Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care to adolescents and adults through a warm, holistic, and evidence-based approach. I completed my Family Nurse Practitioner training at Long Island University and later advanced my training with a post master’s certification in psychiatric mental health at Liberty University. My background across urgent care and outpatient settings has allowed me to care for a wide range of conditions, while recognizing the strong connection between physical health, anxiety, depression, and overall emotional well-being.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, and life transitions, including those managing both medical and mental health conditions. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, while also creating a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. My goal is to help you feel more stable, clear, and in control of your mental health.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and emotional stress. I am passionate about creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported while also being thoughtfully challenged to grow and reach their goals.

I am the Founder of EQ Therapy (eqtherapy.co), a private practice designed for high-performing clients. I also teach at NYU in their graduate mental health counseling program. My dissertation at Johns Hopkins focused on the mental health experience of intercollegiate student-athletes. I supervise therapists at EQ Therapy who are accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy. If you're a couple, college student, industry leader, entrepreneur, or athlete, schedule a session with with me today!

My path has been shaped by a deep interest in understanding how people adapt, cope, and heal through difficult experiences. I’ve worked across a range of settings, including outpatient mental health clinics, community-based programs, and leadership roles where I’ve supervised clinicians and helped shape services. These experiences shaped my approach to be both insight-driven and practical—helping clients understand themselves more deeply while also making meaningful, lasting changes in their daily lives.

If you’re carrying more than you feel you should, or moving through life feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected, you don’t have to hold it all alone. I offer a compassionate, non‐judgmental space where women, individuals, and couples can explore what’s hurting and what’s possible. I earned my Master of Social Work from NYU and draw from evidence‐based approaches—including ACT and CBT—to support clients navigating anxiety, depression, body image concerns, and more.
