No single approach fits all clients; I tailor my approach to each client, making it relevant to the specific problem they are facing. The best way to understand your current issues is to examine how your past influences who you are today. I also emphasize understanding your emotions and past patterns to ensure a better understanding of yourself. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring you are comfortable within the therapy setting and process these hard feelings through a genuine relationship. I also ensure that you understand the process of our work together so you can feel informed and empowered.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over a decade of experience in the helping profession, I specialize in working with adults (18+) navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Many of my clients are professionals and executives operating in high-pressure environments who are used to pushing through, yet find themselves feeling overwhelmed, mentally fatigued, or stuck.
Clients often share that they feel comfortable opening up with me early in the process. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while focusing on clear, meaningful change. My approach is structured and goal-oriented, combining evidence-based strategies with practical tools that can be applied outside of sessions to improve focus, manage stress, and reduce burnout while enhancing day-to-day functioning.
I work best with individuals who are ready to engage in the process, gain clarity, and make intentional, lasting changes in both their personal and professional lives.
I have worked within the mental health field as a school psychologist and a licensed mental health professional for almost 30 years. my experience includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, children and adolescents, parenting skills, self-esteem, empowerment, life transitions, and divorce.
I work with young adult and adult clients who have concerns related to anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, ADHD, or life transitions that are impacting daily functioning.
I received my MSW from Columbia University and have been a clinician for 8 years. I incorporate CBT with a psychodynamic approach in order to both affirm and challenge clients. My practice is rooted in a strengths-based and person-centered approach. To help you meet your goals, I prioritize understanding you and where your identity, values, and life experiences intersect.

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.
