Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Suffern, NY covered by Aetna

I received my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology and have spent my postgraduate career working in private practice. I have particular experience in working with folks struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and self-image.

Life is hard- therapy doesn't have to be! I work hard to create a judgement-free and open space where we work to build deep trust. Compassion, empathy, and sense of humor are an integral part of my practice. I am patient and recognize that relationships are built over time and will work to earn your trust: not expect or demand it. This is the basis on which I've built strong relationships with my long-term clients.

I attended NYU for grad school and then worked with people with chronic homelessness and severe mental illnesses. After that, I transitioned to work in community mental health with families and children with a concentration in trauma. For the last ten years, I've worked full-time with college and grad students so have a specialty working with young adults. When I'm not serving clients, you can find me at the gym, fostering kittens, or on the racetrack trying to beat my last lap.

For more than 10 years, I have worked alongside people navigating serious mental health

challenges, career changes, and the everyday weight of keeping it all together. Whether

you are living with bipolar disorder, processing trauma, or figuring out your next step

professionally or personally, I bring both deep clinical training and lived perspective as a

working parent to our sessions. I would love to connect and start building something that

actually fits your life.

I received a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. Ed. in Rehabilitation Counseling and Mental Health from Hofstra University. During my practicum and internship in a community clinic, I counseled people from 15-72 years of age with a range of mental health and vocational concerns. I developed a curriculum and led groups to build socialization skills in children ages 8-12. I also led a parenting skills group while at the clinic. As a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I worked with clients to explore career choices and assist with finding, obtaining, and keeping employment. I am also a Certified Work Incentive Practitioner, which allows me to advise public benefit beneficiaries on their entry or return to competitive employment and its effects on their benefits.

I have 8 years of nursing experience working with children as young as 6 years and older across inpatient and outpatient settings. Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, ODD, bipolar and psychotic disorders are some of the areas I have expertise in.

I graduated from Hofstra University Nurse Practitioner Program and was recognized for The Academic Excellence Award for outstanding clinical and academic performance.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I work with adults navigating substance use, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, life transitions and relationship challenges.

When you're constantly overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or carrying the weight of everyone else's expectations, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, or questions about your identity, therapy can help you break free from the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build confidence, and develop practical tools so you can feel more grounded, more connected, and more in control of your life.
