Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Yonkers, NY

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with seven years of experience, and I truly believe that vulnerability is a strength. In our work together, you’re not just a client—you’re an active partner in your growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can explore what’s holding you back and help you move forward with confidence and purpose. I work best with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns they are ready to change. Whether you are navigating anxiety, past trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I offer a supportive space to explore your experiences. Together, we work toward building clarity, confidence, emotional balance, and lasting healing that aligns with your personal goals and values.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of healthcare experience, providing telehealth psychiatry and virtual care to patients across New York. My strong medical background helps me recognize the vital link between

mental and physical health, allowing me to deliver thoughtful, integrated psychiatry services rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

I focus on medication management for anxiety and depression, along with adult ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma and PTSD management, using thorough psychiatric assessments, medication management, and supportive therapy for stress, burnout, and mood disorders. I also have particular experience in women’s mental health,

including postpartum depression and the concerns that often go unaddressed in general psychiatric care.

My aim is to foster a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it’s collaborative and personalized

I work closely with each client to develop a tailored

treatment plan that promotes emotional well-being, stability, and an improved quality of life.

All appointments are conducted through secure virtual care, and I accept insurance through Headway, so cost is rarely a barrier to getting started.

For 18 years I have worked alongside adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and the transitions that turn life upside down. I believe therapy works best when you can show up exactly as you are. In our sessions, we build on your strengths, move at a pace that feels right for you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I would love to connect.

I have always been interested in what makes each of us who we are and how we relate to others. Throughout my training to become a clinical psychologist, I trained in many different settings including university counseling centers, hospitals, community mental health centers and private practices. I ultimately chose to open my own practice so that I could have the freedom to meet each client's specific needs. I am so grateful for the ability to walk alongside each of my clients as they navigate the challenges and joys of life.

My approach to therapy is straight forward, solution focused and empathetic. I understand that life can throw you curves and living with change and uncertainty can lead you down an unfamiliar path. 2021 has been a year of change, adjustment, stress and hardship. If you are tired of working on your issues alone, now may be the time to seek out help. In fact, you are making a courageous first step. You may not know what to do to make your life better, you just know that you want things to change and you want to be happier and healthier. I can help you sort out what steps you need to take to identify and address your issues.

I view therapy as an active, engaging and collaborative process. People say that I am not like other therapists. "He worked hard to see me, hear me, understand my issues and accept me for who I am. He did not sit back and say uh-huh every few minutes. Together we found solutions to long standing problems."

Trusting relationships do matter and from the beginning of the therapy process. I work hard to provide a safe and caring place to talk. I typically spend the first session getting to know who you are, where you want to be, and what is standing in your way of getting unstuck. Call me today and discover if I am the right resource for you.

I am a neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ affirming provider who believes in social justice. I graduated from NYU in 2015 with my MSW degree and the last 10 years I have worked in various hospital based clinic settings providing mental and behavioral health interventions and therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I am passionate about serving underserved communities and access to care. I accept sliding scale out of pocket in addition to insurance.

Greetings & welcome. As a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer brief therapy & medication management to adolescents & adults. Medication is not the best fit for everyone & together we can find your path.

I hold a certification in Wellness Counseling from Cornell University & believe that diet, activity and spending time doing what nourishes you, all contribute to healing. Together we can explore your goals & treatment options.

I believe in a compassionate, patient-centered approach to care. When working with patients, I start by listening carefully to their concerns and goals.
