I have had the privilege of working as an individual and group therapist in numerous therapeutic settings. These experiences have allowed me to utilize various treatment modalities in order to empower the individuals I work with.
I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique and personal. My approach is tailored to fit an individual's specific needs. It is my goal to provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you identify, explore, and address what thoughts and behaviors may be interfering with living a balanced life. Through our work together, you will learn helpful tools and insights that will provide a sense of well-being that can help you achieve your personal goals in treatment.
I aim to empower you, provide you with useful strategies for success, and ultimately assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and what may be holding you back from reaching your individualized happiness. As we work together, you'll never have to feel alone on your journey to self-improvement and personal insight.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.
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.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Sociology. I have recieved my Master's Degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. I have worked in Private Practice for several years and as an LCSW, I have extensive experience and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy. I specialize in various areas such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions and adjustments, personality and mood disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hempstead
Finding the right therapist in Hempstead starts with getting clear on what you need support with. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus.
Hempstead and the surrounding Nassau County area have a large number of practicing mental health providers, which can make narrowing your options feel like a project in itself. Consider what matters most to you beyond credentials — things like whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, a provider's communication style, and whether their availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you get a sense of their approach and decide if they might be a good match.
Therapy on Long Island can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront before you book.
