Hello! Here is my short & sweet elevator pitch....well virtual elevator pitch. I have worked primarily with children & adolescents for 6 years in hospital, outpatient and school settings. I have experience with children in active crisis, emotional distress, trauma, homelessness, foster care & those with various learning disabilities. I use humor to get to know my patients, and you can always count on me to crack a joke about myself to lighten the mood.

I've been doing this work for 28 years — and I'm still genuinely curious about the people I work with. I care about the whole arc of your life, not just the symptoms showing up right now. I integrate CBT, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and expressive arts, including music — depending on what each person actually needs. I'm LGBTQA+-affirming and bring a culturally responsive lens to every session. I don't assume, I ask. I work with adults across New York via telehealth, and I offer superbills that clients can submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement.

Therapist

Virtual • Nyack, NY


I’m a licensed therapist and intuitive healer who helps clients reconnect with themselves and reclaim their peace. My background blends traditional clinical training with holistic practices like reiki energy work, somatic practices and mindfulness, allowing me to meet clients where they are- mind, body, and spirit.

I specialize in supporting people who’ve carried too much for too long — those navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or complex family dynamics. My approach is real, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I don’t believe in quick fixes or surface-level advice; I believe in helping you understand your story, heal old wounds, and move forward feeling grounded, confident, and aligned.

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 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.
