I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a background in community mental health and school-based mental health. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating a wide range of challenges. My professional experience has shaped the way I practice today: with compassion, honesty, curiosity, and a genuine belief that all people are capable of change. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and I have continued to build my clinical knowledge and skills through training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma Informed Care, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, life transitions, relationships, parenting, stress, trauma, and school-related stress or adolescents/parents.

I work with clients to identify what's getting in the way of the life they want — and build the tools, insight, and coping strategies to actually get there.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Yonkers
Finding addiction therapists in Yonkers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and relapse prevention. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to choose a therapist who understands care coordination.
Yonkers has local therapy options, and nearby access to the broader New York metro area can widen your search. Virtual appointments can also expand your options if local availability, commute time, or scheduling makes in-person care harder to fit into your week. Recovery can involve changes over time, so look for a therapist who uses a nonjudgmental approach and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, what addiction-related concerns they list, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Therapy in Yonkers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
