I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with a Master of Social Work degree from Fordham University and extensive experience providing psychotherapy, mental health assessment, and diagnostic evaluation across multiple levels of care. My clinical background includes work within a major hospital system, school-based mental health programs, and outpatient settings, where I have supported adolescents, young adults, and adults facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, family conflict, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, stress, and adjustment challenges. My experience in hospital-based mental health has strengthened my ability to conduct comprehensive assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and help clients gain a clearer understanding of the factors contributing to their struggles.
I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling understood. My goal is to create a supportive, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe exploring their experiences, identifying their strengths, and working toward the life they want to build. Whether you are navigating a difficult season of life or seeking deeper personal growth, I am committed to helping you gain insight, build resilience, and achieve lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.
