Are you a woman or a couple struggling with the deep impact of trauma, anxiety, or relationship stress? Do you hear that voice saying, "I'm not good enough; I don’t deserve happiness"? I want you to know those ingrained beliefs aren't facts! They are coping mechanisms that are now keeping you stuck. They're often just patterns learned in old relationships. I help women and couples move past old habits towards safe attachment and acceptance within. You have untapped inner strengths, and you absolutely can go from just coping to thriving and living a full-hearted life.
I have had the privilege of working as an individual and group therapist in numerous therapeutic settings. These experiences have allowed me to utilize various treatment modalities in order to empower the individuals I work with.
I recognize that everyone’s experiences are unique and personal. My approach is tailored to fit an individual's specific needs. It is my goal to provide you with a safe and supportive environment to help you identify, explore, and address what thoughts and behaviors may be interfering with living a balanced life. Through our work together, you will learn helpful tools and insights that will provide a sense of well-being that can help you achieve your personal goals in treatment.
I aim to empower you, provide you with useful strategies for success, and ultimately assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and what may be holding you back from reaching your individualized happiness.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Staten Island
Finding the right therapist in Staten Island starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or grief — or whether you're looking for more general support during a life transition. Therapists hold different licenses (LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, psychologist) and often specialize in specific approaches, so reviewing a provider's background and style can help you identify a strong match.
Practical factors matter, too. Think about whether you prefer in-person sessions at an office in Staten Island or virtual appointments from home, and what days and times work with your schedule. If you're considering couples counseling or family therapy, look for a provider with specific training in those areas. A free phone consultation, when available, can help you get a sense of a provider's style before committing to a full session.
Therapy in the New York City metro area can be expensive, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a Staten Island therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
