I have worked within the mental health field as a school psychologist and a licensed mental health professional for almost 30 years. my experience includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, children and adolescents, parenting skills, self-esteem, empowerment, life transitions, and divorce.
I am a Double Board-Certified nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health and family health. As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, I use an integrative and holistic approach to mental health. As a family nurse practitioner, I take into consideration how physical health impacts mood and relationships. I employ evidence-based medication management. Together, we can pinpoint what's causing you stress and navigate towards a balanced state. I employ brief supportive psychotherapy in every session to help patients manage their emotions, particularly those dealing with chronic illnesses or experiencing high levels of stress. By offering empathy and validation, I aim to strengthen coping mechanisms, boost resilience, and enhance overall mental well-being.
I have been in private practice as a psychologist for the past 30+ years and I can honestly say that I remain passionate about and dedicated to the work that I do as a therapist. I have a BA in Psychology and Human Biology from Stanford University and a Masters in Public Health from Yale University. My doctorate in Clinical Psychology is from The Graduate Center, C.U.N.Y and I completed training as a psychoanalyst at the NYU Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
I am a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist in New York State, with more than 30 years of experience in mental health, psychological assessment, trauma recovery, and public safety wellness. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, New York, I developed a deep appreciation for the resilience, diversity, and strengths of the communities I have served throughout my career.
My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centered. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not simply their symptoms. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based interventions, and insight-oriented approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful and lasting change.
I strive to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns openly and honestly.
Whether someone is seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, occupational challenges, or personal growth, my goal is to help them build resilience, enhance well-being, and develop a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in White Plains, NY
Finding therapists in White Plains starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
White Plains has local therapy options, but nearby availability may be more limited than in larger parts of New York City. Virtual appointments can expand your search across therapists licensed in New York, while in-person care may work well if you prefer an office near downtown, Metro-North, or surrounding Westchester communities. To narrow your search, check 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 also help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what sessions may be like.
Therapy in White Plains can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, confirm your benefits, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
