When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist who works with Individual adults and adolescents, many of whom identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity. I have an MSW degree from NYU, where I interned with a psychoanalytic institute. I also earned a BA in Philosophy from The New School.
I utilize a multi-theoretical basis for all my clients. For my practice, trust, warmth and communication are the foundations of a good therapeutic relationship. I have a specialty in child/adolescent/family issues. However, I see many young adults who have issues feeling at ease and confident in their relationships and workplace. I endeavor to lift my clients out of the dark place that may be weighing them down to finding the solutions that will enable them to live freely.
As a clinical psychologist, I assist patients in reshaping negative thought and behavior patterns in a judgement free setting.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Mount Vernon, NY
Searching for therapists in Mount Vernon starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Mount Vernon therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.
In a smaller city like Mount Vernon, the right local fit may depend on more than office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading profiles before booking can help you evaluate communication style, experience, and whether the therapist’s approach fits the kind of support you want.
Therapy in Mount Vernon can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for a Mount Vernon therapist who takes your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
