Find a therapist in New York — covered by insurance

Many of my clients come to me carrying something they never thought they'd be able to share with anyone. They've often spent years feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or like no one has ever quite seen them. They're adults navigating real barriers in their lives shaped by unprocessed trauma, neurocomplexity, the ongoing weight of chronic illness or pain, or identity-related experiences that haven't always felt safe to explore. Whatever brings someone to my door, I meet them where they are.

I am a warm, welcoming, insightful, and humorous therapist who has great regard for my clients. I graduated NYU Social Work School; was a clinician and supervisor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital for 15 years; and I now practice privately. My goal is to collaboratively empower clients to achieve their goals, and to live their fullest lives.

I graduated with my Doctorate in Psychology from LIU Post in 2009. Throughout my training and professional practice I have worked with a diverse array of individuals and clinical issues, including severe mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I currently work primarily with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and who are in recovery from addiction.

Do you feel like the same scene is playing out in your life over and over again, but an inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing confusing and intense feelings and difficulty in understanding why you feel this way? I am a psychotherapist that gives a safe space to children, adults, and couples who want to help make sense of your thoughts/feelings/behaviors. Also, if you're having trouble with your relationships-trouble connecting with people, isolating, or trying to figure out why something turned out the way it did, I can help you uncover that and help you create future relationships you actually want.

I have been a social worker practicing psychotherapy for 25 years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people with many different experiences, both in clinic settings and in private practice. For the past 10 years I have been the director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. I enjoy helping people work through past trauma and find a way forward. I believe that therapy can benefit anyone who is curious about themselves and wants to improve their lives.
