I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who began my career at the Dent Neurologic Institute, where I focused on the connection between brain function and mental health. I am a good listener and devote much of my appointment time to understanding patient concerns and treatment expectations. This helps me provide consistently positive outcomes without relying on polypharmacy or a hit-and-trial approach. My psychiatric practice is rooted in my knowledge of how different neurotransmitters influence mood, memory, intellect, and cognition, shaping each person’s unique experience.
I help people navigate life, as they seek to better understand why they are in the place they find themselves, who they are in relation to the world and others, and where they would like to be.

With 14 years as a professional actor and teaching artist, I incorporate creativity into my eclectic therapeutic approach, which includes CBT, mindfulness, expressive arts, and psychodynamics. I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relational challenges, and personal growth.
If you're looking for a therapist who is direct and will challenge you, I might be a good fit. I'm not a therapist to just sit, listen, and provide head nods. My approach is straight forward and transparent. I'm able to probe if needed and provide honest and direct feedback when necessary. While I'm here to listen, my priority is to help people improve their lives. I enjoy working with Trauma, Anxiety and OCD especially.
In these uncertain times, I can assure you that I operate from a feminist lens and am LGBTQIA 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ affirming/culturally aware.
I can happily provide gender affirming care and ESA (emotional support animal) letters.
I want you to know that when you come into therapy with me, you don’t have to pretend, minimize, or hold everything together. You get to show up exactly as you are — overwhelmed, hopeful, exhausted, confused, motivated, or anything in between. We take it from there together.
My favorite part of this work has always been sitting with people one‐on‐one. That’s where real connection and real healing happen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know who you are, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different.
My style is warm, steady, and honest. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you understand the experiences and patterns that are shaping your life. I’m also practical — I like to offer tools and strategies you can actually use in your day‐to‐day life, not just in the therapy room.
I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major transitions, and substance use concerns. But most importantly, I work with people who feel stuck or weighed down and aren’t sure how to move forward. Everyone deserves a space where they can breathe and be supported.
Something I tell clients often is this: I don’t want you to just feel better — I want you to be well. Feeling better can be temporary. Being well means building insight, healing, and lasting change.
My goal is simple: to help you feel safe, understood, and supported as you find your footing and move toward what’s healthier and more meaningful for you.

I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.

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
