Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I’m a warm, light-hearted therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling understood. I work with teens, adults, and couples to help them explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and build self-awareness. I bring humor and creativity into the therapy space to make even the hard work feel approachable. My background includes experience in anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma-informed care. I’m passionate about helping clients reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel grounded, authentic, and fulfilling.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have focused the majority of my career on youth and young adults. I love working with young people as they navigate the challenges of personality development, family relationships, and exploring their place in the world beyond the family. My clinical judgment and practice strategies are guided by over twenty years of work with a wide variety of clients and circumstances. As a social worker in a lively high school and a parent of two young adults, I am very comfortable building rapport with the full gamut of adolescent personalities.

I am very excited to support clients in all developmental life stages as they work through clinical and non-clinical issues. These include depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, grief and loss, life and career transitions, relationships, parenting, family dynamics, and aging.

I have been working with individuals, couples and families for many years. I am thought of as empathic, warm and engaging. I consider therapy to be a partnership. It is designed to work towards "your" goals, and it is my goal, to help you achieve them. I have worked with people having many different "struggles" or "transitions" in their lives. I am experienced in all areas from trauma, childhood and adult abuse, DV, anxiety, depression, sexuality, family or other relationships, along with substance use disorders/struggles. I also understand the specific challenges that come with parenting, and the issues we encounter coping with the varied neeeds of aging parents. I use many different modalities in our work. I believe that we all can benefit from having a therapist to work with, and I look forward to meeting you. While I currently reside in the Hudson Valley, I am from NYC, and do also understand the specific stressors of city life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My style is practical and solution-focused, empowering clients to take small, actionable steps toward meaningful personal growth.
