Hi! I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry. I have over 14 years of clinical experience in a wide range of settings, and doctoral training. I also have extensive experience working with adults. I bring a compassionate and warm approach to providing holistic, individualized and evidence-based treatment approaches. My clients appreciate my delicate and humorous style.

I'm ready to help you get started on your journey!

I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 22 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with diverse issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, couples counseling, life transitions, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral.

People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!

If you are struggling with unresolved trauma, grief or loss, if you are trying to cope with depression or anxiety, if you and your partner have forgotten your love language, reach out. As a compassionate listener I provide a judgment free, supportive environment. I am now offering teletherapy so that you can receive support in the comfort of your chosen venue at flexible times. I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker with extensive clinical experience in hospitals, clinics and private practice settings.

Offering online treatment removes the stress of missing work or school. I offer individual, couples, family, children and adolescents treatment. I bring a wealth of experience in family system work and trauma-focused CBT. The goal of my practice is to remove the stigma associated with seeking mental health treatment and to provide a supportive environment to help you remove barriers so that you can live your fullest, best life.

Therapy has the potential to be a transformative experience. I have found people realize the benefit of therapy when they learn how to communicate and advocate for themselves compassionately, practice setting better boundaries, love themselves and others more fully, start to listen to their feelings as teachers and compasses pointing to important lessons, and when they begin to trust themselves as they are, to live authentically and unapologetically. Therapy with me is informed by Social Justice, Allyship, Anti-Racism and is Affirming of all Identities, including, Neurodivergent, Sexual, and Gender.

My professional journey has spanned a range of settings, including private practice, a program serving adults with severe mental illness, residential treatment center for adolescents, mobile mental health services, and mental health urgent care.
