Find a therapist in Mount Vernon, NY — covered by insurance

I’m a licensed psychologist with training and clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and private practice settings. I completed my PsyD at Hofstra University and have worked in hospital-based systems, as well as community and school-based settings.

I work with adults and adolescents facing a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, personality-related patterns, psychosis-spectrum conditions, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals navigating identity development, relationship challenges, and long-standing patterns of emotional distress that feel difficult to change.

Across settings, I have found that people often come to therapy not just because of symptoms, but because they want to feel more understood, more grounded, and more connected to themselves and others.

I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. By utilizing unconditional positive acceptance, my goal is to help clients add to their social and emotional knowledge so they can navigate through difficulties in ways that foster self-esteem, well-being, and growth.

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 am a New York State licensed clinical social worker who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy with extensive training in psychotherapy. I work with teens, adults, families and couples, treating issues including anxiety, depression, loss and addiction. In addition to a social work degree from New York University, I also trained at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in its Family and Couples Treatment therapy program.

I have been a practicing licensed clinical psychologist for 10 years but a healer for life. My passion has always been helping my clients better understand themselves, separate themselves from their diagnosis and symptoms, and use tools to help heal their soul. In a world that constantly tells you who you “Should” be, it can be hard to find and feel at home in your true self.
