Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Patchogue, NY covered by Cigna

Thanks for visiting my page, I am glad you are here. I’ve spent more than 15 years supporting individuals of all ages and families through life’s toughest and most meaningful transitions. I specialize in trauma, grief, maternal mental health, postpartum support, anxiety, and life challenges. As a long time school social worker, I also love working with teens, young adults, and parents navigating stress, anxiety, identity, impulse control, ADHD, and the emotional impact of today’s digital world—including screen use overwhelm.

A lot of the people I work with describe feeling like they’ve been “holding everything together” but falling through the cracks themselves. Whether you’re a new parent, a caregiver, a teenager struggling to find direction, or someone facing loss or major change—you don’t have to do this alone.

I have been working in the field of social work/ counseling for three decades. I am approachable, non-judgmental and believe that everyone has something special about them. At times life's challenges cloud our ability to believe this and darken our outlook on life and ourselves. I enjoy helping my clients see their worth and live a happier life. I also grew up with a sister with significant developmental delays and autism. My childhood definitely cultivated my desire to work in this field, while also giving me first hand experience about the challenges of being a sibling to a brother or sister with special needs. I have worked with many children and teens who may be struggling with a similar family dynamic.

Hi! I am a clinical and holistic based therapist focusing on Trauma and Nervous System care for women and children. You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of trauma, stress, or emotional overwhelm on your own. Healing is possible when you feel truly seen, supported, and equipped with the right tools. With over 15 years of clinical and intuitive experience, I help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward greater health, resilience, and wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.

I'm not accepting new clients at the moment, but I do have a waitlist available.

I hold an M.A. and Ed.M. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, substance misuse, life transitions, LGBTQ+ concerns, and psychedelic harm reduction. My approach is eclectic, blending CBT, mindfulness, existential therapy, and person-centered therapy based on each client’s needs. I’m committed to providing compassionate, client-centered care to help individuals navigate challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
