I am an LMHC in New York. I have been in private practice since 2015. I obtained my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2012 and began working in a residential setting, providing services to adults with chronic mental illness and substance use disorders, receiving numerous promotions along the way. After 11 years, I decided to move onto something new, obtaining a position as a Clinical Director in an outpatient clinic. I recently decided to pursue my private practice full time.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Scarsdale
Finding the right therapist in Scarsdale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Common reasons residents seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and support for children or teens. Scarsdale and the surrounding Westchester County area have providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to family therapy and couples counseling. Knowing whether you want in-person sessions locally or prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments can also help narrow your search.
When comparing providers, look beyond credentials. A therapist's specialty, communication style, and approach all play a role in whether the relationship feels like a good fit. Reading detailed provider bios and scheduling a phone consultation before your first session can help you feel more confident in your choice.
Therapy in the Scarsdale area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit with coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
