I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.
I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. By utilizing unconditional positive acceptance, my goal is to help clients add to their social and emotional knowledge so they can navigate through difficulties in ways that foster self-esteem, well-being, and growth.

I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique and personal. My approach is tailored to fit an individual's specific needs. It is my goal to provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you identify, explore, and address what thoughts and behaviors may be interfering with living a balanced life.

Frequently asked questions
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.
