individuals to my current role as a Clinical Program Coordinator in correction-based operations - giving me a deeply grounded, real-world perspective on resilience and healing. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Criminal Justice from Delaware State University and a Master of Social Work from Fordham University, and I am licensed as both an LMSW and LCSW in the State of New York. I also integrate Christian counseling for clients who find meaning and support in their faith.
Life can be challenging, and at times it may feel difficult to navigate the stress, uncertainty, and emotional pain that come with it. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore life's challenges from a new perspective.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in life transitions, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationship concerns. I am particularly passionate about serving historically under served communities while providing culturally responsive care that honors each person's unique experiences, values, and identity.
I am a Brooklyn-based Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, specializing in Drama Therapy, who believes in the liberation and empowerment of marginalized communities, especially black women and women of color. I am also an artist whose art concentration lies in playwriting, fiction writing, directing, and performing. My practice is rooted in storytelling, empowerment, embodiment, and somatic awareness.
Anxiety and depression can make everyday life feel exhausting — and finding the right support shouldn't add to that. I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner practicing via telehealth across New York State, and I genuinely love what I do. My style is collaborative: I'm not here to hand you a prescription and send you on your way. I want to understand your full picture — your history, your goals, what you've tried before — and build a plan that actually fits your life. Care works best when it feels like a partnership, and that's exactly what I aim for. There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to mental health, and I'll never treat it that way. If you're ready to take the next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I'd love to connect.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of nursing experience, caring for individuals from diverse backgrounds across healthcare and community settings.
My clinical background includes approximately one year working with men experiencing homelessness, where I conducted psychiatric evaluations to identify diagnosed and previously unrecognized mental health conditions that could affect employment, housing stability, and daily functioning. This experience strengthened my understanding of how mental health, life circumstances, and social challenges can impact overall well-being.
I also have extensive experience in postpartum and maternal health, giving me a unique understanding of perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns. While this remains a special area of interest, I provide psychiatric care to adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.
At NurtureNest Behavioral Health, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and supportive therapy using a compassionate, evidence-based approach. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward greater emotional well-being and an improved quality of life.
I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 15 years of healthcare experience caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I earned my BSN from Nova Southeastern University, MSN-FNP from the University of South Alabama, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Florida, and Post-Master's PMHNP certificate from Wilkes University.
My background includes intensive care, family medicine, urgent care, oncology, thoracic surgery, correctional healthcare, and outpatient psychiatry. This diverse experience allows me to understand the connection between physical and mental health while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
I specialize in evaluating and treating anxiety, depression, panic disorder, PTSD and trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, stress and burnout, adjustment disorders, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, women's mental health, postpartum depression and anxiety, and life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, caregiver stress, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
My approach is collaborative, holistic, and individualized. I combine medication management with evidence-based therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and strengths-based interventions. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their journey.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in New York
Searching for postpartum therapists in New York starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs during pregnancy or after birth. Postpartum support can include care for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. New York has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so specialties and appointment options can vary by location. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy therapy, prenatal therapy, or maternal mental health therapy. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal care.
From New York City to Buffalo to Albany, the right fit often depends on more than specialty alone. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, work schedules, or changing daily routines. Virtual therapy can make it easier to access a therapist for moms, a therapist for new moms, or new parent therapy when traveling to an office takes extra planning. You can also narrow your search by availability, therapeutic approach, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, experience, and approach before you book.
The cost of postpartum therapy in New York can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking. From there, you can review therapist profiles, compare appointment times, and book directly when you’re ready.
