I first received my Master's in Guidance & Counseling in the 1990s from Hunter College in Manhattan and obtained an Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Buffalo. I have also been a practicing, licensed massage therapist for nearly 30 years. I have clinical experience providing empathic mental health care for individuals, couples, families, and groups and have treated anxiety, trauma, depression, personality and eating disorders, as well as other mental health concerns. I have also treated physical disease conditions and physical trauma with mind/body techniques. Each client is unique, and raising awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is the focus in working collaboratively and intentionally towards realistic solutions.

If you find yourself overthinking conversations, getting stuck in the same relationship patterns, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed during conflict, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling frustrated by reactions they can't seem to change, whether that's shutting down, people-pleasing, becoming emotionally reactive, or replaying interactions long after they've happened. I'm a down-to-earth therapist who values genuine connection and practical solutions and I work with individuals and families who want to better understand their patterns and create healthier relationships.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Yonkers

Finding an LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Yonkers starts with understanding what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns that may be shaped by experiences of minority stress or discrimination. Others want a provider who can support identity exploration, coming out, or navigating family dynamics — without needing to explain the basics of LGBTQIA+ life. An affirming therapist acknowledges and respects your identity as a foundation for care, not something to work around.

Yonkers and the broader Westchester County area are home to a range of licensed providers, including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, who specialize in LGBTQIA-affirming care. When evaluating a provider, consider reading their bio to learn about their training, therapeutic approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients. A free phone consultation can also help you gauge whether a provider feels like the right match before committing to a session.

Therapy in the New York metro area can be expensive, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find an LGBTQIA-affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
