I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.
I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.

Welcome!
Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in East Islip
Finding the right therapist in East Islip starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions — and look for a licensed provider who has experience in those areas. In Suffolk County, common provider types include licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they might be a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions in the East Islip area or virtual appointments from home, and what days and times work with your schedule. If you're considering couples or family therapy, confirm that the provider offers those formats. A free phone consultation — when available — can help you get a sense of a provider's style before committing to a full session.
Therapy on Long Island can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in East Islip who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
