Therapist

Almost everyone experiences some level of depression or anxiety during their lifetime. Sometimes these conditions prompt us to get care. They inspire us to work collaboratively with someone so that we can

navigate difficult times. Psychotherapy can help us make decisions, process relationships, endure

emotional pain and make real growth. I specialize in working collaboratively with adults who

experience depression and anxiety or are looking to work through stuck points in their lives.

I believe that healing happens within the safety of a genuine therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel accepted, understood, and able to show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment.

Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to change, I will meet you with warmth, honesty, and compassion. Therapy with me is both supportive and challenging—I will validate your experiences while helping you build insight, develop new skills, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.

I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, and support you in creating meaningful and lasting change.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist in New York and Florida who works specifically with moms of explosive boys. My training is rooted in understanding the nervous system — which means I work beneath the behavior, not just at the surface of it. I'm not going to hand you a sticker chart or tell you to pick your battles. I understand what you're actually dealing with — and I take it seriously.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
