Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • West Babylon, NY


I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.

I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.

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 West Islip

Finding the right therapist in West Islip starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or relationship challenges — and look for a licensed provider who specializes in those areas. Common credentials include LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, and psychologist. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

West Islip is part of a broader Long Island community with access to providers in nearby towns like Bay Shore, Babylon, Lindenhurst, and East Islip. Many therapists in the area offer both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility to fit care into your schedule. If you're considering couples therapy, family therapy, or individual support, the right provider is likely closer than you think.

Therapy on Long Island can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session 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 provider in West Islip who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
